Originally posted by PDL I was under the impression that this thread was a celebration of PPG, so why go out of your way to dis it? I think you need to get a little thicker hide, not everyone is going to think your work is that of a genius. I have had 13 rejections and some of them are my most favorite ones - did I feel bad? Yup sure did - did I give up - Nope - I just used them for other purposes.
Also - just what is your criteria for a "good" photo? You should be able to articulate something? For example - here is a set of criteria that I try --- note the word try --- to use when looking at others work. I also try to use it when looking at my work - but I can not critique my own stuff all that well.

Don't take this so personal, I looked at your gallery here and while they are not bad - just what makes them unique. I looked and thought - Oh, another set of head shots.
Edit: Your tag line "Don't be so humble, your not that great." - maybe you should tell this to the guy who is looking back at you in the mirror.

Wow it has really been a while since my post.
I am sorry that I put down the gallery and not sure why I said it.
I'm trying to get in at least one picture out of like 10-15.
Well I am sorry for what I said and I'm sure that when I
get in it will be a very good day.
About that quote, People say things like that it usually
has something to do with them and in this case IT DID...
I think I have become a lot better since then so I hope at least
one gets in. If you want to see them you can see most of the ones
I submitted on my blog.
Edit: by the way is it normal that my pictures on the
gallery which I am waiting to be voted on are
really big sometimes I have to scroll through them?
