Your chances of becoming a good photographer may be substantially diminish
Peter,
I usually do not show my images to anyone. Though there are friends who do
occasionally view them. The photo clerks see them more than others do. And
there is one former lurker here who has seen most of my work. I also see

because his response to similar question some time ago I liked the
most, I'd think I repeat it in my words of course.

That's just the point Shel, I understand this all too well. I seldom
make photographs of
close friends/family etc.,since I cannot emotionally divorce myself, the
