100% Agree ! I often argue with some of my photo-friends about it. The most of them want only positive remarks. I was not agree with Peeter who said: > I probably continue feeding my vanity even when noone will respond :-D And sure nor with those words of Greg: >I agree with Peeter. I submit to the gallery solely for the purpose of feeding my ego. Maybe it good for Greg ( I don't believe him ) but for me - If I send a photo to the PF Gallery and no reviews on this week, than I feel I choose the wrong week to exhibit my work. The main reason for me to put images on the gallery is to get your remarks, reviews, critiques, etc' Review that praise my photo can feed my ego, more negative review with explanation to the negative points let me think about it and learn something. I don't always agree with those remarks but this is my busyness. Don't understand me wrong: from now on don't give me only bad remarks ! just tell me really what you think and feel ( here I agree with Greg who said: >These days that's all I hope to achieve with my photos is to make the viewer feel something - anything.) I, as anyone else, like to feed my ego now and then...

And if nobody points out to your shortcomings, they will be pointed out more harshly when you go out for serious competition in the real world. But this is me..
