[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 360547, member: 13090"] Finding people to say they like whatever I'm doing at any given moment, really, is pretty easy; most people want to be polite, not hurt my feeling's etc. and so tend to say things along those lines to be pleasant and sociable. Nothing wrong with that in my book but I take that for what it is: a polite comment, typically, from someone who really doesn't know if one of my shots is total crap, passably good, or really, really good. When I want/need legitimate feedback there are people I specifically ask to critique. I'm fortunate that my job surrounds me with professional artists that I can turn to for feedback.
