Seems to be a competent photographer with no intent to deceive. The only thing I find mildly depressing is the lack of challenge with "shares", something which seems to me to be far too common these days. Agreed! It seems to have been an honest April Fool gag. When you say “lack of challenge with shares” I assume that you are referring to the current nature of the photography NGs, particularly r.d.p., and the lack of image sharing. These days r.d.p. has become a battlefield for trolls, stalkers, and flame warriors. The SI (Shoot In) died due to lack of enthusiasm & participants, and the number of shared images has dwindled ever since. We still have a handful who try to talk photos, or camera equipment. However, argument without substance, and personal, and OT attacks, along with unexplainable stupidity prevail. All we need is for effective kill files, and a willingness to keep the group On Topic by sharing the occasional image, seeking occasional constructive criticism, meet the occasional challenge Image creation/PP issue), discussing equipment, and avoiding thread entropy. Anyway, here is a shot of a pier (Pismo Beach Pier) any aerobatics team would have trouble flying under. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-cmHpsfT/0/e1e5b3a7/O/i-cmHpsfT.jpg OK. As long as we are sharing images: Here is a link to one of my abstracts, that I don't think even the Duck will hate it too much. Although the component images are old, I pieced it together about a month ago. There are over 26 different images in this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpr1w0618obffd5/museum%20Dahlias.jpg?dl=0 OK! I approve. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I thought it would make an interesting image. Without the frame it just looks like wrapping paper. The woman is actually looking at an image in the Clarke Museum. Her skirt color compliments the image color, so I put her in for balance. -- PeterN |
