I've always believed that a compliment (as much or as little as you may agree with it) should just be accepted with a thank you.

Yes, I agree...sometimes I get overwhelmed by certain comments... either because I find them disproportional to the quality achieved or because they reflect exactly what was behind the intention and leaves me speechless... here goes my deepest and gracious thank you and apologies for the delayed response: http://75.co.za/up/2013/03/14
it's my pleasure Uno...And congrats on the exhibition. Nice to have analogue photography represented.
With reference to the first point you made about being oevrwhelmed by certain compliments, sometimes a comment seems disproportional because one is not always knowing of their good work, or how well they resonate to others.
It is these particular instances that a mere 'thank you' is all that is needed. Sometimes even silence is enough. It's just... it can make one feel insulted to give a compliment and to have it thrown back by making it feel like it wasn't given sincerely.
Contrary to popular belief, compliments are not that easy to give. As I suppose they are not always easy to accept.
@ sweetoof: True. What happened with your photos?
always --i think thats is the same with critique --- its all leraning, the diverse world views people walk around is droplets of wisdom, something we can think about ourselves ---
so cpmpliment and critique BRING it ON
Sometimes a compliment is harder to accept than criticism...
