And lets not even get into the "so and so photography" that ends up on every newbies photos. Just because you have an SLR does not make you a pro photographer, just like having sex with your mate (gf/bf/spouse) does not make you a pornstar.


To the OP, you said you are in school for photography, what school are you going to?
True. It takes time to develop skill like anything else. I am in the same boat since I just got my D70, and yes true constructive criticism is the only way you will know what you did wrong so you can improve upon it.
