4 FREE MEMBERSHIP to someone who deserves to be a DPC member, and to get the chance to grow like I have.

The four people giving away a "Free DPC 'Gift' membership" for 12 months are

Thank you kindly

I have now been here awhile, and already have, these amazing statistics below. Some of 'my statistics' really blow me away.

I like to give out a "DPC Free 'GIFT' Membership" to someone who deserves it. Someone like you, who loves DPC, and has some talent to achieve greater things, by being a full 'DPC member'.

I have been so lucky, as I have been given three DPC memberships without asking, and I would like to give back to the community that has supported me. Entering challenges has helped me to grow, (not in height) but in developing a better understanding of techniques, and exploring new ideas. I want to give you that same chance.

Add you name here, if you are not a full member, and would like to be the one I choose, to give a one years 'DPC GIFT Membership'.

Maybe some other DPC full members, may like to think about doing this as well. I do not mind if you like to join me.

One week from today, on the 28-8-2008, I will choose the person who wins my 'DPC GIFT Membership'.

Shez, you are DPC's SUPER member! Your stats are just amazing and I am always amazed at how often I get a comment from you in a challenges!

As well as being a super member you are also a super friend! Your love and support is one of the best things that I have found in my time here on DPC. Thank you for all you do Shez!!

Now on to the techincal stuff, I will happily donate another membership in honour of all that Shez has contributed to DPC. I'll leave it up to you how you want to hand this membership out Shez!

The last two challengers I entered were months ago, and the ones before those were 6+ months... I've been in such a slump..

But you came along and did the August Flower Side Challenge. I have taken over a thousand images in the past 20 days, you have commented on most, if not all, of my floral shots... and I entered the purple challenge yesterday!!

I'm glad you have been given memberships as you are an inspiring and loving individual who deserves it! Giving away a membership to someone else also shows this about you. Bravo! I'm privileged to know ya!

Dana,

aerogurl Thank you for your kind words, and it has been a pleasure working along side of you in the flower side challenge.

Now for my very special friend Natalya,

talj as you have also been my 'ROCK' on the days I was not well, and I know you have a difficult road ahead yourself, and yet you say the most wonderful things, and I thank you for being my friend.

Please add you name here, if you would like to be considered for a 'free' DPC membership, as there are two up for grabs.

Anyone can also nominate someone they feel deserves this.

I would like to nominate someone if I may..

The person I would like to suggest is just 15 years old and is already, since joining here a little while ago, improving fast, he has a great eye and a young fresh mind to the business of photography and I feel if given a chance to spread his wings further would do so.

the person is

Q-bis have a look at his work.

It is a wonderful thing you are doing Shez, god bless.

Shez what I find most surprising about your stats is that 3157 haven't marked or found your comments helpful...what the deuce?! It must be that they just haven't marked them cause I can't imagine them being anything less than helpful, you're just not that type of person...(oh snap I better go check the ones you've given me lol.)

Hope you find someone truly worthly, it's a really nice thing you're doing.

Hey sherpet. Well I'd be a fool not to post in here. I just recently got my first camera last December. Since then I've gotten really into photography. I've started entering as many competitions as I can here as I find it an absolutely GREAT way to constantly challenge the way I look at the world. I often find myself walking through town something without my camera and thinking, "Hmm, I wonder if that would be a good shot."

Anyway, I feel like I have a lot of positive energy going into photography and my lust for learning feels unstoppable. A membership here would only excel the learning process for me even further! So, if you do choose me, I can at the least guarantee a fantastic effort on my part. And no doubt, at the end of that year I'll have become a completely different photographer, or at least I hope so!

Thanks for the opportunity sherpet! :)

Any opportunity to roast a poet is okay by me.....I'll have a rare slice.

Peter would be a great loss to all of us at TS, and the site at large.....I'd love to be an "Aye" for his nomination.

I agree with

BAMartin on her niominations of

Phil &

Node......good people!!!

I'd also like to join the "I Love Shez" club.

She AWESOME!!!!

I'll be renewing my membership soon, adding the extra portfolio space, and renewing my daughter for all the great bennies, and to support the site.

Yeah, you'll be stuck with me for another year!

I think she meant "deserving" in the positive sense. But don't fret. You will certainly get what you deserve as well. :P
