Well I have done it!
I have successfully completed my first year in 365. This has been a most enjoyable experience, initially I thought it would be all about the photographs but have since discovered that all the personalities that I have met throughout the year have made this much more than a picture taking experience. You actually feel like you get to know some of your followers as well as enjoying all that they contribute both in comments and their photographs and their different locations all around the world. I am really looking forward to the new year, meeting new people and continuing to enjoy my new found friends from last year. I hope to improve my photographic skills with your help and critique. I have learned so much over the past year and realize how much more I have to learn.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you for your comments and favs on my Morning Dove photo yesterday, I really appreciate it.
What a well worded commentary - matches my feeling exactly. I think snow is definitely made for b&w - this is a super shot. Looking forward to seeing more of your work - you're definitely right up my alley!
Such wonderful texturing in this shot which might have been missed in colour so good decision on the b&w, Congratulations, and so glad you are staying!
Lovely capture ... really like the shadow shape echoing the triangles in this shot. Congratulations on reaching your first year milestone. Agree with what you said too and glad you are sticking around. Looking forward to seeing more of your images! :)
CONGRATS on the completion of your project, Kathy! I have truly enjoyed viewing your photos over the past year and am so glad you're continuing on with a second project.
Congratulations on completing your first year Kathy, I'm very much enjoying my second year here and am pleased to hear you are continuing too. This is a great shot.
Congratulations lovely lady!! I have loved following you and look forward to another year of doing so! Your photos are so inspiring and amazing!! This is a lovely community and you are right it is more then just taking photos! This a great shot as well. I love the lighting and blueness makes it look and feel so cold. Great composition and perfect way to end such a great year!
Congratulations on completing Year 1, and I am glad we have found each other here!! This site is definitely addictive, both for what we get out of it in improving our photography, but also for the social aspect of it. It is so wonderful to see so many places through the different photographers' eyes. Glad you are continuing on.....I remember when I finished Year 1 I felt like I was just starting!!
