I did look at this yesterday, at which point there were no comments or likes. I thought I'd return at a later time to see if others had added anything.
I can see what attracted you - the sheen from the arched roof is the nicest part but then the eye moves downward - but unfortunately it doesn't really go anywhere after that. It needs a stronger focal point in the distance or a dog or something on the grass. I won't be liking it as such as I don't think it really works but thought I'd explain how I see it, especially in view of others having not said anything. Hope this helps, Ann. |

Thanks, Tim - I appreciate your comment. I don't just post images so that they can be 'liked' (nice though that is!) - I value feedback. I posted it on blip with a border which seemed to help it considerably but basically I agree with you - it's crying out for a feature on that grass (which is why I cropped off the rest of the image - all grass but little else). I posted it to see what others thought. Do always feel free to offer constructive criticism. |

What I like about this site, compared to Blip, is that you don't have to post up daily, or at any regular intervals - indeed, some just pop by when it suits them, so you won't feel the need to post something that might not work. The act of 'liking' is also an endorsement, or an appreciation of. Either you, your work, or both. No one seriously liked my image of rows of camera boxes on shelves, today, surely, but what it represented and the pleasure that I will get and how they will benefit too from the lens' use. I would have been rather embarrassed if it had made the most Popular page! (11 likes is borderline) I guess you know what I mean (I'm meandering) and of course it is up to you - like Blip, it's your page to fill as you see fit, but many might not be able to work out why they find an image unengaging, let alone how to express it, so I didn't want you to feel that we were ignoring you or your work. |

That's very good of you, Tim, to explain your thoughts. For the most part, I am likely to post only images that I really like but, just occasionally, I might just think try it and see. This was one of those times. The response confirmed what I fundamentally thought myself. Unlike you, I don't really have a following here, so know that my images will receive only limited attention, whatever I post. |

My following has taken time to build up, in much the same way as I did with Blip. But here, people respond more to eyecatching thumbnails that they see floating around, either in links or in comment or gallery areas. So, naturally, weaker images just don't get the look-in. Folk have their favourite contributors but other images are all around, vying for attention, which I think is better. Today, I found some amazing mono work by someone who only got 7 likes. Me endorsing it by liking brings that to a wider audience and so on. This site really can nurture talent. Good work can genuinely be rewarded - I've had 10,300 likes, not because I'm Italian or knew anyone on the site - or, apart from you, still don't!! |

I can see how that would work and, in time, I may invest more of myself in this site but I am now well established on Blip - not so very far off a year now - and have even met a few folk, so most of my energy is channelled there. Time permitting, I would like to become more involved here, too. We'll see. I appreciated the boost your comments and likes bring to my images - thank you! |

I have to admit that it wasn't until I could respond more to those who liked and commented on mine on here, after leaving Blip (it was apprx 90% there, 10% here, before I finally switched) that I came to be viewed and appreciated by more, which is understandable and human too, of course. I had that same passion and drive you have on Blip now, which was very much the right thing to do. But as you know by now, I was not after making buddies who I might meet up with and discuss their everyday lives but the taking of, sharing and enjoying the art of good photography. Here endeth the sermon from Timk2! Sleep well, Ann |

I didn't set out to make friends and meet people either - it was all about the photography initially - but friendships just happened and I've come to value the people as well as the photography. People need to be valued. As I'm sure you know. 'Night, Tim! :)
PS I enjoyed reading your sermon! |

People make the photographs, not the cameras. On that note, "see you" tomorrow! |
