A lady bug. Couldn't find anything else. What a menacing creature.

Fact of the matter is that I provided insight to the OP that there is some element that I cannot identify for him that is preventing him from crystallizing his shots.

Rather than the oohs and ahhs that are preferable to many, and despite what ever occurred in the past, I thought it was important to convey this in order for this guy to improve more. Simple as that, no malice was intended when I posted my message to him.

In my closing comments to you, if think you are going to bully me into posting photos to accommodate your demands you are certainly expecting too much as your demand is unreasonable in my opinion.

Today is a new day. Time to put the past in the past and move on. I do hope that the OP is able to step back and take a deeper look at what I said and either contemplate it or discard it but do that with an open mind.

Another macro photographer on this site who does incredible work that one might want evaluate and to emulate is Orionsbyte. I think I have that spelled right. He also posts his work and galleries on Photo Radar.

how is putting new people down helping ANYBODY? The only thing worth paying any attention too is lighting... other than that you just put people down

Jeez, this thread really did turn from a molehill to a mountain! I've noticed alot of the posts on the beginner forums seem to turn in too complete circuses.

Again... you always say what I'm thinking, so I don't have to.

Why?! What are you printing to?

Is this photography, or graphic design?

It's for photography. What profile would you recommend?

Let's get something straight. I posted a well intended message and then the sh!t storm started.

You want to attack me then I have no problem dirty fighting. Others want to come out of shadows and make personal attacks and bellyache every chance they get, I have no problem going right back at them either. It's not my favorite thing to do, and I don't like to, but I will do it.

How do you know if it's a lady bug or a soy beetle?

The OP ( me) is not offended by you.
I've taken your advice into consideration. Do not think that I haven't.

It's the other stuff about you. For instance, how you'll get dirty when attacked.
You usually attack first in the event you haven't noticed.
I've noticed it. I wanted to tell you off not long ago when you told a new member she was blabbing, and to leave the forum for several weeks.
This was after she wrote an apology.

I wanted to rip you apart, and I'm very capable, but I didn't do it.
I did , however, sit back and think what a jackass you can be.
I wasn't about to be banned again, because of you. So I kept my trap shut.
It's not that your advice isn't on the mark. I knew that before I posted this image.
It's that you're mean, nasty, and low down to a lot of people, and a lot of people don't like you for that very reason.
That may be hard for you to accept, but it's true.
And I'm not saying it to hurt your feelings or to be mean and nasty........because I certainly don't ever want to take your outlook on things.
Personally, I like when critique is hard on me. It inspires me to be better. But everyone's not like me. Some of them don't take it as well as I.
Especially the beginners who feel defeated before they ever get going.
So it's not your critique. I'll also go so far as to admit, I have a bitterness toward you for some of your past actions. And then pretending to be victimized.
This of course was after you labeled me a Dope head, on a public forum which was way off base, and not even close to truth.
I'm over it, and It didn't hurt me because I knew it wasn't true. I did , however, feel slandered.
The bitterness toward you remains because of it.
I write this, rather than attacking your photography, which I could easily do, in attempt that you might see yourself one of these days.
Yes I may not live long enough, and the stars may fall from the skies as the heavens and earth collide, before this happens. But I have faith in you.
Nobody else does. But I do.
You're only goin around once Georgie. It might not be a bad idea to make a new friend or two while you can. Maybe more than one or two.
Try it. You might like it. You'd be surprised what you can learn from someone who doesn't have your knowledge base in photography.
Really.

Anyway, it's time for my afternoon mirror break. Gotta hit the weights after that. Then I'm gonna try to go shoot something with the camera.

With a personality like mine, I expect conflict. It's a simple as that. My feelings are not hurt, I am not angry and I am not sad. You have said your peace and that is fine with me.

I am however growing really wary of the complaints and references about newbies though. You did your fair share of getting yourself in trouble when you first started here for some odd reason, and that had nothing at all to do with me. It had everything to do with you. To your comment, you wrote you were on dope, you made it a central point in a post of yours.

This event last night would not have happened if the chief troublemaker and pot stirrer kept his distance and didn't go out of his way to provoke an incident. The stalking really needs to stop.

So now that all the cards are on the table and some clarifications have been made, Let's see what happens from here.
