TBH, I don't usually browse the galleries.

However, if I do, I click on the "What's New" and then look at a few pages of thumbnails. And if the thumbnail strikes me in some way, then I'll click the image.  It doesn't even have to be a "great looking thumbnail", just "interesting" to my eye be it colour or content or even the name of an image.

Some of my "favourites" come from the photography gallery.  One particular image struck me so much that I actually posted a link to it in the photography forum and sent a message to the artist that they should submit it to a magazine cover. He did and it was a cover image on a photoshop magazine.

Rarely do I go beyond a few pages though.

If I see a link posted here to a gallery image, I will almost always click it and then sometimes take the time to browse the person's gallery a little.

I rarely comment on images. And when I do it's because the image really moved me and I felt a need to let the artist know. I never make "gratuitous" comments. Every comment that I do make comes from deep down.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
