In one of Mr Sharp's photo postings both he and Scott remarked about the dearth of comments.
I thought I would have a look at that.
First off I'd say a lot of non-members are viewing the photos and therefore no comment.
Second, at last count there were 1183 members. If you have a look at the total posts by each member you'll find that 600 or so have never posted and another 300 or so have posted less than 5 times. Of the last 300 I would say that only 100 or so are active members. Of these 100 there are some who are active in other sub-forums but not the photo sub-forum. There are a some who only comment on certain people's posts regardless of photo quality. There's even a few who post their photos but rarely if ever comment on others.
Lastly, the ones that are left are members like me.
I view all photo posts, but how often can I post 'Great Photo!' or 'Nice Shot!'? (Of course not all photos, including my own, are stellar shots and therefore do not warrant a 'Great Photo!' or 'Nice Shot!')
To conclude, as long as you are happy with the shot that's all that really matters.
So Post Away! And know that we look and enjoy, but not necessarily comment.

Just wanted to add that I very seldom comment on photos But I look at them all and thoroughly enjoy pretty much all photos posted.

Yep......I'm in the same boat.
I do look at most of the pictures (though.....not the links)
I seldom comment but I am in awe of some of the photos taken by most of you.
There is a handful of some true artists on this board.
This is my official blanket appreciation post for all the great shots........ :wink:

I look at most of them too, but usually only comment on the ones that truly blow me away.
Mostly I just think, "Wow, I really need to get Rob a better lens!" :P

I agree fully with John's post here. And I commend you for your mathematical skills.
The photo corner and comments thing; sure it's great to get lots of comments on how great our picture(s) are. Speaking for myself, taking many pics, and the occasional one is fantastic in my opinion; but how many pics can I share of the same bird(s) that everybody else is seeing and posting. Sure I take more s**t shots than anything but who needs to see/hear about them? LOL!
I like to share my pics, but am being more selective. I don't want to put a photo up just because. I like my photo to have a story behind it. And with that, the clarity of the shot is not as important to me. But that is just me. Great if people love and comment, if not, I still like it, and that's all that matters.
I enjoy looking at all the photos shared on the board. I am happy to see what others are seeing.
