I have looked at your gallery, and I like what I see in the s. You have captured some really amazing shots of nature, yet there is only so much you can do.

Someone told me a while back to attempt to avoid the majority of my gallery being cloud photography, for they need to be really amazing to have high ratings. It is a tough area because "pretty good" really isn't that good at all, and even the best receive little attention.

Try to expand your horizons and aim your camera at different things on impulse. Most of all, try to gain a perspective usually not observed by the human eye, for these are the most intruiging.

I began uploading at 1280 by 1024 pixels thinking that it was more than enough for anybody, but people still told me to uplaod at a larger resolution. If you upload at 1600 by 1200, then you will begin to get more criticism and encouragement. Keep uploading!

Thanks for the nice comment on -Soft blue hydragena-Much appreciated.

Thanks you Cindy for the comment you left on Over the Rise. I appreciate the time you took to leave some feedback:-)

Hi Cindy. Glad you liked "Against an Angry Sky" and "Starting Fresh". Thanks for the comments.

Hello again Cindy;
Thanks for the comments on "Sunrise - Mt. Hood" and "Foggy Mt. Rainier Sunrise from Reflection Lake". Glad ya like them. Come and visit my gallery as often as you like.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
William Faulkner
