As a new member I would like to thank everyone for allowing my work to be judged side by side with the amazing photographers who are part of this community. Viewing your posts and your individual websites has opened my eyes and increased my desire to improve my technique and approach.

I agree. It has been very helpful to me as well. And the really neat thing is, as others get better, it drives me harder to get better. That's why I try to participate as often as I can... pushes me to up my game (although not always successful).

By the way, do not sell yourself short. Your no slouch at this... you produce some nice photos.

It is a great sentiment and very true. Other members photographs are a constant source of inspiration.

Now if it only "being inspired" didn't cost so much
