Don't lock it all up and quit. Some of us who are newer to this are still learning from you. Life has been busy lately and haven't been commenting as much. That doesn't mean that I and people like me don't appreciate your work. Don't always know what to say because "great photo" seems so trite with work on a level such as yours... besides, it can't be all about popularity. Even as good as you are, surely you're learning things as you do this? Hoping I didn't offend. Selfishly I hope you don't quit.
Ed, you've been doing this for a while and probably need a break. One to let your mind rest. Take a respit. I bet though, you will still find things to photograph. ;-)
@edpartridge Ed, I have not seen your work before, but I like it now that I have. Maybe the problem can be that you are not following many yourself. People tend to follow ones that follow them. Not sure,,,just saying. I don't have many followers now either. But I am not following as much either.
Tomorrow is photo 500, might quit then.
