The Photo Focus Photography Blog takes a look and examines how many of us actually are wasting time with our photography, and how we can cut things down to where we are having more photos that are "keepers"

I love a good portrait! I mean, who doesn't? But my fetish would have to be portraits, and so that's why I've posted up a bunch of my favourites! All different kinds, showing faces, not showing faces, having silent meanings, or just beauty in general.
Enjoy!

A picture is worth ZERO words..
`Obsidian-Fox
reports, March 5
reports, March 5Well at least according to some people here on deviantART..
I am a firm believer that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words, but a few words to lead the viewer into your frame are always appreciated.
This is especially true here on deviantART. A community of artists covering the wide range of the artistic, or professional spectrum, from beginners, to amateurs, and even some professionals.
It isn't only directed towards photography, but to all mediums displayed on this site. Writing even the bare minimum, a few sentences at least, will change the way the community appreciates what you've posted..
The biggest reason to write something in that little box, is to show the people who appreciate your work that you aren't a conceited jerk, content to let your 'fans' make what they will of your creation, It makes you approachable, and even more likable.
In my personal experience, with my own work, I find that if I leave certain details out, people will inevitably start asking the same questions.. (what lens was this shot with.. who is this band?) and that gets really annoying, having to write out the same answer multiple times..
because you know, a LOT of people don't read the other comments before making theirs..
I see a lot of people not replying to comments with these questions, which makes people think "If he/she/it* doesn't reply, why do I even leave comments.. or even watch them?"
*(damn androgynous emo shits)
On the other side of that issue, if a random passer-by stumbles on to your work, and reads a funny, interesting, or thought provoking comment on the image you just posted, they may just choose to watch you, comment, or browse through more of your gallery, instead of just faving and running.. as we all so often do..
If you are proud of your work, let us know, write something about the piece you just posted, even if its just some technical specs.
Its appreciated more than you know.
Keep these things in mind..
A concept is not always clear.
A question is easiest to answer before its asked.
If you need a visual aid, to what makes an outstanding artist comment, check out every single image in Chris Weeks' gallery

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.
Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
