I generally have withheld comment on pictures that have not appealed to me unless the poster specifically asked for advice, critiques, or comments.

The reason I have done this is that my general impression is that most of the members of this forum are pretty happy with the pictures that they are taking and that they post here. Most will concede that they are on a road of continuing improvement, but for the most part they are pleased to share their current level of attainment for the enjoyment of the other forum members.

So, if I see a job particularly well done, I usually try to give a big thumbs up. If I am familiar with the poster and am seeing growth and increased mastery, I give two thumbs up and a pat on the back.

The other area where I leave positive comments is when a person invests in new hardware (lens or camera) and the results show that the investment was a good one. How good to reinforce the rewards for a purchase well made.
