Personally, I would have no problem with you critiquing my pics. I find most 'gee, those are great pics' to be not at all helpful, and I often suspect that some people are complimenting my choice of a model more than the pics themselves. I admit that most of my stuff has been with one model, but seeing as how she's my girlfriend, that's not too surprising. I tried to do something a bit different with these ones (http://students.washington.edu/maxmin/pics/PicsBymaxMIN/Forest/), but they're still a lot more 'modelly' than I want.

Regarding criticism of goths in general, I tend to laugh at it myself.
