If you like it that's good enough. If one other person likes it even better. And, since you're a pro, if you've produced something saleable - you win. Don't let anyone debate your work unless the prize is big enough. Beyond that all people can really say about any artform is yes I like it or no I don't. Photography is subjective.

They out the inner bully. I had the unfortunate experience to admin for a tv show forum. We had stalkers, attempted suicides live online, death threats, manipulation... we're talking primarily overweight, nerdy teenagers here with anti-social issues that find a freeflowing outlet for their rage. One chick, a very intelligent woman but he arch bully of the forum, was actually the sweetest person in real life. A school teacher. It's just she had a sadistic alter-ego. So yeah, don't put your stuff up for debate on a forum. Build em up, knock em down - the old NME adage, but with forums there's no bracing for the assault. Your stuff is gorgeous.You don't need validation. Do you? Julesx Forums are pure evil. They out the inner bully.

No one likes criticism beyond what is useful. In the end you gotta just follow your instincts. I feel for you. No one likes criticism beyond what is useful.
