hmmm.   i'm not seeing any obvious sarcasm in the comments of your last two images, so just in case....  i've never, ever meant anything sarcastically on anyone's image.  i've been nothing but impressed by everyone's work, and the more i like a work (and the more time i have), the more improvements i'll mention.  because i'll stay and i'll look, look, and look again.

i hope everyone stays.  i think we just need to get used to each others' words.  everyone has their own style of speech, and there are some for whom english is a second language. i think we're going to have to be almost as careful with receiving criticism as giving it, or misunderstandings might arise.

Anasta, your work is truly lovely.  i was thoroughly impressed at your "one off" pic.
