uurrgghhh....must...get...broadband.....

I'm decidedly slow here. Which pictures are we discussing? Are they the ones showing the Snow Serpents in their burrows? Not to be a suckup, but I like those for their "snapshot in time" quality, and I think they are both equally well done. That being said, I tend to lurk more than comment on everything posted. My view is that the work posted here is quite well done and shows a great deal of thought even on the smallest works.

I'm just kidding. REmember there was a huge influx a few times and I had to switch it to 45 images per page to catch everything. And the funny thing is, I SWEAR pics were showing in spots that I had already looked. Like some of TG's stuff. I looked it all over, checked back a few hours later and something new was nestled between the ones I had already looked at. lol.

Seriously tho, I have it set to the usual 15, but something like Viper Week, I went 30 just to be able to see everything easily.

Eh, I'm probably my own biggest critic. I've only had a decent camera for just over a year, still a learning process, I was never much of a picture taker. I'd rather learn as I go. There's gobs of pictures I've saved but will never be uploaded here, maybe a couple I shouldn't have.

Anyway, the only person I take pictures for is me. Personally, I thing most online fan creations at least start of with the creator's own needs in mind. Taking pictures is a positive way for me to enjoy what I collect. Most of the time...it can be frustrating.

I generally don't "down vote". I have decided withhold 5-stars for outstanding pictures (btw, I don't consider any of mine 5-star material.) 1-5 with no halves is a pretty tight ranking system.

When I look back to some of the pics I posted early on, I think "there's no way I would post that now." It's natural that, as you learn to take better pics, you look back at some of your early stuff and cringe.
