I know people whine about not getting good comments or constructive criticism and all... but come on. zero comments and 65 votes.

No comments makes Carolle (me) very sad.

Many of us here on DPC do our voting first and come back in a couple of days to leave comments. I like to give the images a little time to roll around my head before I leave comments. Do not give up hope.

Oh i know... but after submitting my image at the very last minute.. I suppose I'm not the only procrastinator around!

Hang in there Carolle! I am just a tiny bit better 3 comments. I have found that a vast majority vote first, then comment and re-evaluate later. I am now doing this, too. This gets the votes out, as I found I couldn't vote on all entries if I commented as I go. You know, I've never understood the phrase "patience is it's own reward", BS!

Patience.... whoever got ahead by waiting around?!
I"m a go getter. Waiting is not my style. GIMME COMMENTS! NOW!!! :)

I do the same thing.. I vote on all the photos and then go back and comment and adjust my votes... comments, on the average run at about a 10-15% ratio to the votes... Useful and intuitive comments usually come at rate of about 3-5 per challenge...

I count myself blessed then...
This is my first submission and I really didn't know what to expect. Out of 69 votes, I already have 4 comments, 1 of them very constructive and helpful.

I'm going through quickly - will add comments a little later - sorry, I know we all wait and wait and wait for those comments - me too. Today, especially, I need to wait a bit - I think my bad day at work will affect my comments.

Me too - I love it, only 4 comments (77 votes), I've got a really low average but I'm as happy as a happy thing. I didn't realise how exiting it was going to be. All comments have been fair and constructive. What more can a person ask?

Like the others Ive got about 75 votes and 4 comments. All of them fun and/or constructive. I'm pretty happy right now.

Like a few others here - this was my first ever submission and the suspense is killing me. I can well see how some old hands might get to checking their score every hour!

You must have a photo that is in contention for the win this week :))

wey hey :)
Honestly.. I didn't think I would even get the score I have now!

For the newbies, here is a must read THREAD
08/05/2002 06:48:37 PM · #16
OK I have 86 votes and ZERO comments with a mediocre score. Nothing bad, nothing great neither. What's the deal? Somone just give me one teensy little comment. just one.

LOL;) Been all through that thread - the awful truth is, that even though this challenge is my first submission, I was addicted almost as soon as I hit this site!

BigSmiles -- How many photos have you commented on? If you're commenting on a bunch, good for you. If you haven't commented on any/many -- well, what goes around comes around. :-)
08/05/2002 07:12:04 PM · #19
Believe me, it's worth the wait. I've been through the voting part, and now I'm doing comments. I'd rather give a thought out comment than a comment that does nothing to the photographer or to the viewer. I've commented on 8 so far and it takes a while.

So hang in there.

Also, as Patella stated...hope your doing your comments as well :-)
08/05/2002 07:15:14 PM · #20
I don't even look at the comments until I have ten or so...I'm not going to change the photo anyway, and I'd rather see a cross-section of opinion than get all emotional about one or two (good or bad) comments.
08/05/2002 07:15:41 PM · #21
speaking of comments, has anyone recieved a "signed" comment yet. I have several comments so far, many list the score they are giving, but none of them are signed. And though this is only my second challenge entry, I find this a bit unusual. Many ppl signed before.

I ask because I have been in the habit of signing mine...if I'm not supposed to I guess I need to stop ' - )
08/05/2002 07:38:20 PM · #22
mcmurma,

I sign mine - I've only done 12 comments so far. Some people sign and some don't - nothing against it. Many many people do comments later in the week.
08/05/2002 07:48:16 PM · #23
thx RedRuth,

I guess I'll keep on signing ' - )

As far as constructive criticism goes, this has been a really great week for me. Almost all of them say the same thing, suggesting I try what I had first done but didn't submit. Just have a so so score but am very happy with the outcome. I feel like I am actually doing something right for a change.
08/06/2002 11:08:46 PM · #25
update - I've gotten through 39 comments so far... and only ....142 more to go

so far I have 149 votes with 12 comments

Hope you guys are getting your comments - at least ones you could use (constructive).
