I will endevor to go through the galleries of all in this thread during the day today and comment and vote. I see this as an opportunity to see the work of those that I would not have otherwise seen. If I see something I like, I will comment and vote.

I find it interesting what evokes votes and comments. I had a gallery that saw little or no activity for a couple of years and I changed the representative thumbnail the other day. The gallery is now on page 5 of the 7 day popular galleries list and I don't think the gallery is that good.

Great idea. I will do as often as I can

I have learnt a lot about different styles, compositions and subjects from visits to many galleries. I enjoy the opportunity to followlnks to similar images done in a differnet style.

As a toastmasters (public speaking hobby) we learn to evaluate speeches, not criticise them. As a guide two praise points and a point for improvement. The point for improvement is given because in your opinion if would work better when you did whatever the improvement is.

I welcome good priase and the opportunity to improve. I reserve the right to dissagree with any point of improvement however, but still welcome the dialogue.

Its a fine line to give encouraging points for improvement. You can also learn far more from that than a simple "great photo", "excellent composition" etc.

Best rule is to comment as the photo affects you and how you might have taken it. The comment is then just a personal opinion, one that at least promotes further experimenting/improvement.

Make the comments worthwhile or don't write anything.

regards Barry

ps I would always try to reply and have a look at anyone's galleries of those interested enough to visit my galleries, but I prefer not to make promises I may not be able to keep regarding exact numbers.

As everyone else has said... SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.

I love to hear what eveyone else thinks of my work. Each time someone leaves a comments, I get this feeling of satisfaction. Call me crazy but the first thing I check when I open up my web browswer is to see if anyone has left comments on my pictures and my hit count, who was looking at what.

I will try to get through everyones galleries sometime down the road. At times I don't get to spend much time on the nternet while at other ties, that is all I do in the evening. I'll try my best.

Here are my galleries: http://www.pbase.com/a_zeitler

I have been following the discussions with interest on this forum, only been on pbse a couple of months and with no "real" experience, I am rather like a young puppy eager to learn from everyone who wishes to advise me.

Casting the problem of "popularity" and "votes" aside, my ral interest is exchange of ideas, what makes various photographers want to take a picture at that precise moment, and to wonder at the techniques that some you you out there have got to convey the impresion they want!

May be, it would be good, if a constructive, technical comment on a particular image could be posted on this forum rather than on the person's gallery so that more people could benefit and discuss... That is if it doesn't hurt anybody's feelings, of course.

Always nice to get real feedback and constructive criticism from other Pbasers on our photographic postings.

Bring it on!
