Most of my street stuff is as good or better than that...

hey ho.

Boast like that should have a few samples or a link or something.

I have no links as have no website or insta etc, but link me a couple of her shots you'd like me to post a comparable with and I'd be happy to do so. I had no intention to be boasting I just write very matter of factly.... I talk like it to and it can be difficult, but it's just how my mind works I kind of 'say what I see' and have no agendas

Well, to be blunt, I guess I've never viewed what's shared here as any sort of a competition.  This forum is a great place to share your work, techniques, etc.  And, when it comes to photography, "as good or better" is highly subjective and very much a matter of opinion and individual taste.

FWIW, my first inclination is to basically ignore boasts like this -- agenda or not, that's how it comes across... at least to me.  I'd prefer to see someone's work as an indicator of talent and let it speak for itself.  I can draw my own conclusions.  Sorry, but comments like "my stuff is as good or better than that" don't exactly give me a strong incentive to look any further.
