Ya know....I'm beginning to feel guilty posting images to the forum, with all this talk of back-slapping and what not. This was taken today...converted to b&w in PS. Feel free not to back-slap or critique, I've posted it because I wanted to share it.....simple as that. Oh boy, I think I'm getting cranky again...........

There is no need to feel that there is anything wrong with posting a photo just because you feel like it. This forum is for anyone and everyone who wants to share their images and experience.

We have a great group of people here that you are certainly a part of Michelle, and The main area of this forum will not change regardles of what is decided to do with in-depth critiques.

Sooo even if you don't want it here is a pat on the back for an image that IMO opinion is strong, well composed and captures a special moment.

will a critically done back pat not be in order? heehee what i think is this: If bonbon can posts pictures of her son in the gallery... why can't you post wonderful shots of the shore in here? i love the water, i swear this shot makes me wanna go to the beach now. thanks for sharing this :)

Here's a critique free pat form me! Thanks for sharing, I miss living by the sea ; )
