Favorite Photo Friday (Saturday and Sunday)

After 20 weeks - I have decided to take a break from this little blog event. Although born out of my desire to learn how to take better photos and edit them more effectively, by posting a photo and sharing that information - and encouraging questions and comments among the participants - after 20 weeks we just never got off the ground. The last two weeks there were no participants.

I guess the web is just inundated with 'how to be a better photographer' websites.

For me, they are all just so big and I when I participate I don't often get the constructive criticism back that will fill the needs I am looking to fill. I had even received several nasty comments from posting on Flickr a few times. (example: "These are just crappy photos" was one remark! Wouldn't it help the photographer if the commenter explained what they didn't like the photo, what was wrong and how the person could improve?)

Thanks to those who read, participated and commented.

Although I won't be posting here 'right now' (who knows the urge may come upon me again, when I have a bit more time) you can be sure I might be asking you 'How You Got That Shot' when I visit your blogs.
