I wish I could find a way to make it clearer to viewers/commenters - If the comment comes from you  personaly (from the brain or heart)  and not a 'stock' comment - I realy appreciate it. It makes no difference how long it is, if its critical or favorable, if you're an expert or a newbee. Its the personal touch.  I am just so amazed that people I dont know would take the time to look at my work  & comment, and I am greatfull for that.  If you give me a clue how to fix the flaws you saw-  it is obviousely helpfull, but not at all mandatory.
Sometimes not knowing the tools is actually an advantage.  I know I tend to be more lenient in my comment if I know some aspect is hard to achieve using that technique. But realy I shouldnt - if it doent work- it doesnt work.  Choose another method, get different content, post a question on the forum, or just accept it that other people can see the flaws too and move on...
We  all know the "emperor's new cloth" - the little kid who yelled 'the king is naked' probably knew nothing about fashion, cloth making, the economy of the textile industry, indecency laws, cancer dangers of exposed skin etc.. he just knew what he saw and he voiced it.  So speak up people!
To finish i'll  admit a couple human failings -
-Being naive, I think that  if you say you want critique, I think you actually want it. If I am too harsh sometimes, send me a message and i'll appologize and stop.

• Its perfectly fine if you dont always comment on my images, but if you never ever comment on any of my images at all, sooner or later I'll  get discouraged and stop commenting on your images too- sorry...

"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."
