I think we need to understand that everyone posting is doing something they are proud of and most would like to hear how to be better but a comment needs to be balanced. Suggest what could be done but acknowledge the effort and ability that was put into it at the same time. That way the person feels like continuing to try harder. And sometimes, a comment may only say Nice Shot or Great Image because the person commenting doesn't have the technical skill to make a suggestion and likes what they see.  Not everyone is giving "hugs" with benign comments. They're also learning and don't have anything else to offer. I do know there are some who only comment to get comments but I really don't believe that is the majority.
