Feedback
 

Do you get kinda miffed when nobody has anything to say about a photo you posted?

Personally, I dont care
I love Joes, I love taking pix, its not a contest :cool:

It doesn't bother me at all. I do think this is funny, I'll post two pics. One I think is awesome, and the other is ok. The one that's ok gets more replies. Either way it's still fun and I enjoy it.

BT, that happens to me, too. As Don said, it's not a contest, and although it's nice to hear what people think of your pics, that's not the reason I post 'em. I just love taking, and looking at Joe pics. As I said in one of the other topics, seeing other peoples cool work makes me want to do better at mine. :)

FYI ~ Craig, you post pix in bunches
and as I am scrolling thru them I am thinking to myself WOW this is awesome
then I click on the next one and its even better or its different that I tend to
forget to leave feedback on the first few!! :rolleyes:

I try always look for two things. A positive view and a negative. I try always make a negative view turn into a tip for the picture's owner. I try to let at least one coment on all the pictures. I think it's somekind of motivation.

I agree completely it's not a contest. That's the one thing I like about this site everyone comments on how cool a picture looks. I try to make it a habit of commenting on pics when I see them, however I do miss some.

I'm kinda undecided about this. It's nice to have the feedback but sometimes when there's a whole bunch at once, I don't feel like replying to each and every one of them. A lot of times I fall under the "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all." Most of the time when there's silence, I just assume people think "Eh".

You guys know there IS a rating system right? You can rate the image on a scale of 1-5. While that's cool and all, Hammerfel set it up so it's Terrible-Bad-Average-Good-Excellent. Being the guy I am, I'd feel bad rating ANYBODY'S pics 1 or 2 blocks, y'know?

I totally agree with competing. I must be out of the loop...what contest?

As for getting upset about not receiving feedback for a photo... It's not worth it to get bent out shape for. Not every photo is to be liked by everyone. For myself personally, I'm honest and if it's not to my nature of taste, I don't comment. Feedback is great and if I can extend contructive criticism or praise, I gladly do so.

I like this site because it's unique for fans to be artistic and creative with the camera, toys, and other techniques to create dioramas, hence the name. I would hope to think collection type pics would be more appropriately posted on regular forum board sites.

Lastly, you should create adventures, take pictures and tweak them for your own enjoyment, not the community. I do, so it doesn't bother me if others don't like my style or whatever. :cool:

Just my takes..

It's good that everyone seems to feel pretty much the same. It's enjoyable to be able to offer praise on someone's work, but I can never bring myself to be critical of a pic, because I know that none of my pics are perfect. People who live in glass houses, if you know what I mean. I would love to leave feedback on every pic, but sometimes I just don't have time to look at them all, especially as I am only on dial-up.

So I guess you don't have your parameter set up to 90 images per page, Outrider? lol.
