You are probably the person who is least qualified to judge the quality of your 
photography.  Also, ability to do something has no bearing on how much you 
might like it.  There are people who have made millions of dollars from their 
music, which I can’t stand to listen to.  If I were to sing in public, people 
would be more likely to pay me to stop.

There is also a huge difference between criticism, critique and discussion.  

I think I would like that photo more if it were cropped more tightly on the 
part I find interesting.
I really like the lighting on the subject, how did you do that?
I’d like it better if the subject were sharper, but I can’t tell whether that 
is motion blur or out of focus.
and of course the ever popular
I don’t have anything at all productive to say about this photo, so I’ll make a 
pun about it and start a thread that lasts five times as long as any serious 
discussion about photography.
