it seems to me that the conclusion here as to why people don't leave feedback is primarily down to their own confidence or lack of experience ..... this is crazy, every one has an opinion to whether they like something or not, some people love van gogh's, others hate his work...whether a so called art expert or some average person in the street, we all have an opinion. i went to art college and i can honestly state that a lot of so called art experts dont know anything, they just follow each other and what historians tell them. i don't believe that you even have to have a good knowledge of photographic techniques to have a great picture or an opinion ...i think photography can sometimes dissapear up its own behind due to the technical side of it all ... we worry so much about pin sharp, correctly exposed pics that we fail to see the merit in the image even in its naive state.
a, "nice pic" comment is fine or a "dont like this much" is better than no comment at all. i doubt there is a single person who comes in this room who doesnt doubt their ability to give an opinion ..... every picture should be pushing the limits or areas where you have not been before, so i guess we are always beginners in this thing aren't we?
