I imagine there are those who comment largely to allay the poster's possibly experiencing self doubt as a result of the image receiving few if any responses. They may feel innocuous to be preferable to dismissal. Jack

It seems to me that the comments have been rather polite and non-critical of late. Six or nine months ago, I received some detailed and pointed constructive criticisms on a number of images, but that hasn't been the case for the last few months. As a result, I find myself posting fewer images now, because I now longer anticipate being told what are the weaknesses of the posted images.
