OK, so let's make this real interesting:
1. Get her to sign up.
2. Challenge her to a duel -- TPF camera shootout.
3. Both of y'all post the results here and let the horde decide.
Ugh, my wife always tries to make it a contest. I'm WAY better than her at product photography. She's WAY better than me at macro photography.
Well then work it to build the relationship - when she "wins" at whatever she's good at, shower her with praise and compliments. That costs you nothing, and yet it will probably mean a lot to her to have her skill acknowledged and validated. Who knows, maybe she'll feel inspired to reciprocate.
This is exactly what I do. But still, it's GOTTA be a contest with her... grrr women.
Well, maybe "woman". I wouldn't generalize her reaction. Most women (and most people) respond to interest in their activities and appreciation of what they do or try to do. A competitiveness with someone who's presumably close is a sign of something else.
