Hi Rick - in defense of those of us who just drop pictures in and don't comment much on others, I would argue a significant portion of us don't feel we have a lot to add. I suppose there's definitely no harm in only posting praise, but it's the feedback from people like yourself that make this forum really worthwhile.
I'm always very grateful for the help I get on here, and although the finishing touches are a personal choice, I'd say the other 90% of the processing workflow would be pretty consistent across the guys who are really good at this.
Having said that, on the few images I've posted in here that have attracted positive feedback, it does feel nice to have the effort acknowledged, and I guess even the greats like to hear that too!
Cheers
Andrew.

That's human nature. If you've built a relationship with someone by offering comments and help in the past then they'll be more inclined to reciprocate. The folks that get a lot of comments are typically the ones who actively comment on images by others. I try to comment if I have something helpful to say or if an image is especially good. I'm less likely to comment on images by folks that just lob in and post pictures but don't participate in the forum otherwise.
Most people wouldn't consider what was clearly intended as a helpful comment from a guy who has APODs coming out of his ears as bullying, Glen. It's nothing to do with some imaginary "imaging standard model". It's a simple matter of aesthetics. Many of us don't find images that are predominately green (or any other colour) attractive. If you do, that's fine, but don't be surprised if there are people who don't share your view.
Cheers,
Rick.
