do what I do

Look at the pic - comment without looking at what others have said...

other people's comments will influence what you look at - and may even stop you looking at the photo with an open mind.

hang on...

if you're commenting and not reading the existing comments, how can you end up not saying anything at all.... you've already commented?

Repetition of the same points in this game is positive - it reinforces the point... if 10 people say the same thing, then its probably a good/bad point. If just one says it, their either very insightful, or may have a dodgy monitor

so the more repetition you get the more accurate the assessment.

Quote: I am finding difficult to not repeat the things that might have already been said on some of the images.......And I don't want to really be seen as being plageriaristic in my comments......

The way I've done it is view the pic, right click on the add comment and open in a new window, have pic up in one window and comment box in other, make comments, and then look at what others have said after I've made my six points. That way there's no influence on anything.

Quote: Lol I've only just read the rule that you have to comment without looking at what others have said.

it's not really a rule, more a guide...

if you look at the existing comments they will draw your attention to those flaws and muddy your judgement

have fun - you may struggle to find 3 of each, but that's yin yang

nice on Bloggs

try this....

don't look at other people's comments at all

you can open 2 browsers - one with the photo showing, the other with the comment box... you have to quickly scroll down to the comment box so you don't read what's there.

Advantages...

your view is un-influenced
you comment how you would normally do
if a flaw comes up many times, the photo owner gets the point reinforced.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, all you need to do is 3 bullet points each of what you like & don't like about an image. OK, with a "fantastic photographer" submit you may struggle with 3 "don't likes" but even they don't make the "perfect " photograph.
Go for it!
