I recently made a folder for photography I favorite on DA. There are just so many incredible pictures on this site.

These are pictures I go back to and admire regularly. They're not just random spam favorites. Each and every one in that folder is a right work of art and deserves to be viewed over and over again. Same with all my favorites.

I usually leave a small comment like: That's beautiful.

My longer comments are more of the rant variety and go to deviations on certain subjects.

I also recently subscribed to the HDR-Club, which seems to be both a blessing and a curse. There are so many unbelievably lovely pictures with each and every deviation they send out.

Just look at this and NOT fall in love at least once: [link]

It's kind of hard when there are so many talented individuals sharing their work.

I end up faving a bunch at a time and have stopped commenting so much, because it feels so...insincere now. I'm perfectly genuine about each one being lovely, but I just don't have anything of substance to add to the page.

I don't know what to add. I'm not very good with complements, I tend to stumble over my words and make them seem trivial. And while a simple ‘beautiful’ may just be up another’s alley, doing it several times over in a few minutes does wear on my own conscience.

So if you're one of the deviants that have gotten a fav without a comment, I came upon those pictures and faved them not because of a passing fancy but because I don't want to forget them.
