Every time I start to feel a little more confident, I get some (much needed) CC that knocks me back down to feeling like I suck again. I love photography but it sure is painful.

It is hard. Don't take it personally, though that is easy to say.

Oh I agree. Though I think I'm past the point of blue kids ... hopefully.

I'd say it gets better but there's always places in your work you'll see to get better. But be sure to appreciate your accomplishments at every step along the way.
