Image notes
editHi, welcome to Commons :-) Just a note about image notes, they are really for adding information about a particular feature of the image, so we draw a box around the area and describe the point of note, adding some information content not immediately apparent otherwise. A better place to discuss the image would either be on its talk page, or with its author. It's not quite like flickr etc where personal comments about the image are the normal thing. Don't be surprised if people remove the comments, its not personal :-). Hope that helps! --Tony Wills (talk) 08:01, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Places to discuss photographs
editRather than adding image annotations/notes, why don't you participate in Commons:Featured_picture_candidates, Commons:Valued_image_candidates, or Commons:Quality_images_candidates where you can discuss the merits of each photo? :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 01:57, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
