When you post your images in the gallery and enable comments and/or rankings, do you expect people to view your work with a honest and critical eye, or do you want the "oooh & ahhh" generic comments? Maybe I am just odd, but when I post something in my gallery I actually expect critical opinions and advice on how to improve my skills. I get so frustrated when I go through the galleries and see all the generic "wow, perfect render" comments with "excellent" ratings when the image is nowhere near perfect and pretty far from excellent. Is it fair to the artist/creator of these images to just give them those comments when there are obvious things in the image that could be easily fixed with a technique? If we don't give our honest opinions, how can the artist/creator learn and improve? If they didn't want honest feedback, why enable the comment section at all? Okay, okay, having the ego stroked is nice. =P Please don't think I am ungrateful for any of the comments I have received on my one gallery image, I am not. I appreciate everyone who left a comment and viewed the image. It's just that, I know the image needs loads of work, I can see flaws in it myself, but I've yet to see anyone offer ways to improve upon the image. I certainly don't think it warrants an "excellent" rating by any means! Perhaps I am just odd... shrugs
