LOL. I know you do. If you notice, I only comment when something really stands out and excels, IMO. Granted, it is subjective. So I will say this and then duck from the grenades... My comments, when given, are sincere praise for an image(s) that move me in some way, images that are exceptional. I try to use the same evaluation standard for my own work.
