Why do i click..? i'm curious, so you have to make me want to see "what's behind the thumb" smile i tend to have some cliks on my images, and i think i have a clue why. i'm not the best at anything here, fact wich could explain clicks. and i surelly don't pretend to have the truth about that "click discussion" but i can tell you my opinion. In my work, for example, i love to play with thumbs. i spend almost as much time working on the thumb than working on the image itself smile i know it can look strange. What i mean is that i work on the image itself, and when i'm done, i start to think : -ok, how do i want to surprise them? -how to tease them? -What would i think of such a thumb? -what do I want to see? what do i want to show? - would I click on that? -how to make them smile (them would be the potential viewers) etc... Sometimes i create 20 thumbs to keep only one. don't think i'm a maniac about that, lol, it only takes a few minutes to decide what thumb to create or to use. but i think a lot of VERY TALENTED people here misestimate the importance of the thumbs, and i think it's the reason why people will look or not at their work. this was just my opinion, trying to answer the first question.. ;o)) About the comments.. that's harder. i don't comment often actually, cause i don't think what i would say would be really interesting. But i do comment when i'm "touched" in a way by an image or when i'm in the mood. You know that feeling??? Take care Cecile
