I agree with Mark on this. For all of its faults, the Pentax Gallery has given my photography a bit more focus (pun not intended). I'm not necessarily taking photos specifically aimed at being accepted (because most aren't) but I find I'm taking more care about composition and lighting and looking for other possibilities in a subject that I may have not noticed previously.
And I'm a bit more enthusiastic about my photography - and that has to be a good thing...
