I heard my name whispered through the ether so I just had to check it out- thanks for the compliment, BTW, SHONNER - ;) but I'll reserve comment on my own artwork! Just to stick my own oar in, I think I agree with most of what's being said. I love getting constructive criticism, 'cos if I take note I know I'll improve faster - or at least get a handle on what other people like, even if I don't agree with it. However, it annoys me to see a pic marked down without a reason being given (or with the comment "awesome pic!") or given an "excellent" followed by list of things that are wrong with it. If a person can't bring themselves to rate / comment properly then I can't see why they bother at all. If I want to gauge how good a piece is, I submit it to raph.com. I work on anything over 2 accepts as being good, and that's out of 21!!! I have a long, long way to go!!! :)
