Am I a genius?!

We met our new photography teacher on Friday (our current teacher is in China for the final term of our course), she seemed very nice and more importantly seemed to know her subject very well. She checked out my photos of Rose Garden that I had taken for my term two folio 'Showtime' and was really very impressed. She told me I had taken some "great shots" and had a "strong vision and a good eye"...
Ok, so it clearly doesn't make me a genius, but I did have an ever so slightly bigger head for a while...
