I understand some of the comments, but I think the galleries have to be viewed for what they are - a space for anyone to upload what they create. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, whether its 'good' or 'bad' (always subjective to a point). I would hate to see the web with just galleries of the more experienced such as CGArena or 3DTotal. I've had the pleasure of viewing some fantastic art here (and fantastic doesn't necessarily equal technically superb) which I've really enjoyed - art that without places like this I would not have access to. Also, places like Rendro can be an inspiration for less experienced folk to improve if they want to, or just to have fun with their hobby (that's just what it is for most people on this site, and nothing wrong with that).

I personally would not want to interact with those on other sites that deride this one because of the less experienced levels of art. That's just plain snobbish and ignorant in my opinion. Also, everyone had to start somewhere -no one came out of their mother's womb being able to make 'perfect' art! And not everyone has an artistic eye, so 'improvement' technically or compositionally may be slower than for others - or maybe they are happy at whatever level they are at. 

I do think it's not helpful if people can't comment critically. I think the problem may be that not everyone knows how to critique without making it sound harsh - and words can be easily misinterpreted, that's the nature of the medium. Perhaps Rendro should have a page on tips on how to critique in the right way. I would think most people if critiqued in the right tone would not take offence.  

Just my two pence worth:)
