as most of you may or may not have noticed, I haven't posted any images as of late or very few. When I do post, it is here in the forum and not for the gallery. I feel that I get a more honest evaluation in the forum when I ask for it. If I feel it is a significant image, I'll post it on my member page thingie. I'm not here to collect brownie points, I'm here to become a better photographer. So to me, all of the "excellents" and all the "rankings" don't teach me anything, but things like, "try one f-stop lower in this light condition" or something like that does teach me something, so that is where I place value....but that's just me.
