Thanks for your compliment on my pictures.


1.Does it make sense?

2.Instead of it, how about 'Thanks for your compliment about my pictures.'?

3.Instead of it, how about 'Thanks for your compliment for my pictures.'?

Thanks.

1. Yes.
2. It is fine.
3. It makes sense, and it is grammatical, but it is not going to be used as often as the other two. I think the reason for this is that the preposition "for" was already used earlier in the sentence, and so using it again, so close to the second "for," sounds a bit redundant.
