Oh please dont stop pointing out good things! I guess in my short time in the group I was very fortunate and got excellent feedback.(I dont mean they said my picture was excellent, rather the opinions expressed were excellent.) They said what it made them feel and whether I achieved my stated aim,what they liked and what didnt work. Both aspects helped. I must admit I scringe a bit when critical things are said but most were spot on and I did my best to incorporate them. But to know people looked at my picture and found specific good things to say about it,is amazingly nice!
As for qulifying remark like "just a quick picture" - whatever the reason,if to cover up insecurity or fishing for complement, I just comment on the result. I do leave a comment of "nothing to comment" about some aspects, but only if I have something to add about another aspect.
So far - thank you very much!
"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams,
or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not
wish to paint, the things which already have an
existence."
