I have actually improved. Like, a lot. For the longest time I was thinking that I was not getting better, because in my head, my old pictures looked good to me. I recently actually looked at my old pictures. HOLY CRAP. I thought that was good! I actually POSTED that! And now, less than 3 years later, I personally think that I have come a long way. This only encourages me that maybe in another 3, I'll make as big an improvement.
