I just did this and it works (commented on 10 pictures)!
1. Go to the overview of your votes for a particular challenge and look at the top rated fotos in thumbnail.
2. Open the picture you like best.
3. Start typing why you like it. 2 words can say it all (eg "Great idea!") More words will follow if the photo deserves it.
4. See if your attention is drawn to another top rated photo and repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. When finished, go to photos that you rated lowest.
6. Find a picture you think would have scored higher with improvements. Open it.
7. Start typing what would have improved the picture in your opinion. These are actually the most useful comments for people.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7.
9. If you have time, go to the bunch of pictures you scored medium and comment on those.
This way, you can make 10-15 people across the world happy with comments. That easy!

Easy as pie! An extension of the "slotting" vote concept.

| tends to be the way i do it. Except i lean more towards a sentace minimum rather than a couple or words. Or else i would just be rtyping "awesome" until certain keys broke down on my keyboard. |

Then don't :-)
Tell them what they could do to make it better, you dont have to tell them it sucks. Just point them in a direction to help them make better choices in their next attempt. Those are the kinds of comments I love to get as a newbie.

I see what you mean. However, the "awesome" pictures don't really need a lot of text because they are awesome as they are already. It's the pictures that I vote lower on that need the more elaborate feedback IMO.
I mostly use a sentence or more to comment on high scoring pictures as well, though. |

Now is the word awesme a 10 or 9??? and what word do you use for 8??? Is 1 This sucks??? With little or no explaination to answe why it was awesome or why it sucked the comment isn't useful usually. When I vote I try to tell everybody above 4 what score I gave and why including the 10's. If I scored it 3 or less then I usually leave something "you should consider taking more time or putting more thought into your entries before you enter a challenge. I also try to comment on every shot in a challenge as I see it being only fair (and yes it takes a lot of time to vote that way). If you give a photo that deserves a 1-3 a low score why waste time commenting on it unless its a "does not meet the challenge". It takes nothing to pick up a book on photography or read a tutorial first and think that some people just rush to enter a challenge (guilty). There are some really bad photo's and some really good photo's in every challenge, but one words comments are not really helpful. Nice to get once in a while but not helpful. |
