There's also the question of what constitutes "good".

I have -- coming to this from the perspective of being only-an-egg at
photography -- certainly found the breadth of PESO postings educational.

Since I think it improper to comment without having posted something
myself, I've provided links to a couple of pictures.  If I didn't think
that, I might not yet have produced a PESO post.  The general quality
level, even for the stuff where I'm sure I don't understand the
objectives, is very high.

I think that makes being able to articulate _why_ a particular image
works or doesn't work is much more helpful than "I liked it!" or "that's
nice!", even if "I liked it!" is basically cheering.
