sunset
Well Ray, if you told me you'd seen 15,000 stunning sunsets but you nevertheless liked mine, I'd be pleased. Conversely if you told me that what I've done has already been done, better, about 15.000 times, I'd appreciate that too.
It's true that in a setting like PhotoSig, you can't really associate the comments with a real person. Well you can to some extent, by looking at the photos that person has posted. I think it would be fun to get a photo displayed in some public place, then hang aruond (anonymously) and listen to people's reactions.
But getting honest, straight-up feedback from a photographer of real accomplishment would be a great thing. And think about published reviews of restaurants, or plays. The good reviews are boring. But a bad - really bad - review is often hilarious. Being artfully ripped up is so much more interesting than getting a polite pat on the back.
