I agree for sure. The only reason I never mentioned it is because some time ago I recieved a lot of "comments" to put it politely and some very blunt remarks to the effect that "art is in the eye of the beholder" although the premise that a piece of crap is art still somehow eludes me no matter how I look at it:)
However a lot of the people here seem to either be learning or have reached thier level of incompetency and that is to be expected on any site that you are allowed to post your work on without a set criteria or reviewing type of system. That said there are a fair amount of people who are exceptionally good at what they do here but it comes back to thier work being buried with the amount of uploads there are daily.
I guess you just have to take the good with the bad :) I often think there should be a kind of "Masters Gallery" that people could submit thier work to after some type of approval by thier peers. Not saying that the work has to be perfect but should have artistic merit and kind of touch people or stir them in some way that art is supposed to do no matter what medium is used. I have seen photography and 2 and 3D stuff here that makes me strive to do better and perhaps a lot of people would feel the same way and try to improve thier work because of it.
Just a thought for what its worth:)
