Hi lesbentley **;-)
im sorry i missed this shot of yours .. I think its a great shot :-)
I never noticed your gallery before until you commented on my stuff the other day. and i thank you for all the great comments you left on many images that day :-)

I dont get much time to comment on images as much as i would like.

I have always been shocked when I see an image that looks like it was done with a cell phone and uploaded with no editing at all. and it will have as many as 60 to 80 comments.
and im a bit in shock when i see that. but then soon as i see the persons avatar i know who it is. and its always someone that has about 7 days a week 8 hours a day. to comment on every image before its even hot off the press,

then i will see master photographers here. that get next to nothing on a image. and that has always shocked me as well..

you have to keep in mind some people find their self worth not in the work they do. they will put more work into collecting compliments then they will into photography.. they will take 15 min in a day to take a picture of a stick and hurry up and toss it out there. then they will spend 8 hours collecting compliments. to me it is sad but that how some people find self worth.

and i have asked people that comment on stuff like this. and they say well I leave comment to help them get better. and i look and they been posting for 5 years.. and i go ummmm dont think much has changed sense day 1.. and i dont think typing awesome amazing bravo 5+++ is helping them get better..

but if you leave a comment and say why dont you adjust that with levels in photoshop. you now became a troll lol

**lesbentley if you get 3 comments all day long. trust the fact is better then 40 to 60 comments. the 3 really like your stuff and thats huge. the 40 and 60 could care less about your stuff **they only want a compliment back so you can feed their self worth.

and thats the facts plain and simple ;-)
goodness hope i dont get in trouble for this. I have been being so good and posting nothing but fun pictures lol
