AHHH! to comment or not to comment..that is the question. What's the answer? Who cares and why should you? if you spend your life trying to please others with your art then you've got a long journey ahead of you cuz not everybody thinks the same. people have thier preferences on what type of art they comment on and the only way to know is to ask each and every member [not gonna happen ]! although i do agree that sometimes it seems like only certain types of images or certain artist get consistant comments while other just get a hit or two here and there. What do ya think posters put thier hearts and souls into thier work for?..just for you to treat it as just a passing fancy by gracing it with a hit!? Screw the hit count! i could care less how many hits I get...it doesn't always mean that people like what you post..it mostly means that people want to see the thumbnail at full size, because sometimes what appears to look good in thumbnail view doesn't translate to full scale. I mean if i get 200 hits but only 2 comments it doesn't make me feel that i've accomplished anything or that what i've done is appreciated! but ya can't let that bother you not if you have faith in your abilities. true it's hard to comment on everything people post..i don't...hell i barely browse all the galleries [this site has just become too f**king big to see and comment on everything]. the problem is that everything an artist posts, he/she thinks is a masterpiece, and to them it might be. and thats all that should matter. an artist is nothing but a dreamer if no one sees his/her work, but if a thousand see it and say nay bhut just one person says aye then his work is done. in other words...POST FOR YOURSELF!
