Abusive? I dont think so. I would however say that you are insensitive. Once again, even if a shuttle is "ablaze in an flaming ionized air" as you put it ,upon reentry, it is upon reentry that the shuttle was destroyed. Only somene who wasn't thinking would call an image like yours a "tribute". It's tactless. Concerning my gallery I believe you found it to be empty. I do not feel it necessary to post any work here as I'm not interested in anyone's opinions on it. If you post work you should beprepared for opinions both positive and negative. It seems you are not.
