I was wondering does anyone comment on images without being sent a message asking to comment?Plus I have been sent message to comment on my own stuff is that normal?
i would guess that is probably not normal. I comment more frequently on pictures that haven't been requested because they are the ones i acctually have things to say.
I will probably comment on an image when asked only about 50% of the time. I often find I have very little opinion about a photo, or in the case of fractals or non-pictures I have zero interest. I prefer finding images I like and then commenting.
And yes, I once got a comment request for my own image, too.
As of yet, I haven't received a comment request for one of my own images, tho' I got one once where I had been the only person already to comment, so I declined to comment a second time.
And yes, all kinds of people comment on all kinds of images, without being asked. Like me. And all kinds of people comment on photo & non photo, alike. Once again, like me.
i go thru the galleries & comment on any image that catches my eye, & follow up on comment requests too.I go thru the galleries every 4 days or so. & as above, I am yet to receieve a comment request on one of my own images.
I have been looking around the last few days and it seems to me in order to get comments you need to be in the "group" apparently it seems like there are groups of people that only browse within their little groups.
There are no groups.. Never have been.. If you like something comment on it.. If you don't like it, then don't. simple as that.. I comment on anything I like and some times on things I don't like, just because I don't.. I will not listen to the group thing, we went through that months ago.. They did not exist then, and they do not exist now.. Stop being silly.. Don't start it!!!!! We don't need any more of that nonsense!!!
so .. ?? .. get in a group ... might help to stop irritating people .. but only if the rules haven't changed since grade school .. It also helps to NOT think you have all the answers after logging in on the 24th
People who are new often have trouble getting off the ground ... they LEAVE after a while .. or they STAY
So, Raymond ? is it ? Comment on an image or two, & people will be curious as to who you are & comment on your images. If you're upset because your images haven't gotten alot of airtime, post a comment request on the thread of the same name, people will respond ...
BTW, yes, occasionally someone is asked to comment on their own image ...it happens
If you wish to put forth dark work, that's fine, that's your style, don't change for anybody .... but ... understand that NOBODY has time to look at and comment on everything ... especially at this time of year, people are busy ... if the thumbnail doesn't get their attention you are going to go undiscovered for a while .. if, later, you produce something that gets attention, they will look at your other works
to sum up ... I think your opinion of your work is higher than other people's and your wondering why the team hasn't hoisted you up on their shoulders and carried you off the field
I'm still waiting for that, myself
Go look at 'tbob' ... his work is the closest to what your doing
and in the meantime .. stop assuming we are a bunch of cheese-eating comment monkeys
We all started off like that.. it takes awhile for people to look, especially at this time of the year, there are so many images posted each day that some are easily overlooked, a lot of people dont go for really dark images therefore will look at that last... as for people not commenting except for being asked.. that is a load of rubbish, MOST people will browse through the new images (when they have time) and comment on ones that catch their interest, and most will comment on the ones that have been requested.. I wouldnt take offence of not having many comments, I have been here for awhile and some of mine have only a couple of comments as do quite a few others... As for groups of friends commenting, that used to happen a long time ago it has since been stopped, and that would irate members here quite a bit with that accusation! My suggestion is look through the gallery and see what people want for desktops, and work from there, you have the right idea with your work, it just needs a splash of colour and a bit more sharpness.. but on the other hand the dark style is YOUR style and no one has the right to change that, however it seems that your more concerned about how many comments than sticking to your style.. so add colour and you should get more attention.
The nerve of some people... and he had the gall to whine about not getting comments.. I'll give you a comment alright.. but it would have to be censored.. grrrrr.... nothing is safe is it.. WHAT A FOOL.. Hate to tell you this R A Y M O N D or whatever you are.... but Tbob is a Caedes member too.... hope you get what you deserve for ripping... *wonder who has the biggest boot in here - runs off to get tape measure...
I couldn't have said it better myself, Jacqueline! My god Raymond! Could you be a bigger loser!? What gives you the right to rip someone else's image, and then complain about the responses! I don't normally consider myself to be a flamer, but...Oh Hell...Well, where did I put those matches and that damned gasoline? You're toast Buddy!! >: ] >
Well obviously he has no artistic talent, imagination or creative ability of his own that he had to rip someone elses.. if it was me I would boot his sorry ass off here for good and i dont just mean his name i mean his IP address too..
I'm all for Jacqueline's idea, what a low life ! Raymond, I can't believe the complete & utter lack of moral fiber & basic ethics to STEAL someone else's dream, imagination, & hard work, ...complain about lack of comments & then have the nerve to pass it off as your own !!
When I think of all the people who try so hard at their craft, & you pull THIS stunt ?!! Go away Raymond, far far away !
Sounds like a plan to me three, Caedes, are you in ?
Ok, everyone knows that ripping other's artwork is very strongly delt with here, however I'd like to make it clear that there is so far very little evidence that this is in fact a rip of tbob's work. Untill we know if it is a rip or not I hope that everyone will maintain a cordial atmosphere toward this member. After all, if it turns out that Raymond did nothing wrong it would be embarasing to have already tarred and feathered him.
If it is found he did nothing wrong I will be the first one to apologise however i doubt it.. if you put them side by side they are identical, I cant see how 2 different people can have exactly the same creative idea, the same colour and layout etc.. but like I said, if I am wrong I won't hesitate to apologise..
And I'll be the second to apologize for my harsh words, however, I put tbob's image up on one screen & Raymond's up on the other, & they are virtually identical. The only difference that I can tell is he ( Raymond ) darkened the image somewhat.
But if, he & tbob did compose the exact same image, etc., then of course I will apologize.
