I agree, which is why I prefer to get feedback from several sources as opposed to banking on one source to validate my work. While I've had a total of 6 images accepted into the PPG, in addition to the members here, I value the
LWG, CWG, and
FFG a lot more than the PPG.
LWG = Loving Wife Gallery: My biggest fan and (other than myself) my biggest critic. I value her opinion more than any, especially since she might be reading this.
CWG = Co-Workers Gallery: They all love my work, which is great for the ego.
FFG = Friends and Family Gallery: They all love my work as long as it's a good photo of them.....or their kids. They can be harsh critics if I show too many wrinkles or they don't come out looking like models.
