Shocked I topped 100 votes! Thanks everyone! Next milestone 500?

As a personal favor can someone tell me whether or not my work is getting better? It seems like I've been spotty with my entries. I know I've had weak entries (the camera, seat belt pad, etc.). I blame most of that on getting my 10 entries so I could vote.

But I've had 13 entries now (one coming up thanks to Advantage) and some have gotten some fairly decent vote totals. Does this mean that overall I seem to be improving? Confused

I'm still proud of my flower from the icicles contest even if it only got 8 votes (was also submitted late).

It's a great combo of ideas and techniques basis. Take this very good idea and mix it with better techniques and it's a near winning entry for anyone. So, I tend to say it's a bit more about the idea... But I might be wrong. Cuz without good skills, your pic will never be the best out there. Not anymore.

Thanks for the feedback Alex. The referenced entry was a good example of what you're talking about.

Alex speaks wisely, oh great-substitute-for-livestock-and-protein.

A great idea by itself is not enough anymore. You have to be able to "pull it off" technically.

Just like a good technical post is not enough. There ought to be an element of surprise in your post.

Just like every rose has its thorn.

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

ANY country where they can't even build their TOILETS to flush in the CORRECT ROTATIONAL DIRECTION has GOT to be a scary place to live! Shocked
