Quote - I prefer it when people critique the image. 

One that sticks out is inshaala, commenting about how one of my images was not framed correctly (leaving a bit of a corner out). I did not notice it at first, but not i pay careful attention to framing the image before I click the shutter. 

So, cookies to him and who ever else gives critique for images, rather than fluffy comments. 

Fluffy is good, but it does not help an artist develop. 

I totally agree! Of course I love to receive lots of comments  (who wouldn't?), but it's much more gratifying to get some helpful critique, especially if the person appears to know what they are talking about, lol. Afterall, as my mother keeps telling me, you learn from your mistakes. And I should know I've made a few, lol.

So here's my (very, very  late) new years resolution - I'm going to start leaving a few comments and tell people what I really think of their pictures, :lol:
