For no particular reason, when I think of my "personal favorite" comment ever received, it's one left on this picture:

and reads as follows:

"very interesting play on the challenge. excellent composition and choice of colors, as well as near-great control on the lighting (i know the tiles are white, but the tops appear blown). i am really looking forward to finding out who entered this, as this is representative of the works of only a handful of dpcers. really expect to see this on the front page. good luck!"

I'll never forget the burst of pride I felt when I was placed in the category of "only a handful of dpcers."

Thanks for taking the time to comment Skip!

I don't know about my favorite comment, but this one really makes me feel good for some reason..

It was on my first entry.. So I did get alot of encouraging comments anyways, but I felt extra warm and fuzzy when I read this comment:

"Your first entry? Way to pick a hard one! Exposure is your enemy here. It looks like you let the camera do the thinking and it exposed the sky perfectly. Unfortunately, the interest is in
the foreground which is to dark."

The comment was made by

xodiak.. And not only did it make me feel good, but it actually helped me without making me feel stupid.

One of my earliest comments, on my fisrt entry (so bad I won't link to it here):

DowseDesigns:

"The commentors on this one have pretty much nailed a good initial impression of this image. It also depends on what you're going for, it does have a bit of a digital art feel to it. I would suggest a much longer exposure for this type of shot... your ISO is punched way the heck up which will introduce quite a bit of noise, but your shutter speed is pretty fast for a night exposure.

I would suggest using a tripod and exposures at least 30 seconds or longer for true nighttime photography... Not terrible for a first-time entry and I hope it doesn't discourage you from future entries."

Direct, honest, with concrete feedback - allowed me to tank my entry but still feel like I should come back and try again. Thanks, DD!
