I agree with you 100%. When I post something for critique, I want true critique from the ones who are qualified. Well meaning compliments from grandma and friends will be of little value in helping a person to improve his skills. Some of the most helpful people on this forum are the most honest in evaluating a piece of work. Marty, Yourself , Ron smith, Roger , and Rex are some of the ones who's opinion I value the most because of that honesty. Thanks for putting it like it is. I for one don't need a friend I need a teacher. Your real friends will tell you the truth.
Jerry, I agree with every word you said. When I ask for critique, I really mean it, and I want the truth. I really value what these people say to me. Atta-boys are fine, but tell it like it is, be honest, tell me if I am progressing or not, if it is bad then I will go back to the drawing board, and my feelings or ego will not be hurt in the least.
Marcus, This has been one of the most interesting threads, Thanks so much for starting it.
