Nope. Most who leave such votes either feel the reason is obvious or that you have already wasted too much of their time looking at it.

I've occasionally left comments with a low vote trying to explain what I disliked or how to improve, only to learn later that the photog either was shooting for brown or got exactly the effect in the photo they wanted....

I now use the politically correct term of "tactical voters".

My oops has been suggesting they may have been shooting for the brown or guessing it to be a Whiterook entry, only to get an pm from someone else asking me to explain my comment. Then they are of course, insulted.

Agreed, and when you leave a 1,2 or 3 without a comment, you probably figure the reasons for it are obvious or the poor entry has already wasted too much of your time. Usually we figure someone else has left the critique and then after rollover we find a lot of high 4 to low 5 entries that got no feedback at all. To be fair, commenting like that takes a heck of a lot of time and effort. I can either comment more and only vote my 20% on fewer challenges or give more people the possible benefit of receiving my vote.

Even Whiterook gets insulted when you guess an entry is his.... He didn't mark my last comment helpful :)

:) I KNEW it was his.. Aside from the fact that it was fair well DNMC.. And besides, I would think he'd take it as a complement, as that does seem to be the reaction he's going for.. I've seen MANY whiterook entries that simply weren't even possibly accidents..

I'm not going to be nice in my comments when I'm 97% sure the person is actually looking for abuse.

ETA: Visit his page, and you'll find proof that he isn't just a really bad photographer..

Too late, I know which comment is yours now. No hiding behind that bag.

Sometimes it becomes self-evident if one follows that forum threads - but anyway, I agree with your comment Caree - thanks for taking the time to make the comments.

Because she thinks I was mean to Whiterook.. -- Or at least that was my interpretation :)

I think it's stupid to only mark nice comments as helpful - the majority of nice comments aren't.
That said you didn't say anything useful in that comment so why should it be marked helpful... except for the complement of his processing improving I guess :)

I don't mind that it's not marked helpful, as in the end, it wasn't really meant to be.. It was just a comment.
