Unfortunately I don't always have the time to look at the new postings, but when I do, I look at the thumbnails, not the names first. If I like the thumbnail, then I check who the picture is by. If there is no thumbnail, chances are I'll only look at it if the title is intriguing. What kinds of images do I click on? I don't care much for naked women or pictures of women standing in rigid poses wearing close to nothing. I like images that have nice colors, interesting details, a story to tell. It could be a picture with human characters or other creatures in it, or a beautiful scene. If I like the picture, I comment. If I don't, I just go back to the gallery. If I know the artist is a newbie I really try to find something good in their picture to comment on, since I'm a newbie too, and I know how good it feels to receive positive comments. If I receive a comment from somebody, I usually look at their gallery, too, but this brings me to a dilemma: There might be some really nice pictures in their galleries which were posted some time ago. Do I comment or not? Since the image is not a new posting, wouldn't it seem that I'm only commenting because he/she just commented on my own picture? What do you think? Or should I just not worry about it and comment, no matter how long ago the picture was posted? So, anyway, I look at pictures that seem interesting, that suggest a story, or have beautiful scenery. HTH!
