[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 216923, member: 9240"] Understand that while I strive for tack sharp in my own photos, I understand the learning process, and that not everyone has the same goals for their photos - and I think that's great. I think there is a tendency to just be over-critical on the internet, as it costs us little of our own souls to poke at others for the sake of poking. So like you, Mike, I love the low key atmosphere here that allows you to ask for a critique and know you're not going to get hammered by the "photography gods", whoever they are. Nick is a pro, and I aspire to make some kind of business of my work, and as such I would hate to think that someone looking to sell their work isn't "willing to go the extra mile", as Nick says, because I certainly wouldn't want to hire them. But "good enough", while unacceptable to some, can be more than satisfactory for person's situation. I would hope that those who are here are here to learn, so while it may be "good enough" for now, the desire to grow is there, because when you start figuring it out it can be that much more enjoyable.
