What a compliment, I must admit I wasn't expecting this, the quality of the images posted on here just blow me away. The learning curve has been huge since the forum started and I have been working hard to apply what I have learnt from using the camera to post processing, a big thankyou to everyone.
The most difficult part for me is commenting on the superb images that I could only wish to create. Having said that, I find this the most rewarding, as I start to apply those thoughts to my own images. What a geat way to learn, I find I am even more critical of my own images and see so much more, that would have been unnoticed a couple of months ago.
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in a great forum. To the forum owners thanks for the hard work, you guys must put in some long hours and thanks for the comments everyone, this really makes me feel like I have achieved something.
Wonderful image here Ian. Love the perch and the line created as well as the great colour and detail of both birds. Great image and very deserved of the accolades !!
