That Matrix thread just goes to illustrate how some people bring the bashing on themselves. I mean, the guy posts mediocre pics while bragging they come from a $12k hasselblad with the topic title "would you hit it?" - thus inviting comments and critique from the masses.
Then, when a few of us offer well-meaning suggestions, he gets all defensive and personal about it...rather than respond to the critiques.
(shrug)
The hallmark of a true professional is one who appreciates honest feedback and realizes that constructive negative criticism is probably the most valuable in helping to improve one's skills.
