Saying, "I don't like your work" isn't hurtful. Saying, "Boy, does that suck!" is. Saying, "I don't like this and here's why" is better than simply saying that it's bad. No, it's not required to explain your opinion, but what are you accomplishing by simply saying, "Ick?" Have you ever seen a bad movie and simply said, "Boy, that was bad!" but couldn't say why it was bad? I bet that you had a reason why you didn't like it most of the time. Maybe the plot sucked, or the dialog was written by five year olds, etc., but you had some idea on what was wrong. The same goes with pictures. People can't improve if they don't know what needs improving. I'm simply suggesting that it is more helpful if you can give an explanation of why something isn't to your liking. I need a life, too. Does anyone know where I could buy one cheap? ;-)
