number of comments =/= quality of photo
number of views =/= quality of photo
size of your "social circle" on the site and your willingness to post multiple inane comments on others = lots of inane comments on yours

See the mismatch here?

If you want real critique, post it in here and ask a specific question.  Or put "critical comments" on when you upload, and reinforce that by putting it in the description that you are seeking good comments.

When i had time i used to make sure every comment i left was constructive in some way and i think i am right in saying i have a reputation for saying what i see.  Those who know that on the whole do the same for me - that is where the reciprocal nature of the site works well.

So i guess i am saying is:-

• have patience,
• post critical comments on others (unless they specifically dont ask for it - in which case they probably wouldnt post critical comments on anyone's work anyway)
• dont compare your level of comments with others and think it reflects the quality of the shot in any scientific way (there is some relationship but this is skewed)
• remember that if you think it is good, it is good.
