1 (from the IWANT5! group)

Don't think there is much more to say, why is it you still want 5?
;-)

Nice reflection, and a bit creepy... wouldn't want the frog to jump at me
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

austenhaines@23hq.com says:

i really dont like frogs! Good reflection, and great thow this picture shows the surface tension of the water, and how it clings to the frog

#3 (from the IWANT5! group)

I guess I've seen this before. How many comments do you want. It's fine for what it is now move on.
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

Goldmanoz says:

@hotdogg3uk....what sorta comment is that ?
this pool only for images with little or no views....dont remember reading that in the rules..

thought the idea of groups was to share images that either could do with some constructive critisim or that you felt others could enjoy..
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

A-Wop-Bop-A-Loo-Bop! says:

#4 (from the IWANT5! group)

Goldmanoz - This a wonderful and technically good shot, but I have to concur with Hotdogg a little. Why submit a shot like this that has been viewed 780 times, and has 60+ comments already? Why not use IWANT5 for what it's really intended - to highlight pictures that haven't had the kind attention and adoration you are enjoying here with this photo?

Very first line in the introduction to IWANT5 states: "Ever have a photo with a ton of views but no comments?" - I'll leave you to make up your own mind whether your submission is going against the spirit of this group or not!!
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

Goldmanoz says:

@ a-wop-bop, have you also noticed Aprevit's "Polar Bear" has 764 views and 63 comments ?...no probs there from me, but ?
Posted 51 months ago. ( permalink )

tiny_tear says:

Goldmanoz, I think the thing with the Polar Bear is that many comments there are from deleteme, so not comments from people just finding the photo and wanting to comment for its own merit, which you do have with your photo.

As I said before, this is a great photo, but usually I see in I want 5 the unloved ones :-)
