Sometimes I feel as if I am picking my way through a mine field. In a Forum like this, is there any way to tell who really wants help and not just a happy pat on the back?
Maybe we should start a list...

If you start a list, put me down as really wanting help. It is wonderful that talented and experienced professionals will take the time and trouble to post a critique of my work. I value your comments and advice like gold. I have already gained a lot of understanding about what I need to improve and how to go about improving. Reading other critiques has also been valuable in understanding what goes into making a good portrait.
It is only human to remember an argumentative or ungrateful reaction to your critique much more sharply than acceptance and gratitude. I try to express my thanks and want to show that I've taken the advice to heart when I next post for critique. So please don't feel that you are "casting your pearls before swine."
