Answering to Scott. You are totally right. I do tend to skip the photos that don't spur any emotion in me. An I do not retaliate!

Answering to Carol. I understand what you are saying but still I would always prefer a comment even if it wasn't very positive. I have posted a couple of shots that I taught very good and that others have not liked and one time only the person explained why and I understood his point of view. We can only grow if we get critisized sometimes. I'm not out for revenge, when I myself leave a somewhat negative comment I explain why (Technique? focus? lighting? Choice of subject? Cropping? Or If I don't get it all what the photographer is trying to show us, make us feel??)

Thank you to all that have answered me! You have given me an other way to see things... Maybe I am just too new to Photo.net. I for my part tend to leave comments especially when I do rated a photo on the downside 4 and less. I do so because I put myself in the position of the receiver and think that in leaving a comment, positive or negative will bring a least a justification to my point of view, thus probably helping in a sort a way the person who will read it. I did not right this to actually complain... And all your different views have broaden my perspective. I still do ask myself when I receive a negative mark...But I live with it. I'm not here to compete, But i'm here for comments.

Hello I would like to know why you permit people that haven't posted

any images to rate others who have. I find it strange That usually

people who give you bad ratings don't explain why? If we do not know

what they dislike, how are we suppose to improve our skills and

better ourselve.
