Just my thoughts on the constructive commenting of images thing - On the issue of giving constructive comments on images, I prefer to have a 2 way dialogue going (well, its the way I prefer)... i.e. where both the artist and the viewer can say their ideas, and discuss things. To me, the gallery posts are far too "one way" in nature to really leave constructive dialog. The forums offer a better alternative for image discussions just because people can post as often as they want in a thread, ask questions sequentially, get answers, leave images, ask more questions..... In my case, most of the finished images I see come from people I know from the chat room (being on a 56k modem limits any widespread gallery looking I might want to do). While I often leave a good comment (hell, most people like and appreciate pats on the back for their efforts), the chat thing gives me the means which I can use to talk with them about such things as improvements, ideas, how they made something, why they did things the way they did, the sort of effect they were after.... i.e. constructive criticism and/or sharing of ideas. I find the 2 way thing much more satisfying. But, thats just me and my thoughts.
