Steve and George,

You have both made some very good points.  I personally do not use 
social media, though some of my family members make extensive use of 
such sites.  I primarily make photographs to satisfy myself, and to try 
to expand my ability to capture such moments.  If someone else likes 
them, that's just fine, and I am pleased that they like them.

I appreciate the critiques that I receive, both positive and negative.  
They help me improve my images.
