Thanks for your great replies everyone!! :-) Only day one and I'm already starting to feel at home here, which definitely makes me feel more comfortable putting my work up for others to view. I've already gotten a lot of positive feedback on my first photo, which is definitely a warm fuzzy. ;-) I'm glad most of you guys seem to share my view that it's not the camera that makes the picture, it's the photographer..As much a I want a DSLR camera, my Kodak is my baby, lol, and I love it. There's so much to take in on this site, it's gonna take me a little while to get my bearings, but it's good to know that everyone is so friendly and supportive here! Thanks again for all the great replies everyone!
