Hey Spoony,
These guys are tough; you need to thicken up the old skin to deflect any unwanted comments. Nobody here really wants to hurt anyone's feelings. It's all in how you receive what is written here.
I have 4 pages in my gallery and only 1 received a rating (I think they liked the engine). I consider myself lucky that someone actually took the time to rate it.
The good that came out of this thread is that you may have learned you may be using the wrong equipment for good quality photos, or as stated, the settings may be wrong. Keep trying and posting, you can always delete the old unwanted ones.
