Steve's suggestions on how to leave a good comment...

Tell the artist what caught your eye, something your particularly liked or didn't like.
Tell the artist something you think they could have done differently or better.
Suggest an alternate title; it tells the artist what you saw in the image.
Interact with the artwork, continue its story.
Ask the artist how or why they did something.
If nothing else, even "Ooh, pretty!" or "Oh, ick!" is a lot more information than no comment at all.

Enjoy!

He / Him
But why "pearwood"?
For featured artists see Pearwood's feature log

I am a Christian, photographer, writer and walker, living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska. A theologically-educated geek. He/him. Supports gay/lesbian/trans/whatever folks. I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras.

I hang out in a variety of places.

DeviantArt – Joined dA in 2005. This has been my main photography site ever since. (But why “pearwood”?)
The Trek – I have started blogging for The Trek. Follow me at https://thetrek.co/author/steven-tryon.
Instagram – Started a new account in 2022 as "PearwoodOnTheTrail" for my hiking adventures.
Instagram – Originally joined in 2017 as “pearwoodphoto”. General updates.
Flickr – Joined ages ago as "pearwood". I keep it up to date.
PearwoodPhoto.com – Points back to pearwood.deviantArt.com.
Goodreads – What I’ve been reading.

I will always remember…

I will always remember that I am one finite human being, with assorted weaknesses, and that’s ok.
I will always remember that I will not live forever on this earth, and that’s ok, too.
I will always remember that Jesus loves me, and that is enough.

So what catches my eye? An eye to see beauty in the unusual or, even more, in the ordinary things of life. A portrait that reveals something unique or special of the one portrayed — or of the artist (self-portraits in particular fascinate me), or of joy, grief, and hope of life. A gaze into the eyes of the one gazing at the artist. The sheer joy of creation. A delight in the ridiculous that resides in all of us. Gracefulness of form and motion.

Life is a photo op. Take the camera.

On the other hand, I always appreciate your replies to my comments on your art and your comments on mine.
