Hey, is there anyone out there who would be willing to be my mentor? I keep coming out really happy with the photographs I take, but apparently they're not that great, considering the scores and comments I get. I know I still have so much to learn, and would love to find someone on here willing to teach me. I keep submitting these pictures and they come out with very few comments (with one exception). I need someone I can show my pictures and they will give me an honest, constructive criticism on how to take and make my pictures better. Any help would be so much appreciated.

Rather than looking for an individual, Just browse the site. Look at past challenges and see what (at least in the eyes of the voters) is considered to be a good photograph.
Browse the forums and read people discussing techniques-
try the "learn" tab and read over the tutorials and How did they do that!? sections
This whole site is about mentoring. Don't just look for one person, there's a whole community.

I find the name "squishy" so appealing that I'd be willing to mentor, if you wish :-)

Ha Ha! The name pays off for something after all! ;-)
Thanks, Bear. I'll take any help you can offer. Will you look at my challenge entries and tell me what you think?

No, but I'll encourage you to send me a long, introspective e-mail (mine's on profile) about your goals, your self-analysis of your images, what you hope to gain from the mentorship so we can forge a common ground and work from there. If we are "compatible" I'll create "assignments" for you and so forth and so on. Are you up for it?
By the way, I wouldn't have offered if I didn't see potential :-)

My e-mail, not my list, grasshopper. I shall read and ponder your missive tomorrow when I am alert and eager.
