The feeling that one can do better is the mother of progress.
"I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing." Paul Cezanne

Truth! Though I was having dinner with my actual mother last night and she made the fair point that self criticism is good and healthy, but the kind of more negative stuff I can do above is not.
Carl-E:
There's criticism, and then there's criticism. Saying you feel you could do better, and enumerating those ways is a critique, and appropriate. Yelling "YOU SUUUUUUCK!!" at the top of your voice, drowning out everything anyone else says about it is not.
I imagine you're somewhere between those two. The yell isn't drowning everything out, but it's a little too loud, and the list of the things you didn't like that made you use those very words was probably overinflated.
'cause it looks really good to me!
Thrillho:
I think we can safely establish that Garand's self criticism is not always healthy given that he entered three contests and came top 2 in all three of them, but still feels his work sucks.

It's a typical American disease where if one doesn't come in first, then at best, they are the top loser. It's one of the reasons we don't tend to watch sports that can end in draws.
GarandMarine:
I disagree hedgie, I feel that way about my 1st place finish too :P
