Well, you could put the expressions of approval on the talk page or below
the file. I think putting them below the file (on the file description page)
is more obvious, personally.

If you're asking whether clicking edit, typing "* I like this photo.
--~~~~", and saving the page is easier or better user interface than having
a button that does it for you automatically, it seems fairly clear which is
superior. It isn't even really a close contest.

There's nothing wrong with expressing approval for creativity and there's
nothing wrong with making it less painful for users to do so.
