Just to weigh in on the "how to best comment" debate. If someone takes the time to say ANYTHING about my image, I appreciate it.

If they want to say "It sucks" then great, I know my image didn't appeal to certain people, if they want to say why it sucks, then even better, it tells me if it's something I'm doing wrong or if it's just personal taste. If someone wants to write a book on my image, then wonderful, but I want a split of the profits :)
Fact is, people will comment they way they want to comment, if they choose to push themselves to do 400+ comments and that means they leave 4 word comments, then that's their choice and I don't think it's up to anyone to tell them they should do more or less, people should just be grateful they took the time.
Personally, I like to tell people what I see in their image and what I like or don't like. Sometimes though, I just won't have much to say about a shot, so I won't force myself to type stuff just to fill space. If you like or don't like something I said about your shot, you're welcome to PM me to discuss it.
And finally, my progress in this challenge, well, I'm slowing down, I've found I have a lot to say this morning but still aiming for that revised comment target of 200!

Still going. And you might end up with a "Great shot, I like this" with no further explanation. Sometimes I just likes it! :-) |

Checking in. It's not easy commenting on the images with the lesser votes, but those with the low scores always complain about no comments... so we'll see how many are marked helpful. I'm trying to be constructive.
This is my progress:
You have rated 442 of 445 images (99%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 147 images (33%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.8462.
There are two images I can't vote on for reasons I cannot disclose here - no discussing of images in voting. But I commented. :o) |

I am not going to make my target of 200 - something has come up with the school and it will demand much of my time and energy till it gets done. That said, I will still take small *breaks* to do a little more commenting here and there.
Just wanted to chime in and say thank you to all who have left me a comment and keep chugging away with the critiques/comments:-) |

Commenting on images I've given a low score induces anxiety in me. However, I just checked and a lot of my comments on (for me) low scoring images were marked helpful - whew! This is definitely a learning process.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who marks them as helpful, it inspires me to comment more, and I do hope they really were helpful!

I got a comment from you, and I have to tell you, it's *way* off base.
You attributed some knowledge and skill to me in a technique that I hadn't even noticed 'til you pointed it out.........8>)
Thanks for making me feel like a dork for accidently doing something right! LOL!!!

Wow everyone's been busy while I've been out to dinner...good for ya'll...took a photo walk today...nothing great but it was fun...going to walk the beach tomorrow (I'm in Clearwater, FL for a few days, my niece has meetings during the daytime so I have "free time"...snicker) anyway...I will finish up my next 25% tonight and I might start on tomorrows...it is a learning experience isn't it when you have to explain "why you gave a 4/5 or whatever"...that's why I would like to see 100% comment challenges more often...it has really helped me grow...I identify what I do not like and what I do like.
Can anyone help me come up with a nice ribbon...I have negative talent in this area...and converting one of my pictures into a ribbon just doesn't sound appealing...anyone...please |
