Oh.....you're breaking my heart with the D700 story.....sob!

I was using your laundry list of fabulous shots with the D50 as my reason for holding out against the ever-present onslaught of progress.

Now you go and show me this blue ribbon out of the first batch!!

I'm going to have to cry myself to sleep!

Oh.....and congrats, dammit!.....8>)

This is a very evocative, emotive scene. I think you did a wonderful job on the PP. Very well deserved ribbon......IMNSHO it should have scored higher. Nicely done!

A decent entry. Personally I would have liked it a little cleaner in the foreground. Nice concept and execution.

I liked this......the road bugged me a little, but the harsh lighting, the ropes & posts, and the boots all bespake the incidental, yet necessary, chore that this is.....nice!

Deb, I gotta be honest....I gave this a 4.

I tried to get it, but it's just ordinary and had nothing to draw me in or pique my interest.

Honestly, I cannot offer up anything helpful....it just is what it is.

Hope you're not mad at me now......8>)

Robert.....love ya.....just didn't get it, though.

Not that I'm difficult to go past; I'm pretty much a meat-and-potatoes photography guy......8>)
