I agree with you imax24, that's exactly my point.  When I first started out, I remember I did a very hideous Christmas picture with Posette sitting on Santa's lap and flirting with him while  her annoyed daughter looked on (one of the tacky native Poser kids).  I was so excited about this I sent it in to Daz's monthly galleries.  Now I look at the picture and I gasp and wonder how I ever thought it was good!  If they'd sent me an email saying my picture was horrible and that I need not try for the galleries again I might have given up.  Since then I'd gotten a picture accepted by them, won contests, been published in magazines, had an image included in a calendar, and did a comic book with some other people, so I'm glad I didn't give up.  We've all been there and we need to cut other people some slack.
