I never pay attention to how mine are rated, I rate a 5 for images I apreciate a lot..These are also ones I comment on.

Maybe tinge of guilt, but basically we look at what catches our eye, and I feel comfortable with that. I can't comment on each photograph, and I don't expect anyone to comment on mine, if it is heart felt for the compo , I can feel it in the response I believe. I am not a great photographer, but I do occasionally have great landscapes to shoot. Sharing the beauty is what I love most, the creativity, too.

Oh I had to blog this.....is it ok to enter my blog address here? I don't get many visitors, my blog is just sort of my reference tool, or journal, but you never know who might show up and take a peek at Renderosity...

Surprised! Good to check the email option, I had no idea this existed! And I am fortunate to be chosen with such remarakble photographers to appear here. This work everyone has is just stunning. Great work by the forum, and love the way it's put together Iiona, everyone. Wow!!

Oh Kramer, I've seen your photos, and they are lifegiving, I am sure your daughter, however old she is now, is impressed by your visual captures and it will long influence the course of her life! I've noticed that children who live with interesting art on the walls learn to look up sooner than those who don't have it, especially if you carry them around to each photo or painting, print, whatever, as an infant, and say the name, of it. Infants within a few weeks time will turn their heads to that work when you say the name.They develop a way of seeing early on, a real eye for movement, and art, and expression. So how old is your daughter???? lol

Oh Kramer, that sounds like the best kind of support, arranging places to go to shoot photos. How wonderful. My daughter loves my photography, and asks for photos of mine for her home or office. She tells me that people ask about the photographs, and I guess that, too, is supportive.

Tunda, I was addressing your situation where you were looking for feedback from family or friends by saying that opinions from outside are not so important. A compliment is nice if it is sincere, but to be interested in ones own expression and ability to imagine and to learn from that is much more important. It is what I have taught innumerable students in art classes to open them to themselves, and I was sincere and encouraging, but perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying, sorry if I wasn't clear. Enjoy!

Well Tundy, it is a matter of developing your own eye. You don't need a teacher to do this, you need experience with yourself, it will come naturally. I say, try it, you might like it. If it sounds too far fetched to you, sorry, but I am not an inbox thinker. Also your opinion of my work, or anyone else's doesn't really concern me. "You got very welcoming coments and honestly 90% has nothing to do with your shot." I am wondering what you know that perhaps no one else knows here. An asumption, but you see, it doesn't matter, them, you, doesn't matter. Most of success, is simply being in the running, it is not always the most talented that suceed, and besides what is success? If it is not your own defination, something is wrong. Yes, much is socializing, the whole world is very much about socializing, and also it is about going inside onesself, both worlds are very much the same. We actually project our inner world's outward, creating our experieinces. Our perceptions create that.... I say , again, trust yourself. Pin up your work, and look at it, you will learn, your eye will develop, and you may see something new that no one has ever seen before. Remember what Einstein said, Imagination is more important than education. ( or knowledge) And so my dear, it is...! Love what you do! below...link to my blogs, you see, not many comments on my blogs, but I did it for me,. not for anyone else...to experiment, to learn, to explore.. arms akimbo, is my ceramic art work, included, morphed from play..I can assure you, art is more expression than it is learning..what a dry bone learning is...

I get favorable comments on my photography, maybe it is the content, I hike places many people would never go, and see what many never see. Of course i have my flower pictures, too. This is the best place for feedback, or start a blog, and post there. I think you do it for yourself, and judgment isn't necessary, so much as looking at your own work, just looking at it, all will flow from that place, as you see it from different perspectives of your own development. Hang some photos around your room, don't be quick to judge, just live with them for awhile, let them speak to you! I have worked with many people in the art world, children and adults, I tell them al this same thing. Who knows but that doing something different won't pay off in a new form that hasn't been tried before, coming from an open mind. Trust yourself...!! That is how art is, inventive, and happens accidentally as often as not.. Cheers! Jerez
