When I see people who indiscriminately praise everything thats posted, whether tepid or otherwise, I tend to lose respect for the entire process. Rather than damning with faint praise, which does no good at all, perhaps it would be more honest to call spades what they are. Often, this list is little more than a circle jerk when it comes to reviewing pictures. It's a nice, warm and happy place, and I appreciate that people need that in their lives, but the best way to improve your pictures is to have it ruthlessly picked apart, and have the failings of the picture pointed out. Unfortunately, when people do that, they tend to get spat on. I don't post a lot of photos at the moment because most of my photography right now is client based for the studio I am working for, and I'm not bothering with securing permission to show the stuff. My work is selling, and making money, I don't need praise beyond that. We can agree to disagree on this one, I won't think less of you for it, and I hope you'll feel the same way.
