Eric, there are a hell of a lot of images in the gallery that obviously do not appeal to elpinio, who constantly does this and leaves no comment! Funny how elpinio has no work posted... Yes, art is very subjective, but I believe the point that Tim is making and that people are agreeing with is the "no comment" with a low rating. Hell, if you think my use of color or lighting or something just really sucks and want to give a low rating, that's absolutely fine with me, as long as you tell me WHY, so I can improve on that aspect in the future. And THAT is the point of ratings and comments in a gallery such as this one- to help us all raise the standard of our work that we enjoy making so much. But if you are going to go to the trouble of giving a low rating, why not give your reasoning? Even if it's only "I agree with the above low rating".
