welll why indeed...

first: i see that the shots i upload that really (and i mean "really") contain more than "just another photograph" are dismissed and not considered "worth" a fave are piling up.
(I encourage you, and i mean YOU, to write me a subjectively comment to tell me why you are not interested in it! after all, you are watching me! why!?)

well all this is piling up and i am not sure if dA is worth the buzz it was all about...
when i started here this was not a second myspace nor a second facebook, so i was used to get some decent comments (no, "i do like this band" is not considered as decent), feedback or whatever you want to call it; as well as i saw artists showing off their work, not some fuckdolls in little to no clothing showing off their private parts as "art", nor people who are used to share their recent MSPaint doodles.

its easy to rant about all this but i mean it.
why should i work with dA when everything that most people care about are big names and/or tits!?

sincerely A:S:N

Hi Nekro! I think that it's well deserved to have a break here. I have done it myself, because I wasn't getting the feedback I expected either. I think that in the meanwhile the number of member here have increased to a point, that people just look quick through the works. It can also be that a lot of people is now busy with other social medias, such as FB. I haven't been much here for you as I am working hard on my book and I am sorry for that, because I have been seeing your work for a long time, and you're exceeding yourself, getting better and better for each shot! ;)

But, yes, take a break, try other more pro communities for photography. :) May give you an interesting experience. :) Cheers!

Don't take things too seriously.

Artistic value and "success" are completely different. Plus don't forget you're in a specific niche which makes it all the more difficult to get comments. As you've noticed, selfs taken pics of boobs will get tons of comments on how great and artistic they are while you will hardly get one comment. That's the way it is but at least the comments you will get will be more interesting...

You've been lucky enough to have been part of some great concerts, you enjoy yourself taking pics and at the end of the day when your computer is off that's what really matters.

Oh, I hope I don't seem aggressive as it's not my intent at all. Just save your energy.

Yeah, a nice point here! I have also much less response on my work here than I have in other "pro" communities. So, maybe the problem is DA itself ;)

hehehe ja ich lebe noch, mein freund!!und wie!! und es freut mich zu sehen das du es auch tust ;)

und es freut mich noch mehr, dass die paar trendnutten die es hier gibt, deinen kampfgeist nicht gekillt haben! deine pics sind und bleiben große klasse! ich hoffe das weißt du....

und zu einem echten künstler macht dich, dass du nicht auf favs scharf bist, sondern dich weiterentwickeln willst! und da trag ich denk ich nicht zu dick auf! :)

ich als foto-laie kann dir eh nur einen tip geben: mach weiter so wie bisher und scheu dich nicht davor, experimente einzugehen! alles andere ist nur eine frage der zeit compadre :horns:

Your photos are great!! I enjoy looking at them but most of the time i've never heard of these bands.:(

Being popular on DA has nothing to do with talent, you need to be here a lot and upload a lot to get noticed. You have to work at making people take notice of you,be loud, make lots of comments on stuff. Just joining groups isn't enough to get noticed, you may just get buried under everyone else.

You have to decide if it's worth being here, if it's worth talking to people and making contacts. It's kind of like a game,once you're in the game it gets easier to get seen.:D
