"Anton missed one other ploy to get hits. Post a message here with a link to the work asking opinions on something ie, I tried..., 3 years of work cumulating in... blah, blah, blah... Don't forget a catchy title to your message. If there is a link and something to be curious about people will follow." I do post a link in the forums sometimes asking for opinions, but I'm genuinely trying to get help. You won't get help from comments left on a gallery image, you either get "Oh, Wow!" or "Oh, %^@#%^!." When I link from the forums, I don't get but maybe an extra comment or two on an image, if any, but I do get IM's regarding technique and critique, which I'm after.
