Boing
I dont know why people dont comment on my shots :shrug: shame really
I try my best to welcome all new members and comment on lots of shots, answer loads of pms, I get every day, and try to help where I can, ah well way it goes I suppose,
Hiya Dave,
Great shot, as I think I have already mentioned on your Flickr .... I sometimes forget whether I have replied or not here or there, so sorry if I sometimes miss your threads.
As for your comment .... have you ever thought that perhaps people view your photos and feel they don't have the experience or knowledge to offer critique. I know it is nice when people say 'yep I like that' but sometimes people don't want to just leave those comments (as much as we would like them to), but they perhaps feel obliged to leave more .... and as such they just move on after looking.
I can remember when I first joined TP, I was at first hesitant to reply to posts, especially a seasoned photographer as yourself, and I found I would generally stick to commenting on the 'newbies' posts where I felt more comfortable.
But hey, there is no stopping me now
Not that what I comment makes sense most of the time, but heyho that is all part of the learning experience. If I get it wrong, someone is sure to correct me ..... but then there are times when I get it right, I hope
After all what I like might not be another's cuppa so we are all entitled to our opinions of how we view images.
As for you trying your best .... I know how hard you try and the difficulties you face in getting the fantastic shots you get, so well done to you
You are always there to offer help, and I have noticed how you welcome folk to the forum. You are a true gent and a valuable TP member with a kind heart, so please don't feel down-hearted. You have been and are still a great help in my learning of photography and I always know who to PM when I have a technical question. So for that I thank you.
I will try to keep a closer check on the home page, which I haven't had much time to look at lately with all the projects on the go, and I will pop past when I see you have posted a thread to keep you encouraged.
Most of all remember you are doing great in your photography and you should be very proud of your photos.
Take care
Cheers
Dawn
