I visit the galleries several times a day and what usually draws me to an image is the thumbnail, I notice color first, warm fall colors will get me everytime, not the artist. I am not very likely to click on an image without one, I don't know I just won't and it doesn't matter who's it is. As far as T&A goes, I just recently posted a couple of images that had "nudity" beside the title and yes they have gotten the most views of all of my gallery - although I must admit they are better than my others. I don't get many comments and I'd be lying if I said that it didn't bother me, I notice the trend just like everyone else, while I am not new to RO but I and fairly new to actually posting images and even newer as a merchant, I figured it's pretty much the norm. I've often come away after posting something that I worked really hard on and may only see a couple of comments, but I've learned to accept that and move on and will continue to post what moves ME and not what I think someone else wants to see. I've thought about removing the option for comments but I feel it's a chance to connect with others in the "community", be it praise or a critique - hey I worked on that lighting for an hour and to have someone say "nice lighting" makes me feel good, it doesn't validate me as an "artist" it just plain ole makes me feel good. I leave comments in galleries that move me, it's as simple as that, again the artist doesn't matter.
