[Leica] Some fun or fear of riducule in photo land

| Ted sez:
| >>I agree absolutely, because grading tells the shooter nothing and
could
| very
| >>well tick he or she off and they'd stop posting. If this space is
being
| made
| >>available then comments are far greater than a grading number.
| ----------------------
| The way this gallery is set up, the ticking of a vote just tells
someone you
| like their picture, and the rate by which you like it!
| ---------------
| >>>By the same token from past experince, I do hope we don't get the
| usual...
| >>>"i like it!" without a comment of why the poster making the comment
liked
| >>>it.  Those kind of stupid one liner comments only point out the
| commentator
| >>>really doesn't have a clue why they like it, therefore the comment
is
| >>>worthless without one or two words indicating the good points of
what's
| to
| >>like.
| --------------------
|
| Maybe, but sometimes, I shoot a note out to someone simply saying "I
like
| it."  I don't usually post same to the whole list.   I don't think it
is
| necessary for me to go into detail why I like a shot,  anymore than I
have
| to explain to pretty Kathy why I enjoy a kiss.
|
| Sometimes a picture is not a great picture in a lot of ways, but
something
| about it makes it "nice" to me.  I defend my right to vaguely
compliment
| people, and as long as I don't overdo it.
|
| Two examples; Nathan and GeeBee. (there are others as well)  I rarely
| comment on-list to either of them about their work, but I never miss
looking
| at a posting.  Once in a blue moon, I'll drop a note, "love that pic."
|
| As I said, there are several others. And if I don't send a note, that
| doesn't mean I don't like your work.   I look at a lot of photography
in a
| day, I try not to miss anyone's posted PAW,  I am an active member of
four
| lists, and look at a couple others from time to time..  Lots of
looking.
|
| Bee Flowers chastises me for that, because he says it gets in the way
of my
| development.  That may be, but it then leaves little time for posting
| comment on shots I find good.
|
| It could be that if I cut down on my picture looking, and increase my
| picture criticisms, I will become better developed!  Just some late
night
| musings.

A thing i like about the other gallery is the page view report.
Just knowing that someone was interested enough to take a peek is nice .
