1. Graywolf, define competent. Competent <> This particular image is a work of art. 2. The above is immaterial, to which I say "Bologna!". When I or some others post a photo for display here, we WANT a critical appraisal, and we're not just doing it for fun (although it is fun). One might expect that a photography list with many experienced photographers would see it that way. As Mr. Robb has pointed out , it's apparent this isn't the best venue for that. I've known it for a long time. On the other hand if you want somewhat to comment positively on an image, no matter how crappy it is, this IS the right venue.
