their opinions aren't "good enough" for the rest of us, or aren't

afraid that their own photographs aren't "good enough" to expose to
the rest of us.It's not that I feel my opinions aren't "good enough," I just think my opinions would be innappropriate. Much of my reasoning for being on this list is that I am exposed to a great deal of technical information, constructive criticism, and experience based feedback. I am more of a learner than a lurker. My professional situation is one where I have to learn as much about this craft as I can (and, Emily, your article contribution is received with many thanks) and this list has been a life saver. I am honored by those who take the time to criticize my images and offer ideas I never would have considered simply because I don't have the training or experieince. My reluctance to give an opinion is that my opinions are merely aesthetic and would do little more than tell someone whether or not I like their image with little constructive support. Hell, I just recently learned about the "Rule of Thirds." Oops! Did I just mention that?! Sorry, Bob.
