>>3721460/p/ has always shit on everyone's photos, all the time. that's a sign of its health. i'd be more worried if people started complimenting each other. if you like what you shoot, don't worry about it. chances are other people here like it too, but they just don't post anything and i suppose that's the real problem. just be mindful of the actual critiques, and try to ignore the ones from madfags quoting their high school art teachers when they try to advise on composition.
gearfags exist on every board, not just this one. they are a perpetual cancer, nothing to be done about it.
