Seems that writing comments depends a lot on the time one has available as well as what each person finds appealing. For me, commenting also depends on the mood I happen to be in. Some days everything is beautiful and other days I'm not as turned on by fractals or other types of art. This may be true for others as well. I'm retired and have quite a bit of time to look at all the art in ALL the galleries and make comments. Also, I try to make sure I write comments on images of the new people here in the fractal gallery. I can just imagine how it must feel posting a first fractal and not getting a welcome or a single comment of any kind. It must be rather discouraging. I don't believe we need to justify our actions regarding commenting. To each his own. Marion
