I would have to be a big fat lier if I didn't admit that I look at every image that has Excellent below the thumb. I always check the "allow viewers to rate image" box because if I can get an excellent, or good rating then hopefully more people will drop in to take a look. However,,,, I have recently aquired many of those rankings on my images where I don't necessarily believe my images deserve such a ranking. I would agree with everyone who says that too many people give way too much credit where they actually need to move in a little closer to examine what they are looking at (including my images), and say anything at all that would help improve the art we produce instead of leaving an unhelpfull, "nice job", or "good work". Don't get me wrong... although very flattering, at least tell me what's good about it, or what I did a nice job on. and also, tell me what I freakin' suck at!!
