As far as I can tell this seems to be standard in the arts. I know I can't stand pretty much anything I draw, but when I show other people they're all like "OMG AWESUM@@"; even when I point out the numerous flaws that are glaringly obvious to me, the response is either "I don't see it" or "Oh come now that's unnoticeable". To me, everyone elses work always looks better than mine, but what're the chances they feel the same about their piece, what if they can see numerous flaws in it that get glazed over through outside observation?
They've got to see the work in its rough state and have executed every aspect of its creation and finishing. Naturally flaws are going to be more obvious to them than someone who's merely seen it for a few seconds/minutes or only read through it once.
Regardless, clearly whoever put your work up seems to think it's worth the recognition, regardless of it's apparent flaws. Sometimes it's good to just think that maybe you did something right.
