From an artist's point of view, you want to share your work and yes, you are most likely to take pride and would like to know that people appreciate it. You would also be curious to see what people's response are to it, many artists prefer constructive criticism whether they agree or disagree with it. At the same time, it would be great to have comfort in praising you work.. who wouldn't?!
From Viewer's point of view.... though it's a thread, you don't necessarily think about responding when you're looking at artwork, number of views in this case is probably more important than number of replies, despite the fact that this is a thread that should get replies. Like most people say, you tend to respond if you have something really worth saying, sometimes other people have summed it up, or you have a point that hasn't been mentioned before. Unless it has some sort of question behind the artwork, you need catalyst for replying alot!
