So very true.  We each have a personal conception of what deserves comment but frankly cannot blame the community at large or scapegoat a "group of friends".  I do not depend on friends for comments, eventhough some do comment when they happen to see one of my uploads and I am grateful for their honest commentary and criticism.

The easiest way to gain more comments is to comment on the images of others. This is not a "trade comment for comment" as I see it. If simply happens that when a photographer or other artists comments on one of my images..and I am not familiar with that person, I will go to veiw their gallery.  I want to see the sort of work they do!  If then a comment is needed, it is given. If not, it is not.

I doubt anything anyone says here will change your thinking. I am not a bout to try to change a "decison already made and stated."

Please read Onslows comment and take a look.  That comment does have meaning.  Oh, why have I not commented on the shot you mention? I simply have not seen it during my limited gallery time..timing has a lot to do with it.          TomDart.
