Memories Awaiting Tomorrow's Recall is my most successful “non-main” picture I have ever posted. When you click on it, you will see that it has 1406 views, 733 down loads (by the way, has anyone else noticed that the download count on the Control Panel is not matching the number you see on your upload page on all of your pictures?), and 30 favorites.

A little bit about its history. After it was posted, it was selected and admitted to the forerunner of the Main gallery, the “Permanent” gallery. However, shortly later it was removed by a mod.

Much time past and when the artist membership gained the right to vote for pictures to be included in the Perms, it was placed into the Perms by the vote of the AC.

Unfortunately again, it was later removed by a mod. The picture has visual flaws, for sure, and I do not harbor any “buts” about it.

I recently found the picture I had used in creating Memories Awaiting Tomorrow’s Recall. It was not all that well taken and I can see why I had manipulated it in the first place. So, I dusted it off, cleaned it up, re-cropped it, added a sky, played a bit with its lights and shadows, and with its colors and now have, Revisited Memory, for your review.

Good morning John, there is so much history behind the first one. In my honest, and humble opinion I really like both of these images. So different, and each offer a different mood, but to me both are very good. I did not notice that about the counter, interesting? Tigs♥ =^..^=

John aka SAC, the fact that your splendid posting 'Memories Awaiting Tomorrow's Recall' was deleted by one of the MOD's doesn't amaze me. Everywhere else we see the same phenomenon. The opinion of a jury consisting of 'specialists' usually differs from that of a jury consisting of 'laymen'. Even the fact that it was downloaded 733 times and was made to a fave by 30 members/friends seems not to be of any value. I've seen in the past too much of these, to me not understandable, decisions so that I'm still asking myself whether it's a matter of skills and expertise or just arrogance?

Your 'Revisited Memory' is a splendid one to me as well. I hope that a lot of friends will agree with me.

Regards, Cornelius aka SEA.

I have the original as a favorite John and I still love it and this version is also gorgeous in it's own right.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

John - A pleasing view in all its iterations. The dramatic contrasts and darker tones add a bit of mystery to this peaceful scene. Thad
