Now where did I put it.... must be somewhere in here LOL. Great capture Raj!! Your horse car is doing great ;0)

Love very much the picture. About the comments: First question: 1 Second: I try to comment all the pictures I love, but I love a lot of picture and it takes a lot of time to see all the gallery every day. I think that the option 2 and 7 are mine when I have no much time.

Another beautiful butt!! Superb macro capture and beautiful flower..like a fireworks!!! :) V

Comment or not comment that is the question.... ;) He he... Beautiful work, as allways, love this flower and the colors. Excellent pose for this bug ! ;)

Wooooaaaaahhh!!!!!! Such a favflower :) I directly fall in love to :) Comments or not comments.....Hmmmmm.......... Sometimes I feel a bit frustrated....'cause my conection is sooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooow....so, sometimes I have to skip wiewing images over 150kb of what U folks upload.. A pitty 'cause Im a qurious one :) xoxo

Well, when I have time, I comment on all photography that touches me. When I'm busy, I have to say I only have time to go through my favorites and catch up on everyone's work. This is really beautiful Raj..and fortunately you are in my favorites. :P

None of the Choices refer to me.....I "comment"....on the One's who I think will one Day be my Boy Friend....flutter flutter

1st matter: i dont care much about the ratio comments/viewings, for me its not about viewing, i do like to have many comments though, cos they are always nice to read :o) 2nd matter: When i have time i comment on most images in the gallery (only photography), but this doesnt happen often. Mostly i comment on artists that are on my favs-list (the one on rr and the one in my head: i stopped adding favs a long time ago... i just remember them). And i try to always comment on them. Besides that im looking in the galleries for images that i like. Further more i dont expect comments back from every one i commented on, but that would ofcourse be nice :o) The image: Beautiful macro work here, the colors are beautiful and the pov and compo are ofantastic !! Wonderful work here my friend !! Outstanding work !! e

Well Raj, to be sure I would never post each day if I was to comment on everything I see that provokes me. My best recourse is to have a large group of favorites that ebot me and to stroll the photographic gallery as well, even the bigger ALL entries gallery. If you don't comment on my work I find it interesting... but I'm more interested in trying to predict now and then what will appeal to who? .... I don't always comment on images I visit.... I am 5 foot 6, blonde hair, brown eyes, hourglass figure and go by the name 'bunny'. LOL!!!

This certainly has the wow factor, Raj! Wonderful subject and composition. The flower looks like an Australian native! As for commenting. Given time I stroll through all the photographs and comment on those that appeal whether I know the author or not. Otherwise I comment on my ebot favourites. I know I will enjoy their work - that's why they're my favourites :))) I'm happy when people like any of my posts, but my main enjoyment comes from the inital photographic challenge, and then the post work - trying to change a sow's ear into a silk purse! Kind comments are a bonus! :)))))

I think Enmos and I are on the same page in this matter, I can't really add to what he said except that: I would love to be able to view every posting that comes up and leave a comment, but I don't have anywhere near the time it would take to even view them, let alone comment. As for this image, I always love a good macro, like this one.It's a tad big for my screen, but the shot is great. (and when I say great, I don't mean the RR rating system great, but great as in the dictionary definition great;)

A stunner again, Raj! The colours, the light, the dof... most beautiful! Great statement you have here, my friend! I'm pretty much alike Rachel on this one... when I have time, I comment on all photography that touches me. When I'm busy, I have to say I only have time to go through my favorites and catch up on everyone's work. Sometimes I don't have even time to catch up with my fav/friends, then I'm truly sorry. I know every artist is happy with comments! And I'm sorry I mostly cannot browse the gallery and miss a lot of great work. BTW I have never looked on viewings, just take it as it is ;o)

Hello my dear friend! I am here to annotate your photograph because pleases myself sincerely and with all of the heart this your photograph! If.. for example every day you publish a photograph that pleases me.. I every day come to to say you than your photograph pleases me! Understood me also of not to see the photograph published some day and also those photograph of the friends because that day do not I can be a lot to the computer.. However your photograph is wonderful!! A macro exceptional one!! pleases Me really much! The colors are incredible!This photo is a big masterpiece!!I love it!V!Ciao my dear friend!Have a nice day!A big hug and a smile!:-))

I am pretty much in the same way as Enmos, I have some I always try to comment on,and then any that catch my eye as I am looking around. As for viewing and comments, well I like to see comments,to know what others think about it. As for you pic, thats a really pretty flower, I can see why its your favorite. Not to mention its got a little visitor. Excellent capture and job here.

This is a truly beautiful picture of the bug on the Calliandra! The powder puff flower is also a favourite of mine. As far as commenting goes, you have covered every possible type. I am a poor one in that department. I travel quite a bit and keep missing even the good ones. I try to comment on the people on my fav list, but even there I fail. I wish I had more time to do justice to all the wonderful pictures that appear. I have conditioned my mind not to expect any comments at all on my pictures. That way even one comment is 100% improvement!!! It is not a case of kindness or rudeness, it is just the question of availability of time. I truly wish I could be more gracious about this.

I wonder what would happen if we all really told the truth???? I mean really!!! Instead of just trying to be nice to all those popular names in this gallery? Sometimes it feels clickish here, and if your not in the "in croud" you might not even get noticed! Comments are always very much appreciated and I love to read them and receive them. I also know how hard it is to comment on all the ones who deserve it, with how many hours a day I work and everything else going on in my life, I'm lucky if I just get to my favorite ones. Sometimes I only have time to view and not comment. But when I do comment, I really try to say what I feel about the piece and how it effects me, I really try to be honest and sometimes a bit humorous. We all need to laugh more in this world today, I believe it's healing for us!!!!!! So Raj, as I read yours I thought you were a bit long winded and now I'm following suit!!!!! Excellent thought provoking entry!!!!

time... yes... time... if i had unlimited time, a lighting fast connection & a fast wit i'd comment on everything! lol! ...be amazed, joke, offer help... 1st the photo gallery, then move on from there to the others... the ebots help me keep track of some of those artists... i think my artist page is getting out of hand... lol :] oh & excellent image raj... as you can see i'm commenting down here cuz i've been out & ran out of time, so no sleep for me! hehe

That is a magnificent flower..it looks as though it promises bounty to that bee. Very nice capture. Now as to your question. I find that I comment on what I can.. and some extra here and there..and I do it not only because I enjoy the art, but also because it supports each other in the community. Some of your questions up there seemed a bit judgemental..as one of the catagories you did not include was I can't comment on your work because I've a slow computer and a bad connection.. LOL Sound like somebody we know? Let's face it..we comment when we can.. it's fun for a lot of us.. who enjoy art, but it's not fun to feel pressured into it. Remember, we have our lives outside this box. Happy Holidays.

A combination perhaps - beauty, friend's work and of course the constraint of time. Love for pictures, community, it interacts dynamically and I'm amazed by the potential here, by the contacts with wonderful people! Impressive work, Raj, good to think about these things!

a beautiful colored capture, and I also love the kind of flower! hm.... I try what I can if I have time, even I don't have time! g I love to get and read comments, so I know that others do also! but it makes me happy to find an artist, who is unknown and so he didn't get many comments! or some need help to get enough heart to carry on! there I try to be in full length! LOL and you think that everybody tells you the truth???? g

OOOh!! (french version of the famous "WOWWWW")... Did I finally managed to start a revolution?? Interesting questions you asked there, Raj! Not exactly the same that I asked last friday but really interesting. As I said at the end of my long comments list, all this questionning was also written for myself! Rendy members have to know that I never wanted to exclude myself when I started to criticize those behaviours and I have to admit (now that I'm not the one who asks questions) that I can recognize myself in any of your multiple choices. It depends a lot on my mood, on the time I've got to spend (and probably on the weather). It depends also a lot on the images but (I confess) on the name of the author. But I would say that, most of the time, I think and act as Jeroen described in this comments list. Anyway, the discussion had to be submitted and I think (it seems that you agree with this) that we should all keep in mind these thoughts. (your macro is gorgeous, I love it!)

I like this image a lot Love the feathery flower its so pretty & different & I try to comment on all the pics Vote n hugs Susan~

beautiful shot, a question asked among many of us.. I decided no worries. and I comment when time permits:)

first...i luv this flower! i see that bee does too! ok. i hate ebots. don't get them. so if comment on old image i may not see till days later. if it's way back in my gallery...uh...oops. once in a blue moon i look. I start with #3...comment on people's work who comment on mine. then i go to my fav. artist...if i have time after that, i'll browse photo gallery. but these days...so little time. being a newbie is hard. i found that out when i started this gallery and no one realized who i was. there i was, posting the same kind of stuff, and only a few would comment. i commented on almost everything. still got few responses. hmmmm....as far as viewings, i'm not at all concerned about it. i know some people just don't have the time to look. i'm happy if people just look and enjoy something. enjoyed reading everyone's responses!!!

Very unusual flower! First time I saw one of these bottle brush beauties was when I went to Bellingrath Gardens. I've been around and seen a lot of images in my lifetime...therefore it takes an ususual image to get my attention...upload? Happy abt the 100, never happen to me, and don't care actually...my ego doesn't need stroking...as far as commenting? Probably #7 most of the time...now excuse me, I have 173 more ebots to go through...see ya in abt a week...sigh
