Giving & Receiving Comments

posted on 8th of may, 2012

Isn't it a great feeling when someone takes the time to write a helpful, supportive or event positive yet critical comment on an image you've taken? Not only does it generate a nice warm feeling that someone has taken the time to comment but also provides useful feedback to the photographer.

Although I haven't received too many comments on images I know how great it can be when I do get it and will undertake to post a comment on 3 or more images every week in an effort to spread a little cheer to other photographers.

	Posted by Celiaak on May 11, 2012 YEs, it is. I also do love to receive comments and criticism. It helps to learn and judge my work on fresh eyes, to see what I have not seen.
	Posted by Egomezta on May 09, 2012 I totally agree with you, I usually take the time to write at the blogs, right now I have 3207 comments so far.
	Posted by Mark6138 on May 09, 2012 I agree that giving critical feedback can be received negatively. I was really thinking about positive comments. I see a lot of images on DT that I like but have rarely taken the time to tell the photographer that I like their image. I am trying to change that one comment at a time!
	Posted by Parkinsonsniper on May 09, 2012 As Miraclemoments says, not everyone can handle a critique, even if it is constructive and written in a positive manner. I think this is a very very useful blog, because it spreads very positive vibrations! I have a suggestion for every critique-lover. There is a forum thread HERE. Maybe you should pay a visit...there you will find a very friendly environment with lots of constructive critique :)
	Posted by Miraclemoments on May 09, 2012 Agreed....problem I have seen before though is that some people just can't take the criticism. I for one appreciate it. I had a person comment on some of my sheep images and it made me look at contrast in images again.
	Posted by Alvera on May 09, 2012 I am so happy when I found people thinking like you.
	Posted by Leahmae on May 08, 2012 great idea - gonna do the same - everyone needs a little surprise motivation!
	Posted by Cammeraydave on May 08, 2012 Very True and well said.
	Posted by Androniques on May 08, 2012 Yep, one place to do so is here :-)
	Posted by Mark6138 on May 08, 2012 No problem with the English Andrew. I couldn't agree more. DT is definately a community.
	Posted by Andrews71 on May 08, 2012 Yes Mark, I totally agree with you. It should be a "must" because we are a photographer community that often try to do own best to grow up and hoping that own work has been appreciated before sold (sorry for my english!)
