    The trees are still green where I am, and it's only just started to rain today.
    Now that's creepy. Doesn't look like we'll be having an autumn here, at least not a fair sized one.


    Nice picture, brilliant even, but on the basis of principle I just can't vote for it.

    from what i have been following in this thread, it does not seem that claude meant to flame or anything like that, i really interpret it as him joking around (similar to how i was joking around about sam winning all the time, etc...)

    i think we should all just drop it and concentrate on this week's Autumn photo competition!

    think we should all step back and think about what were saying on this one, its to easy to come accross ass a ass on the forum with out trying. Unfortualntly as you cant here a toine of voice or see body language its diffcalt to know how to take some comments and then human nature rears its head and automaticly makes you think the worst.
    atlantis, i dont win all the time, i wish i did, but im simply not that good yet between my ful fime job (fixing software problems) programing, webdesign, fixing laptops and tralling though access and excell playing with data. Ohh and doing a foundation degrey part time as well as work, decorating a house, fixing frends and famlys PC's, orgnising wedings..I can go onm i dont get a lot of time to do what I considure my true passion. if im not at work, at uni, driving to work, driving to uni, sleeping, or in hosptal with nackerd body lol im out with me camera. spose what im trying to say is that it takes a serten thing to be a good photograpa, and im not one. its a hobbey and relese some of the stuff i see on a daily bases makes mine look like bin material, we all do what we can when we can and with what we have......

    If you start allowing photomanips into the competition it will loose its focus.

    i just have to say some here...

    ofc its no problem if someone wins a lot.
    That usually is because that person is pretty good at the things he doing.

    would be fun if i could take away those in my lifes who are better then me but i guess i have to like the way it is..

    and when it comes to that picture, its great but i agree that if you manipulate a picture to much id belongs on a photoshop tutorial page instead.

    it was very nice though....
