look at it this way - you submitted the photo you took and really liked to share with other people on this site... so, you already had some satisfaction - coming up with an interesting idea, shooting, picking the best one and so on... now, if you get some appreciative comments, that's even better! if not, those are the breaks... all kinds of people come here... some stick around, and some don't... you can still learn a lot at this site and have a good time if you decide not to compete, but rather just to participate... plus, don't forget the stimulation of the challenge itself, it can be underestimated... low scores and rude comments really shouldn't turn you off... just concentrate on the positive aspects of what this site has to offer and have a good time!
