I think it is like trying to teach an ant to operate a TV.

I personally wouldn't take facebook seriously and for that matter get offended by "stuff" everyone does there.
I would suggest though, not a competition but if you sign up for sites like fotolia or shutterstock, you would really find out how good your picture is. Atleast how artistic and how much of a commercial product it is. I gather, the pictures you upload there undergo expert scrutiny and only the best are allowed to stay up on their sites. Again, I would not take this as an offense, if someone does not agree why my art is not being liked. But it does give an insight to what really good photos are. Learn from your mistakes. And also you can always browse through galleries and get an idea to improvise on.
Phew! that was hard! By the way, was this out of context? oops!

Darn it, I can't quickly locate my potentially prize-winning garbage can picture.
POOP!
Yes, this is the reality.
And this is the fact that they are snapshooters. We'll let them have fun. But I won't intervene.[]
I use Facebook to keep in touch with people I would have lost contact with. Other than that, there's far better places for photo critique.
I found that picture of the garbage cans. It really was not nearly as interesting as it was in real life....
OTOH, yesterday I got quick shot of what I thought was a wedding reception, but I was informed, after the fact, that it was a wizard with a princess. Stupid me... Good thing, though, because I don't own a 24-70 f/2.8L, but was using the 24-105 f/4L. If it was in fact a wedding, it'd have been totally screwed.
