I really enjoy the opportunity MM gives people to make comments about the work of others,  modeling talents,  quality of photography, etc.   However,  I have been confused a number of times when,  especially on a model profile,  someone will complement the model on the way the image was photographed.   Usually the comment to a model is something like... "I like the way the shot is composed or I really like the angle or the shot is really creative, and the color is so good...." Or commenting about the nice contrast in the image.... or making a comment about the lighting..   Many models, most of them,  are not involved with creating composition, or angle,  or final image color,  or contrast, etc.  So, I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this.  And shouldn't those comments be rightly given to the photographer...provided their link is available ?  In all there is a good exchange of information in the commentaries and that is a good thing.

I agree with WGR,   the consistency of folks paying close attention is  pretty much related to the pattern of that individual in all their posts and comments on MM. 

WGR does have nice tits,  but I've been disappointed that the comments have been only 50  50  on mine,  and I thought I had a nice rack.

Man, I thought it was just ME getting comments telling me that I'm hot!  I can understand it at My Space, because it's open to every idiot on the planet, but here???   Geez...

And how do you respond to those??? "Uh, thanks...I guess?"

If that's what you're being told you might want to consider a gym membership, LOL.

I think that those people are commenting on the aspect of the photo that they like the best regardless of on what portfolio (model or photographer) they found it at. I have to say that I am guilty of that.

When I showed up with my sports bra and the gut hanging out they told me never to come back.. something about scaring the children and making the other members think that there was no hope for them either. ;o)

You look so hot and sexy in your avi... oh wait... that's NOT you ::chuckles::

Yep yep that happens. Yes comments should be directed towards the right thing. Some people just don't know what to say or can't really see the method behind the madness!

I agree I do and say the same thing to the photg and model on the image

because, believe it or not, there are SOME  models who actualy know what ure talkin about and want a comment which is more than "nice boobies" "or u make me drool and quiver"

grrrrrrrrrrr
