Description
I thank you for dropping in my gallery and wish you a nice Sunday!
.................................................
Over the last weeks and months René and me discovered, that we are moving in a circle, in a road wich consists only in one lane so to speak, I mean the commenting and faving.
First I want to say that this community gave and gives us a lot of joy on a daily base, it has become a kind of 'second life', but I found myself thinking in the morning 'now I have to do my comments' and I have to fav X because he/she faved me, etc.
Some people apologise when they are a couple days late on commenting, in wich I see no need. Commenting is not a must, so you can never be late, it should be an honor to the 'visited' artist that the 'visiting' artist is taking his time to comment.
And a favorite image should be a real 'Wow-Wow', photo, modelling, whatever art, something that lifts you from your seat & not an automatically click on the fav button.
I do hope I find the right words, I dont want to offend, I just want to speak out what I feel and I am sure some people think the same but are maybe 'too nice' to speak it out.
We all come here to be in contact, even to vent on opinions and beliefs and this is a fine interactive plattform, lets keep it this way.
The son of Renés sister told us Facebook and other social networks are the same, I click I like on you, you click I like on me, I congrat you for your bday, but if I forget, you wont congrat me next year, this is a bit 'childish' for us adults I think.
Lets do it this way, 'I want to do my comments to see what my friends have achieved' and fav the one or the other work, I mean you cant have 30 favs a day because when you land on 30 you have forgotten +/- 20 of the previous right? Smile!
Lets do what pleases us and not feel forced to visit, because that will take the fun out of the whole 'game'.
Of course when somebody visits me I do the same, when someone greets me in the street, I respond thats basic education and manners. But everyones time is precious and valuable, lets honor it.

Ach nee, fliegt mal weiter. Eine Großstadt ist nicht für Euch. Super Idee mit einer klasse Perspektive. Ich wünsch Euch noch einen schönen Sonntag.

I read this on Rene's upload - you'll have to go to his gallery to see my response - I don't feel lik writing another book - lol ....hey, this is your gallery, shouldn't you be driving and Rene take the back seat? lol

I have to say I pretty much agree with these sentiments. I guess its felt the heaviest when you've had to take a little time off from Rendo and return to a mountain of images that need to be almost work like processed, commented and fav'd. Its good to see your artwork well received in the galleries, but I don't like to think people are only visiting due to obligation. And its quite awkward to see people apologising for being behind in there comment posting. I guess its in the nature of online etiquette plus the favourite artist system of email notifications perpetuates this a little. Really I don't expect to see a fav'd every time someone visits one of my images. I'd feel better seeing them fav'd when they really like it. And in turn I can learn a little from there visit.

Adorable!

Comme j'ai déjà répondu à René sur le sujet, tu iras lire sur sa page! Ils vont atterrir où ,ces charmants personnages?

Du hast so recht, Ute! Ich find es auch lustig, wie manche Leute den Text den man zum Bild schreibt, lesen lach Ich schaffe es nicht immer alle Deine Bilder oder alle Bilder meiner Freunde hier zu kommentieren, auch wenn es der Anstand eigentlich fordern würde. Ich wünsche Dir und René einen schönen Sonntag. knuddelige Grüße Kati

Lol - They are landing in Houston!

Hallo Ute, Haha, das iss´ja mal n nettes Bildchen, so etwas mag ich!! Zu dem anderen, selbst wenn ich mir hier dadurch keine weiteren Freunde mache, aber es ist schließlich die ehrliche Meinung gefragt... bin jetzt ca. ein halbes Jahr aktiv mit von der Partie und mir ist aufgefallen, daß anscheinend nach Namen kommentiert und "gefaved" wird und nicht unbedingt nach Bildinhalten bzw. deren Aufwand oder Ausführung... natürlich sind da erstklassige Sachen mit dabei, aber, wenn ich mal Zeit habe, quer durch die Gallerien zu stöbern, fällt mir auf, wieviel gutklassige Bilder durch Nichtbeachtung im virtuellen Nirvana verschwinden und genau das finde ich sehr schade!! Bin ich froh, daß ich den ganzen Plunder zur persönlichen Bespaßung mache, habe ironischer Weise erst kürzlich nen Freund hier geschrieben, daß ich mich auf "views-Fang" spezialisiert habe, mehr springt eh nicht raus MUAHAHA... auf der anderen Seite, wenn ich es schaffe, zwei, drei Leute zum Schmunzeln zu bringen, hat sich der ganze Job schon wieder gelohnt! Also eines muß ich auch noch verstehen lernen, da hat ein Bild 150 views und meinetwegen 3 Kommentare, alle drei Betrachter sind halb unter den Tisch gerutscht.....was machen dann die anderen 147?!? Witzig auch, daß sich schon ein paar mal verdutzte Leute per PN für nen "fav" bedankt haben, schaut man in deren Galerie, stellt man sehr schnell fest, egal wie gut das auch sein mag, es interessiert niemanden...?! Nicht alles so bierernst nehmen Leute, die Energie lieber auf die eigene Kreativität verwenden! In diesem Sinne, einen schönen Sonntag noch Angelo P.S.: bei Rene stoße ich auf ne praktisch leere Galerie oder bin ich heute blind??

Love the way your characters are always happy!
renecyberdoc
war eigentlich blöd doppelt den text zu machen manche waren schon bei mir und haben da ihre meinung geschrieben.ich würde auch nicht 2x dasselbe schreiben wollen lach trotzdem gut gemacht.
legolie
Malheureusement cela fonctionne partout pareil et même si ce n'est pas glorieux, j'arrive à comprendre les raisons de ce fonctionnement ... commenter prend du temps et s'il n'y a pas de retour, on se lasse vite ;-) Une image adorable ici, superbe background, tu sais toujours trouver les bons backgrounds !!

Super scene Ute :)
nitegrafix

magnus073
This is a wonderful image Ute, and I always enjoy your art. Like I said to your husband earlier, I haven't uploaded an image in nearly a year and a half and only comment and fave the artist who hold a special place in my heart still

Love those cute characters and image!
Savage_dragon
I do agree, Ute. The fact is, I guess I lose track 'cause I don't notice if someone has not commented on an image I upload. I read what is there, I smile & I move on to have fun on the next render. If I miss someone's upload, oh, well. Life happens. I can sometimes find myself hitting the fav button out of habit or friendship. Even unconsciously. But there's no harm in that. Enjoy yourself & be happy, dear! Hugz ")

Ute du sprichst mir aus der Seele!! Das wirklich Traurige dabei ist nur .. das mancher "Schrott" .. sorry wenn ich das so hart sage .. zig comments bekommt und einige wirklich tolle Bilder .. verschwinden in der Versenkung! Hab mich leider auch schon einige Male dabei erwischt, mich über fehlende comments zu ärgern .. aber als Mutter einer 6 Monate alten Tochter weiß ich auch wie klein die Zeit ist alles zu kommentieren .. Btw .. nicht ärgern und ebend nur noch posten und faven^^ was einem vom Hocker haut :) Ach und nun zum unwichtigen Teil .. LOL .. tolles lustiges Bildchen :))

this is a cute scene. like I wrote to Rene: I agree with you on the visiting and commenting. what a nice group of people we have here that we're afraid of hurting each other. I visit most of my friends and comment on most of their images but I don't always favorite them. please don't feel you ever need to view or comment or fave my images.

wonderful composition and characters, excellent background!. I think people should do what they like, at least here in RR. I look at the artists' pictures here to improve my work, my technique. Sometimes it's a pose, a texture, sometimes a POV, a light, or an object that I didn't realize would be available. There is always something to learn from others, and of course there is the PLEASURE, the pleasure of admiring beautiful pictures and reading some wonderful stories. Yet if I wait until the image opens, it costs me nothing to leave a comment. It's a courtesy, a tribute to the artwork and the artist, a tribute to those who have already commented (and comments are an integral part of the image and of this community), an incentive for newcomers, and also provide a score to those who love to be in the charts. About favorites I usually click when it's a WOW! image or writing. I never thought commenting on my pictures was mandatory. I know that many people look at and only one third of them drop a comment, but I also see that some people comments from time to time, but is following the story, that's what counts. Life is hard and time a tyrant, many don't have time to comment. There are a hundred reasons either for commenting or not, let each do what he/she thinks is best, what he/she likes best. For my part I never made the exchange, "I will comment, if you give me comments" as many here know, and I never will.

i said my piece on docs my friend. this is incredibly charming work Ute, a really enjoyable image..

Your scenes like this always make me smile! I enjoy visiting peoples galleries here, learning from what others have done & what they say in there comments on my work! It would be nice if life allowed more time for me to leave longer comments.

First: I love the image! there's a lot of humor in the scene - just picturing these two operating the helicopter should be scary enough, but to have these two? let me find shelter. I comment and fave your work, Ute, because you do outstanding work and you pay attention to details. You have an ability to display emotions like no other has been able to and it is for those reasons that you are listed as a favorite artist in my book. You and Rene bring joy into my life with your images and writings. I feel that if we were ever to meet in person, I would call you family.

Ute flying a gunship. Certainly not the roads you usually travel. Both you and Rene have something here.

I comment on all of my favorite artists images, I pretty much fav all of their work as well.. it isn't about points, it's about being recognized for the work put into an image and the time they took to complete that work, and sometimes it's just the wow factor or the thought that lies behind the picture... but mostly it's respect and love for a community of friends I have never had outside of here.

No seatbelts?! In that thing I would think that seatbelts were mandatory! LOL

Ute, du sprichst mir aus der Seele. Am besten gefällt mir "....und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier". Is ja oft so. Da ich aber auch anderwertig viel unterwegs bin und in Schichten arbeite, habe ich manchmal zu tun, um alles unter einen Hut zu bekommen. Ich habe einen kleinen Stamm, wo ich regelmäßig reinschaue und dann überfliege ich die Neuheiten. Ich ärgere mich oft genug, dass ich nicht allen gerecht werden kann. Übrigens, dein Bildchen heute ist ein "Überflieger".... Ick drück dich Julchen
