I am here sitting in complete disbelief. I got a wonderful comment from the Great John Setzler!!!! From the very first day that I joined I have admired his photos and I think he is a fantastic photographer. But all I can say right now about the comment he made on my entry in the emotion challenge is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel the same way. He is an excellent photographer, and when my pic is not doing well with everyone else and he gives it a good comment (and things to work on), I KNOW that the pic is better than what it is voted at. Thanks John!!

Well, I'm fans of many on this site. It sure makes it all worthwhile when one of the folks you admire gives you a positive and/or helpful comment!

If I'd known you were gonna be in Berkeley, I'd have bought you a beer at Bison Brewing across the street there...nice wheels.

I think it might be, "The Great One" has been missing since I started this thread...Hmmm so where is he? LOL

Oh and looking at what clues56 said sounds like we are forming his fan club and he doesn't even know it. =o)

He's been posting in the photgraphy forums and avoiding this one...I think I would too...
That picture was taken March 2, 2003, so that trail is kinda cold...

John
It looks as if you are the Wayne Gretsky of the dpchallenge. You certainly do seem to take time to give helpful comments.Thanks from all of us.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words :) I'm glad that you find my comments useful. I enjoy getting comments on my photos as well... When you are voting on everyone else's photos, keep in mind how much you enjoy getting comments and give out a few good ones every week :)

John...when I started the thread I didn't mention today was one of those days I would have liked to toss my camera out and give up. But it was when I logged on and found your comment that I remembered why I got back into the photography in the first place.

Now ummm about the fan club....lol

Lemme join the Setzler Fan Club. I added him as a fave photog my first day here. I looked at every "how this photo was done" and saw all his great work and great ideas, etc...definitely one of the most active, and best photogs here.

Now you got me wondering what my wonderful host is up to cause I was informed we were going to be going to Hickory one day while i am there...hmmm even told will only take me 90 minutes to get there...

Fayettenam isn't that the truth, I cringe at the thought of even spending a few minutes there, let alone a few hours!
