All thoughts comments a while back, about only submitting images of the utmost quality to the PUG are a crock IMHO. Post the best you can do, and await any constructive criticism.
If I relied on the comments of friends and family, I would have stopped trying to do better 10 years ago. As a mediocre photographer myself, post & submit images I say. It's one of the better ways to help improve your work.
