i know what you mean. at the beginning my gallerie at Renderosity i thinked the same.my solutions is, i only post my pictures in my gallerie for sharing with all the members, of course i am happy about comments and rankings, but it should not be the motivation to do it.i hate comments like " this is your best picture of all " if i had a best picture, i will stop photographie because i cant grow more. make your picture where you are, this is your picture what you see now, share it with us or not, this is your Entscheidung ( sorry i dont know the english word, maybe mention? ).it takes time to go into a new family for viewing and making comments and meeting new peoples. sometimes i need 2 hours to answer of comments, did you do it as well ? regards gerhard !!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!!
