I too, miss PUG comments, but I'm in the same boat as you. My shots rarely get mentioned, except for by those who take the time to comment on ~every~ shot (and then the comments have always been good), and back when Brogden organized the little critique circle a year or more ago - again, never a bad comment that I can remember.
I kind of felt the same as you, though. Why no comments? Is my stuff that bad? Or, is the general standard of PUG simply so high that my shots rarely stand out, but are still more than competent? Well, I've come to the conclusion that my work isn't bad. It may be that the average quality of PUG is just so high that I don't get noticed, at least not enough to stand out as a favourite of the month. Bottom line is, I don't worry about it anymore. I've become more confidant in my work over the last few years. Maybe showing in public helps that. Maybe soliciting comments with non-pug stuff, and generally receiving positive, constructive criticism helped overcome that worry. Or, maybe I just don't care as much. I do what I do, if it's good, someone will see it in some forum or another, and I'm confidant enough to know (or at least feel) what's good and what's not. OTOH, I could be completely wrong here! Wouldn't be the first time. <vbg> cheers, frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > <snip> > But I do miss the comments on the list about the PUG.
