The 3rd of the month and everything is turning up X 3!
Strolling around looking for my mate, digging bait about 3 O'clock
this afternoon, I found this threesome. http://www.ryadia.com/POD/August/3-08-07.htm BTW. If anyone thinks creating a PFTD site was a useless venture (the 3 sheep stalking my every post did)... 2,961 people have book-marked the site since July 27th. That's near enough to 1000 a month! And... How many came from Groups.Google? 1/3rd of them! Another piece of curious trivia; 12,741 people looked at my initial album http://www.ryadia.com/album1/index.html and 9,688 times the Directory holding the Picture For The Day files was accessed. The site is not three months old. Yet an average of three (3) thousand people a month looked at my PFTD photos. http://www.ryadia.com/POD/index.htm Curiosity continues in three's! The 3 sheep causing the most disruption to this group and coincidentally the most vocal in criticizing my work, make up less than 0.03% of my visitors! Wow... It certainly looks like Good things things come in three's! Now the bad stuff. http://www.annika1980.com only had 1,557 visitors for the month and a mere 1/3rd of them bothered to bookmark the site. I guess that says 1/3rd of protagonists stalking me are of bugger all interest to anyone but themselves and near enough (will be there soon) 10,000 people are interested in seeing my photographs. I think that's exceptional. Thanks to those who bothered. Dragon's breath to the *******s causing the trouble here. Doug |

Your lucky to have photogenic birds that are relatively idle. Around here about the only idle bird to be seen is the ibis or the mynah - and I'm sure you know how ugly they are. Otherwise there's things like green parrots and rosellas, but in the time it takes to lift the camera to the face they have moved on. I did manage to get this little fella last october - more luck of being in the right place at the right time than anything else. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdaj/984428275/ BTW.

Doug I was going to comment on your pic, but it is obvious that you only posted it as a lead-in for another series of attacks and threats against me. Why can't you just post a pic and leave it at that rather than posting it and starting into your usual delusional BS about people stalking an bullying you? See, D-Mac, nobody cares about any of that. We all know you're full of **** and mentally your oars ain't all in the water, if you know what I mean. And one more thing, today is August 2nd, not August 3rd. Wanna buy a calendar? |

I couldn't have said it better. I wanted to comment as well, but when he started on with that constant repititious crap, I lost interest. Helen |

Not bad for a "night" shot. ;-) Glad you are getting so many hits on your web site. Nice Job. To bad you had to go and muck it up. Draco Getting even isn't good enough. Doing better does. |

If you could keep your mouth shut and your fingers idle for just one second when my name is mentioned, you might find I have no interest in you anymore. Keep being a miserable swine and posting pictures you stole from me and you are going to get back in spades anything you think you can accomplish by (trying) to be smart. In the end, it's you who will suffer. |

A few tips for next time: - Ken Rockwellian saturation isn't always a good move, and in this case the sky has ended up just a little o-t-t, and the color of that guttering is unpleasant and distracting - I know we can't blame him for the paintjob, but D-Mac does have control of the overall image look. - The composition leaves a little to be desired - I can't help thinking a less conventional camera angle, eg closer and upwards, may have worked better. But I'm sure there was a fence (or perhaps an alligator filled moat) there - there's always an excuse! - The wooden gutter support, deep shadow beneath, and that sliver of background showing through are all very distracting, and that now- overused framing line draws attention to it. As I have pointed out elsewhere, things that are very close to, or guillotined by, the frame edge become much more noticable/noticed. This is an error being repeated in many of D-Mac's latest, er.. 'works'. - There was probably a better "critical moment".. D-Mac says he waited 25 minutes for the third bird - admirable, but how much better would this shot be if one of the pelicans was yawning, or stretching out one wing, or whatever..? They look pretty settled, so I'm betting he could have watched and waited - maybe even a montage of different poses could have worked.. In summary, a nice shot indeed and worthy of posting for a change. But it could have been a masterpiece with a bit more effort. I know I'm still learning (won't stop until I die), and I'm always open to suggestions. How will Douglas respond, I wonder? (O: As for the rest of his post, it deserves the following comment: |

Yeah, that's why in the original post in this thread you couldn't resist jabbing me and mentioning your Annika1980.com website, which is still active. If you truly have no interest in me anymore take that site down and we can end this whole thing. That should leave you plenty of time to focus on many of your other perceived enemies .... Mark Thomas, Mark Morgan, Alan Browne, Tony Polson, Colin, PixelPix, .... its a long list. Otherwise, quit your bitching and your lying and continue to get what you get. It matters not to me .... I'll still be out there taking pics every day. |
