. Don't lose your self confidence!!

DA Can be a tough place to get recognition. There are tons of photos in my gallery that have no comments at all, or maybe 1 or 2 comments. Especially my first two pages of photographs.

I think keywords play a lot into how much your photo gets seen. Put in as many keywords describing the picture as possible.

Also, I think you should not discourage critiquing. Not that I'm telling you what to do, but critique is how we grow and better our art. A good critique is not putting your work down or dragging it through the mud. And it's also not an insult to you or your ability. But a suggestion or advice on how to make things better. For every 1 sincere critique, there are 10 others just trying to be assholes and making your life miserable. It's sad that there are many people like that, but it's the truth.

If you start to believe your work is bad, it will be.

My goal aren't many comments, that's why I discourage critiquing. I just wish to get more favorites.
But thanks so much for this kind words. It means a lot when someone actually reads my journal and tries to help me. Really nice of you.

Yeah, but it is still nice to have someone tell you how good your work is .
