If someone doesn't like a photo of mine I'd rather know about it, and be told
why. The same goes if they like it. That's the only way I'll learn to make
better photos. I'm neither sensitive nor politically correct so I can take as
much as I can give :) I rarely get any feedback from my PUG images and I
never know if that's because they suck, or because my style is so unique
that noone appreciates it :)
Keep in mind that we all have different tastes and if one of my landscapes
gets assigned to a person who's more into candid portraiture, they might not
appreciate it in the same way that I do (I take photos to please only myself -
until money comes into the equation:).

This is true, it may be more appropriate not to post comments in public but
I'd leave that up to the individual.
