Comment by Covert_Oddity:
When I saw the change on the front page and noticed it was yours that was missing I wondered what on earth could have happened.

That's a real shame, I just did a massive tidy of my library and realised just afterwards that I had accidentally deleted a bunch of RAW originals and left the Photoshop edits, it's easily done. Mind you, mine didn't cost me a ribbon!

Sorry to hear about the loss of ribbon, I'm absolutely sure you'll make it back!

A fantastic feeling of anticipation pervades this. The magical bokeh astounds. Certainly as beautiful a dream as some of Ben's best...

Wow, no follow up comments prior to this? That's got to be a rare thing for you. Probably because it doesn't have a squirrel in it. :-{

Interesting thing I noticed now, looking at this with a different monitor than the one at home. The fleet in the background has a bit of a posterized appearance, instead of a very smooth and light faded look. Monitors make a huge difference when it comes to how subtleties are displayed.

See what happens when you don't have a squirrel? Bad luck Wendy. Still a great shot though.

I have never read such a gracious note regarding the loss of a ribbon via a DQ - grace under fire doesn't even come close to your remarks. I only hope I would be so thoughtful if or probably when it happens to me. But I wouldn't be hehehe

Look on the bright side; if this had stayed on your profile page, we might have actually been forced to accept that you can shoot stuff besides birds and squirrels, and you wouldn't be under the radar anymore. Whew! That was a close call! Crafty DQ!

OH...noooo.... I'm sorry, Wendy.

I hope you're having a great trip to make up for it just a little.

Sweet!
