I was recently sent an angry private message on facebook telling me not to comment on his images.
I was invited to "Like" this guy's photography page and one of his images caught my eye. It was a BW portrait of a semi nude girl. It was side lit with one off camera speed light. However, he had a bit of light spillage in the background and the image did not have a clean dark background which is what I believe he was trying to achieve. There was a reflection off a wall or background object that left a visible horizontal line going across the image and intersecting the models head.
I commented on the image complementing him and mentioning that I thought this particular image was the strongest of the set. Since he is a beginner photographer I thought I would offer some support and point out what I mentioned above, since it's an easy fix.
A few moments later my comment was removed and I got an angry PM saying not to offer CC if it is not asked for and that he would never ask for CC on an open page.
So it got me thinking to what exactly are the ethics of CC? Why invite me to Like your page if you don't want me to say anything?
