Yeah, the LwitG is back… I’m delighted !

As before I visited all the pictures that I missed in the previous week… and I found a bunch of promising artists. .. and as always when I open a picture, I left a comment !

 

As I now (finally) have the possibility to connect in the evening I did a more detailed analysis of this selection :

Among the 30 images (before it was 40…! ) selected between ~850 uploads in one week, I was very happy to find 20 that really deserved to be in this list : before July 25,they each got… less than 40 views and less than… 5 comments ! For sure they all really deserve a visit AND a comment !

 

But I also noticed 10 images that already received each more than 60 views and more than 20 comments…

What is the meaning to include such images from already well_known artists (members of the gang ?) in this list ? To receive another hypocrit “I_feel_so_honored…” comment in the Forum ?

Why selecting an image that already received more than 150 views and 66 comments ?!!!

Can you tell me why YOU did you not write a comment under for example mnof’s or FuzzyYak’s excellent uploads ?

 

Understand me well…

I really want to improve this community (we have lost the best artists, exhausted by so much hypocrisy…)…

I want more interactions between the artists…

this is a community, not a juxtaposition of individual galleries…!!

 

As some of you may have noticed, and because there was no LwitG anymore, I started this month to nominate my own favorite image among the ~120 pictures uploaded the day before in the Photo gallery… So, I included every day a thumb from another artist in my comments…

But sadly, I don’t think that one of the 24 artists selected sofar received one more comment…

So, I’m driven to despair…

Is the only rule “I comment your picture because you commented mine” or “because you are my friend” ?

Personnally, I’m the most happy when I see a comment from someone I don’t know or when I receive a criticism, or when someone gives me an advice to improve…

 

With this long answer to the LwitG thread I really don’t want to hurt someone…

I repeat I just want to improve this community…

And I take the opportunity to thank you all for your friendship, especially those writing straight & constructive comments under my uploads !

Hugs & kisses
