and as far as my criticism, at the risk of sounding even more like a douchebag... i know a good picture when i see it. while i can't usually take those stunning shots, i do know my way around a camera and it's elements. it's just in my nature to critique because i genuinely LOVE it when people do the same to my work. i want to know what people like and dislike, and i kind of just assume people want the truth. if a picture is simply ridiculous then i don't care about being coy, but if i can tell that the photog will actually take the criticism and put it to use, i will give them an honest critique. anyone on here who knows me personally knows how i am. i respect and encourage those who deserve it.

thread is rollin. keep em coming.
Good Job with that response. I see where your coming from. As I was trying to say, you take great photos. I just have not seen that million dollar shot yet. I will admit I am a fan of your work though.
