By stating that you only comment on pictures you like, you appear to
be saying that if you don't comment, you don't like the picture - so
you are apparently commenting implicitly! Of course, this is a
fallacy, but one that many people would commit. 

In my case I comment on some photos that I like, and sometimes I don't
comment on photos that I like. Sometimes I even comment on photos I
don't like, if I think my comments can be useful. Absence of a comment
from me should never be taken to mean that I don't like the shot.

Furthermore, I may say "Nice picture, Henri!", with no further
explanation, but I would never say "Shit shot, Chim!" without some
additional reasons why.
