Kalypso has a point. Often when I see a pic that is.. shall we say.. less than perfect, I simply choose NOT to comment on it, and I bet a lot of people feel the same way: You comment whenever you have something nice to say (OR when one of your friends posts a pic...) I know I have also posted comments like "nice lightning" and skipped the "but your character looks like a pretzel" bit. In general I think people here wants to be NICE. So they post NICE comments. I remember once I had posted a picture. I really liked it but there was a major mistake on it - a braid going thru the character's head (ouch!) I honestly hadn't even noticed or I WOULD have fixed it before posting. Sure enough, among the "oh nice" comments, someone pointed out that braid. And my first thought WAS (I'm sorry to admit) "What a jerk!". Of course that person was absolutely RIGHT, but you do get so used to the "Oh nice" comments that a real honest critique hits you right between the eyes. Zooh was before my time here, so I haven't expirienced him/her. A side effect of the "allmypicsaregreat-itis" is that WHEN you, once in a while produce a REALLY great pic.. what do you expect? Since all your picture are "excellent" how about this new, REALLY stunning pic? Well, it is "also excellent" You've washed out the superlative by calling even mediochre things excellent. Personally I VERY rarely vote on pictures at all, and when I do, I have only once or twice voted Excellent, I usually vote GREAT when I vote. For precicely that reason: If everything is excellent, you can't vote for the REALLY STUNNING anymore. Now don't get me wrong, polishes halo I LOVE when people post nice comments on my pictures. I LOVE when they vote "EXCELLENT" on my pictures. I absolutely suffer from Myfriendsinflatemyego-itis. But I TRY to at least be AWARE of it 0:o)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
