This might be a good time for everyone to review the tutorial 9 Guidelines for Giving and Receiving Feedback.
travis_cooper: I think your comments which were posted as examples are fine. If you get a PM which is abusive -- i.e. violates the site TOS -- then report it via the ticket system. Otherwise, just like you want people to overlook the bluntness of your comments, you might try just ignoring the PMs you don't like. It's not like they (the PMs) are part of your DPC profile or anything ... |

I don't mind about what they feel with my comments. I try to be as much sincere as possible and I point what I don't like on the picture. That's the way I would like to receive comments about my own pictures. I don't need any gently comments, I want to know the truth opinion and what they don't like on the picture.
And I hope they suppose that if I pointed something that I don't like in a photo, I like the rest. When I don't like anything, I tell that.
Also, when I like everything on the photo, I tell it.
Obviously, a comment is just an opinion and sometimes the commenter don't have the necessary skills to comment 100% technically right, include myself on the newbies group. Other thing that I've noticed is that the commenter most times is someone that doesn't score very well.

Travis, I think you're rather tough with your voting, but your comments are just fine!
Many of them even include your suggestions for improvement, which really shows that you have put some thought into them.
Keep them coming, and feel free to get stuck into my photos, too :-) |

Travis this is a comment you left me:
This shot just doesn't do it for me, maybe its because I don't really like ducks, and maybe because this duck isn't that pretty. The composition is great, the colors could be a little brighter. I do like that the background seems natural and is simple as to not distract from the rest of the picture.
I think it is great, it points out a couple of things I managed to do right while giving me some ideas how to make the photo better.
Please donĂ¢€™t stop commenting, I am sure a lot of people are like me and appreciate them.

Just bumping this thread, and the voting thread, to say that even with my dialup, my 33,600 dialup, I have made my 20% voted and 15% commented in both challenges I'm entered in right now.
I will do better, but that's my bump/up date.
I know, I know, if I'd quit yammering in the forums, I'd get more done, but hey.......8>)
Edited for fat fingers.....I oughta just put that in my signature!

I try to have a thick skin around here. I can post an interesting image elsewhere and get a bunch of "great photographer" awards (these "awards" are really more about social networking). This place is about perfecting the art.
My first instinct is to often explain why the photo was done such a way, but it gives me something to think about for the next time I press the shutter button.
I'll sometimes respond to the comments in my description field after the challenge. I've gotten a lot of good comments on my popcorn entry. Not a high scoring shot for me, but it seems to be generating a lot of comments. It must be the kind of image that you either love it or hate it. |

| Well here's a switch - I just got two PMs thanking me for comments, not asking me to get my eyes checked. Maybe I'll start commenting again! |

Wonderful, isn't it?! (That's the only kind I ever get...and not because I'm particularly flattering, either.) |
