Your awesome comment and all of your other comments deserve recognition!

Weekly Commenting Project
If you would like to go the extra step, consider signing up for our Weekly Commenting Project. As a thank you from us for your efforts, we submit your pieces into our Gallery for constructive comments.
Congratulations to KokoKiero for being March's most active constructive commenter!
Our collaboration with GiveALlamaGetALlama concerning a giveaway, and dAhub concerning an art creation contest, are both things to look out for! Lots of great prizes to be won there.
Our Super Group status will run out at the end of this month, but no worries there! We will continue to function as we always have. 
If you usually discuss technical aspects of an artwork, consider touching upon the more abstract aspects, for example, feelings, thoughts, memories and more! Or, consider touching upon the more conceptual aspects of a piece in terms of what an artist wishes to convey through the concept, what the artwork may mean, etc. If you do this already, have you considered applying analysis or research? Perhaps you could evaluate a piece of work through a different perspective! The ways to approach commenting are manifold indeed.
We would like to thank everyone who has given a constructive comment in the past month. It takes time, effort and more, but every constructive comment you make helps a member of DeviantArt, a fellow artist who may or may not be in a similar position to you. We hope that the artist will pass on the kindness and give a constructive comment to another member. Without your comment, we may not be able to hope at all.
If you have any questions, suggestions, thoughts, opinions, etc. about anything related to ProjectComment, contact us and let us know! Send us a note and we will respond!

Benjamins Valentine's DayA boy runs through endless halls and past infinite lockers. He sprints around corners, dodges students, and weaves around groups. He runs and runs, till he reaches a locker. In a flash he slips a piece of paper into the locker and runs away. Running. Running. Crying. Will he ever stop running? Did she even care about him? Why would she, he was weak and small. Running. He couldn’t tell her the truth. Running. He couldn’t admit his feelings to her. Crying.
-------------------
Benjamin woke up in a hurry. He could not believe that he had another nightmare. About high school. In college. He tried to calm down, breathing in and out to calm down his racing heart. After a few moments he sighed and looked through his old phone for updates on his classes. It was only 7am, but he didn’t care. He just wanted to finish his day.
He got up, and walked over to the small closet in his dorm room. The sunlight only just waking up within his room as he changed into his usual soli
The Man and The TreeOnce upon a time, as all of these stories go. There once was a kind and caring man, who loved the birds and the trees, and branches swinging in the breeze. He would often travel through the woods by his town, relaxing after a long day of fixing and building, adding homes and raising hopes. To him, the forest was his retreat, and the animals and plants in it were almost like family to him.
One day, he was walking in the forest. When he came across a wide clearing, with a single tree in its center. Out of all of the trees, it looked like it was the only one that could support a house, the rest looked too weak for anything else. Upon the ground, crying aloud, lay a small family of birds. Their nest was ruined, and they cried. The man took pity, and hurried back to make the birds a home. When he returned, he began to make a birdhouse, on a long pole, as the sky started to turn dark and stormy. Luckily, he had finished just in time, as the first drops of rain fell on the birds small wings.
300 MiceIt started off just like any other day at my job at the pet store. The sun shined down on the cleared windows, and the animals were making their usual meows, barks, and chirps. I had just finished feeding the last of the 300 mice inside of the large cage, right next to the front entrance, when Mr. Kupheart came in. “Good job Dan!” he smiled. “I know the store will be in good hands while I’m on my vacation.” Mr. Kupheart had recently booked a 10 day holiday with his wife for vacation, it would be their 1 year anniversary. “Thank you sir!” I smiled back. “And I won’t let you down while you’re away!” “Good man!” and with that, he grabbed his hat and his suitcase. “See you in 10 days! Good luck Dan!” and he left the door, and within the minuet he was already down the road.
Sadly, I can literally say that it wasn’t even five whole minutes before something bad had happened, as my friend arrived a

March - What to Expect?

Magic Week - Reverse Caption
The power flowed into him, filling his lungs, spreading out in his blood like oxygen, and settling into the marrow of his bones. He felt himself smile in a way that he hadn't since he was a boy learning to cast his first spell. He had devoted decades to the study of magic, but now, now he was magic. A glow lit the trees around him. He couldn't be sure if it was the setting sun, or if the glow came from his own skin. A beetle crawled on the ground nearby, seemingly unconcerned with what it had just witnessed, but yet its movements were in time with his heartbeat. A bird in the sky flapped its wings to the same rhythm. A breeze plucked at his hair and clothes. He began to dance, slowly at first; he followed the wind, and the wind followed him. He moved faster, twirling and leaping, until even the fallen leaves were dancing around him. When he stopped, all was still. He smiled again, and raised his arms to the sky. The first stars were visible. He watched them for a long
