Love the arts in all their forms: Fine Art, Music, Writing, etc. A traditional painter for many years, my introduction to painting on the computer came in 1999. As time goes by I find myself spending more and more time with my tablet and pen in hand. Guess I could have a worse addiction. Since the begining of 2006 I have immersed myself into the wonderful world of photography. I have learned so much in that time and feel ready to share my stuff with you now. I'm sorry I've been away so long, but stay tuned for a daily flood of my recent captures, :)
BIO
Hello everyone! My name is John Minelli.For as long as I can remember I have had a love of the arts in all of their forms and have been striving to be the be the best that I can be. Even though I have been creating art for many years, I still feel like an infant. I find it fascinating that every time that I pick up a brush, pencil or tablet and pen I still learn something new. Although I live in Savannah, GA, USA., I have a great love of Europe; especially Italy. I spent several years working in the Middle East and took several vacations in Europe. I fell in love with Rome and plan on going back to Italy as soon as possible.

I fully understand your point, John... it's also difficult for me to catch up with all the pictures... I really do hope that this will not be your last post here... As you may know, I love and collect swan images, and this one should have a special place in my file !

Fantastic clear and detailled shot. Wonderful colors and light. Excellent!! I understand you point too, a picture limit is an aspect to think about.

Just because people don't comment doesn't mean they don't enjoy your work John. Time is the enemy of us all. Lovely brunette swan here. :)

TwoPynts..... I didn't mention comments. It's the lack of views caused by the astronomical number of posts every day. I have a rotten dial-up connection which makes it even harder just to find my favorite artists works let alone other fine images that I miss everyday. I would rather have more viewing time per image. I truly understand that we can't comment on everything we enjoy.

It's a pity renderosity isn't your preference, however, your reasons for it make sense and are understood. I too try to keep tabs, but unless one has an abundance of time it's very hard to not only view new posts, but also look through someones gallery. Although there is the function of viewing 'Most Viewed', 'Most Commented', etc. It might be also nice to have break downs like 'Most viewed in last 24hrs/past week' etc etc, just like Youtube does. I think this way images which stand above the rest get the deserved viewing. Food for thought. Great shot btw!

Very nicely done!

gorgeous work. I guess I like the small town feeling here where we all know each other and feel comfortable with not just our work and talent, but with the artists and their lives. I could go all out for exposure time and most views, etc. but I find that I get good solid hints, critiques and ideas from those who comment. That's all I need. But we all have our different reasons for posting and I wish you well.

Great work as always... I know your feelings all to well about posting here. Many artists work gets buried or underappreciated, while less deserving pieces reap in hits and accolades. Ive never been able to figure it out. I hope you continue to post here for those who do appreciate and look forward to seeing your work.

I fully understand where you are coming from. And talent shouldn't be held back! I would love to know what site you've found, I would like to pay it a visit. About your shot: I love the detail in the feathers and the way the light places interest on them.
