I post to improve both my image making and my pp so I tend to post images I am happy with and thinking of printing (to get that final tweak) and shots I am unsure of but think I can learn from or want other more critical eyes to see. I think there are others who do as I do. Some people seem to only post their perceived best images to see what others think of them. There are also some who only post images they are unsure of. Then there also seem to be some who post images more to promote their workshops than for participating in the critique process and community. As I often tell people, I have learned more in my 2 years on BPN then anywhere else both regarding image taking and pp. I believe that my education has been equally enhanced by posting my own images for critique and by reading and subscribing to threads about others' images. I for one hope you post more often.
