Just wonderin' This is not about anybody in particular although my other thread made me want to ask this question.
(Update) I should have added this as a choice but it's too late now..
" I really don't see what people are talking about when they comment" "I think it's fine"

I don't know if how I feel about it is in the list above. Sometimes when I don't get any votes on the first day, I will edite the entry, to improve on it. And other times I get hints and tips from people and I look at the image and think take the tips and remember them for later in another chop.
And, when I am lucky, like I am at the moment, somebody who knows more about psc tells me they will give me a quick lesson on how to do something totally new. And that will help me understand the layer files from people like ReyRey ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) much better.
I am in it to learn!! And getting votes is a big plus, but comments and tips are much cooler.
Did you have that one in the list?

If someone points something out to me (especially if it is a difficult improvement and can walk me through it) I'll do my best to change it. I don't always have time to, though.
I have changed a couple entries. I wasn't worried about the votes. If it is truly an improvement, the general public would notice and bring you right back up anyway.
I like to see votes, esp lots of them. It is good for the ego, but I am here to learn and improve for the most part. Practicing on images that I won't get yelled at for "borrowing" off a friend's website and the like is a HUGE bonus... Plus the variety of sources is so great, too.

Well, if I have time and inclination, I edit. Sometimes I just take what is said under advisement for future chops.
Votes are nice - they make you feel like you created something that someone is enjoying - but I don't get all worked up about them. I mean, sometimes my stuff plain old sucks no matter how much time I put into it, and NOT getting votes makes me go back and figure out why on my own. It forces you to look at your work the way others see it, which alone will help you to improve.
Who hasn't gotten 1 vote for a 15-hour chop, or even more perplexing, a bunch of votes for a quickie chop and then stood there scratching their head? The votes aren't about the amount of work you put in but the results you get.

How dare they tell me what to do. Who do they think they are.
Rey˛, would you double-check the spelling of the thread title? And if you find anything in error - would you change it?

I used to get VERY VERY mad thinking this person or that persons trying to kill my momentum. Now I know most here are here to help, and not to hinder me. I normally will take the suggestions and at least try them. If I like the result, I will update my entry. If I don't agree, or don't know how to go about it then I will say so.
As soon as I stopped caring about my votes, and started paying more attention to details... Thats ironically when the votes started pouring in
My advice when working on an entry for PSC... Don't just get it done quickly so you're one of the first 12. Quality entries will always rise to the top no matter where you are in the field. So finish up your entry per usual, then put it down for a bit. Either for a few hours or a day. Then open it back up, and ask yourself, what else can I do to make this better? This way you'll also see anything you may have missed... Because we all know we all think 'my entry was perfect!' ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)

See - total lack of criticism through the years.
Oh, wait - this was Rey˛'s other forum thread.
I'm confused.
