I think I have an answer now. The first statement is a little strange as it's too specific to be useful but in essence I'll take it to be what I was promoting, a comment directed at helping the artist improve their skills for future use. The second one is not helping a person learn to dress any better (it's actually a lot like just saying "nice art"), so it's not improving a skill, and a person isn't wearing clothes to put them out there. Although clothes are a reflection of a person they are also a necessity whereas posting artwork where everyone can see it is not a requirement for anyone. Furthermore the whistling is seldom directed at the way a person is dressed for any sort of objective reason but to express desire, some would say inappropriately, towards the person.
So they differ both between what the intention is, helping someone improve a skill vs expressing appreciation/desire, and at what they are directed, the piece of art or the person.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
