Thanks for the compliments. I do it all for fun. Bought my Canon Rebel a couple of years ago and love it. It goes with me wherever I go. I wish I had more time to devote to it. I can't believe some of the talent on here. This is such an awesome way to expose yourself to a huge variety of techniques, and evereyone is so willing to share their secrets. One big happy family :)
Your photography is just wonderful! I like, too, your comment above...glad to see you've had a look around. We've got a diversity of styles, and we all have days that are sometimes better than others, but it's because we've come to know one another that we feel we're sharing the highs and lows. That sais, there are many many new people joining in the last month.
