hi lisa! maybe you did not know, but this forum is not the place to discuss about someones more or less talent. in the gallery are so many images every day that one cannot comment them all, even if one could like them all. but to expect this is not realistic and has nothing to do with talent or goodwill at all! what did you expect? a gallery is not like a stage where the public give first an applause when an artist (one of over 1500!)comes in. it's a pity but no surprise that you cannot find friends with your "charming" introduction here. maybe it works better if you take the thorns out of your words? peace! sophie
