I've watched some big crying going on when some fractal creators cry over comments by photographers, who quite honestly say they don't feel they can judge and score fractal images fairly, because they don't understand them, or know how they are created.
I find it is not reciprocated however, by fractal makers saying the same thing, though they talk glibly of a photographer as one who points and just presses the shutter!
A little respect from both sides might be encouraged with people taking more time to say something about the image they have just posted? I find it very irritating to be faced with a 'happy smile' or an 'enjoy' when faced with trying to understand an image (after a laborious download on a dial-up line) - where I am expected to appreciate the complexity of an image and give a critique about it - using far more time than the author ever gave to explaining what is in front of me!
Tell me more! You communicate with me - and I'll give you my time willingly!
