A Philosophical Nature Photography Question

I'm with you on this.  I don't have a bunch of high dollar gear, and I'm not too much into static but perfectly exposed and composed shots.  What it all comes down to is shooting what I like.  And the only person I really have to satisfy is myself.  Praise from others is nice to get, but usually I post pics up on this and other sites to get creative and helpful comments.  As long as one is happy with what they produce, they should be satisfied.
