Eh, I'm probably my own biggest critic. I've only had a decent camera for just over a year, still a learning process, I was never much of a picture taker. I'd rather learn as I go. There's gobs of pictures I've saved but will never be uploaded here, maybe a couple I shouldn't have.

Anyway, the only person I take pictures for is me. Personally, I thing most online fan creations at least start of with the creator's own needs in mind. Taking pictures is a positive way for me to enjoy what I collect. Most of the time...it can be frustrating.

I generally don't "down vote". I have decided withhold 5-stars for outstanding pictures (btw, I don't consider any of mine 5-star material.) 1-5 with no halves is a pretty tight ranking system.
