I think it's just on Yahoo Answers!. I'm a member of my local photographic society and the people there go out of their way to be nice and helpful!. I've never experienced the catty, immature BS that I have here!. Don't get me wrong, the people here on YA can be helpful, but the majority of the time it's just someone being nasty for no reason!. Don't let it bother you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life is a competition sport!.!. and photography is very competitive if you want to do it professionally or if you want to compete at a local level!. I don't ever rub any ones nose in it that I am better than them and I try to be helpful to those wanting to learn!. I even try to be helpful on here, but sometimes it's hard!. Typing is a lot different than speaking and sometimes I guess something seems harsher than what I mean it to be, due to the way it is typed!. also, people on here post a lot of really bad pictures and they think they are the greatest pics ever and if you post otherwise they get upset although they asked for your honest opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Photography as a hobby isn't particularly competitive, though you can enter your photos in competitions if that's your thing!. Some people are just competitive about everything!. On the other hand, if all these people think they take better pictures than you do, maybe it's time you improved your photographic skills a little!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hmmmm are you just fishing out for compliments!?!? lol just kidding
but wow in my opinion your pictures are amazing and as for those people, its kinda like life people put each ther down to make themsleves feel better maybe they arent too good and they see that you are and theyre trying to kill your spirits
keep up the good work, i love the sunset pic!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Photography as a business is very competitive, as for people who rub it in to you that they're better photographers I would only say that every good photographer I've ever met has always been their own harshest critic!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

These are some good answers, I don't understand why everyone has a thumbs down, I gave everyone a thumbs up to balance it out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
