maybe you are and are being too modest
or you have natural talent and dont know it

I dunno, it just feels as though something ou do for enjoyment shouldn't be worthy of praise. Not sure I am wording the thought correctly.

It's just something I do and I enjoy sharing what I see with others. It really doesn't feel special, but when people compliment me it makes me feel like I have a certain expectation to live up to and it gives me a weird sense of pressure. I mean it's nice to hear but ...bleh, I dunno.

If you wantn some critique on yer pics that'll bring you back down to earth, post em on photo.net or any other photo-specific forum. Folks who don't know what to look for in a photo are easier to impress.
