Birdsnapper I do think that you do yourself an injustice based on your few gallery shots. OK they are not up with the Greats of Adams, Rowell,Waite et al but how many in the galley are? There I was thinking that I was the only manic depressive on the forum.

I believe with time and practise we all develop our own niche. The forum has helped some people find their niche or allowed people to experiment. We can all learn something from one another, young or old.

Personally I don’t see the need for a two tier system. It’s just the case of having the confidence to have a go. You will find that 99.9% of the members are too polite to slag anybody off. However, if you get a deafening silence maybe the shot was not as good as you hoped for.

I go along with what Don has said. I have no idea if I am first, second or third rate. Some days I have some luck and get a shot I am pleased with, other days not. It’s just a hobby which I enjoy.
