Mike, it’s like playing sport. If you're surrounded by good players, your game will improve. As an astrophotography community, its pleasing to see the experienced lending a hand to the novice. We are all in it for the challenge and enjoyment, helping each other along the journey to success. Constructive criticism should always be welcome. Those who don't obtain feedback on their images have no baseline for improvement. This is especially useful for those with similar equipment and imaging goals. We all need something to aspire to, whether they are your images or someone else’s.
