i always encourage non-offensive, constructive criticism and sharing your ideas about anything with anyone. it is essential that we remain criticial in the flood of crap. we can't afford remaining self-assured of our greatness, impregnated against any critical opinion of our work. especially nowadays, in the time when any idiot can take a digicam or slr and start taking 5000 shots counting for luck. i'm fully aware of myself being a part of this kitsch pageant and that is why i always ask people to be critical.

so please, BE CRITICAL. don't take for granted that if someone has a canon eos 1D mark with a lens worth $1500 and took 4000 photos in thailand, for that matter, he/she can't be touched upon.

i encourage criticism. some people feel that deviantart is a society of mutual admiration. i don't. just please don't be offensive.
