Quite Possibly My Last Photo Submission on TPF

kundalini · Mar 25, 2009

..... excluding Fight Club and Boxer Turtle challenges, of course...... and after the NCAA Mens' Finals are over. Most of my submissions go by the wayside here and I get more feedback (good and bad) elsewhere. However, I thought a last hoorah was in order so that everyone can ignore with general disdain or, at least, with your indifference.

Honey Bee

Thanks for looking.

Oh wait,..............................................................

Am I one of those people?

Nah...... I didn't tell anyone to go off in the distance with short jerky motions.

But seriously............................................................................

:lmao: :lol:

I hardly ever look in this forum- with the exception of swan songs.

Looks good. Reminds me of your, "Does this make my butt look big?"

Nice close up

Are you reg. on other photo forums then, if so are there any you can recommend?

I think this is a great shot. I love the colors. Too bad it has that little bit of blown out area on the tail, but its not a deal breaker. I haven't bought any new photography toys in a while. I keep threatening to get a macro lens. I may just do it with spring coming up!

Wow, 5300+ posts and I've never even noticed you before.

Umm, OK, bye.

It's not so much a swan song as it is a reality check. Thanks for the good memory.

I'm not sure it would be in good form to promote other websites here, but once I sober up (I'm on vacation/holiday), I'll PM you with a few choices.

It was a bright late afternoon sunset at the time. I'm not thrilled with the hotspots either, but I love the shadow cast on the inside of the bloom. The addition of a macro lens has opened up a new world to me. I say go for it. (I have the Nikkor 105 VR f/2.8..... whew)

Hey.... aren't you the guy that likes to take pictures of critters?
Not so much of a bye, I still enjoy annoying people with my opinions. Just no more pics.

Thanks for your comment.

What a great shot.
Imo, the red filter or effect is too strong and it ruins the depth a bit. Nonetheless, nice

Thanks for your comments. However, there is very little PP done. Nothing done with a red filter.

I've noticed a lack of comment on posted images too, I quit posting them a while ago, but I don't worry about it either, I take photos for me, I don't really give a crap what anyone else thinks. :mrgreen:

Now, your photo, technically it is excellent, but I don't like the colours. However - that is just the opinion of one arsehole and I know it won't bother you. :mrgreen:

Also, I'm going to be home for Fight Club on Sunday - see you there!

You're welcome, and probably taken for granted. My apology to you, and I'm glad you'll be virtually omniscient, at the least.

I'd rather annoy with my images. I get my share of no-responses, but I'm fine with it. If I see something I like and have something good to say, I say it. I just don't see everything.

Nice photo. Hate to see you leave us. I post photos for myself, hoping for critique. If I don't get any, I am not offended. I know a lot of people look at my photos (people sometimes tell me) and they don't even log on to TPF. I look at a lot of photos on TPF, I don't make comment very often because I don't think I'm experienced enough to be critical of others & their work. But I sure do enjoy looking! Take a second thought about leaving. We'll miss your work. If you do leave, I wish you the best. God bless!
