I just wanted encourage everyone to vote on the images that they like. I made an assumption that a few of us had stopped voting, like I have, and I wanted to encourage us to vote. The friendly voting and comment swapping will never go away because it's part of our nature, so I wouldn't expect that to change. Just vote. On a slightly different topic. I have said this before... everyone is invited to tell me what you really think about any image in my gallery. If you don't like what you see, please say so. I have no problem with hearing your honest opinion about what I do. I would love to know what impresses you and what doesn't. The thing is, fractals ARE abstract art. They bring out different emotional responses in us by their nature. I would like to know what your response is, even if it isn't great. I would like to think that I have the same permission to tell you what I really think of your art, but I know that I don't, except for a few.
