Ken,
I'll not pour my bottle of sparkling water into the rapids either!
Here are the points where I'd offer necessary guidance.
Snap shots: These are social, fun and belong only in the Layback Cafe.
Finished Professional images, exhibitons, awards, published series: These are welcome, needed, appreciated and valuable as is!
They say, "If these standards are met, one might earn you a living". Here the Pro is generously sharing and we all can benefit.
Kudos is welcome. Critique might not. That's why poster must give a context please! John Maio has for example posted Professional headshots with character, as delivered, for which he get paid, so these are helpful examples for people to reference perhaps.
Work as Art: Put it in that forum! Say the what, when and why and how behind it. Then expect critique and be prepared for it. Also say Edit or Dont Edit!!
Work for processing in some way: Again guide us!
Challenges and Retouch: These provide threads where approaches to photographing or processing can be exchanged. These are therefore both social and educational.
Technic/gear illustrations: That's welcome, just make it succinct and make sure it works.
