Recently one of our members on Flickr has persuaded me to be more active on Flickr.  I had not posted anything on Flickr in several years.  Recently I have posted 7 images on Flickr.  I am interested in getting constructive feedback on my images, not just general praise.  I seem to have received some useful comments.  I do not want this to be a one-way street.  However, in looking at comments on other members' images, it appears that most of the comments are more or less "Oh wow what a great photo".  Like most photographers I enjoy those comments.  Is that what most ELCC members want on their Flickr images?  I do not want to start trying to give constructive comments that seem to be unwelcome.  A lot of the images are really outstanding.  However, I have noticed a minority of images that could be improved with better contrast and color.  Do members want to see suggestions for improvement?  Or do they just want to receive praise for praiseworthy images?

Thanks Naser.  I received some additional side comment.  I will not hesitate to try to give some constructive feedback on Flickr.
