Here's the real calander cover!
Thanks trolls and others who just had to get in a bit of head kicking. http://www.ryadia.com/POD/July/24-07-07.htm There is a golden rule the groupies following me around never quite understood. "If you can't say something decent about someone, good grace decrees you should say nothing"!. |

Julian vehemently accused in
oups.com: "If you can't say something decent about someone, good grace decrees you should say nothing"!. Kewl, do I get to be the first to say it? Hey Jules, Grace here, and all I have to say is "Nothing!"

"If you can't say something decent about someone, good grace decrees you should say nothing"!. I like how you've framed the entire bay--nay, the entire ocean! Double-nay, the entire sky!!--with those 2 little shrubs. Quite heroic of them, really. ('Atlas Shrubbed', as it were.) I'm also impressed that not one single mast has been cut off at the top! Of course, you've got so much boring sky, I can almost see Sputnik up there! It was an excellent choice, from an editor's view, to leave fully half of your photo boring and essentially blank so that the text is an improvement. A veritable typographer's wetdream! I also like the contrast of boat to car, ocean/sky to parking lot. And is that earthy brown building a public restroom? Brilliant! One little oasis of (night-)soil in an ocean of sky and bay! And to think, had you stepped 10 feet closer to the cliff there, you might not have had any grass in the frame, and we could have imagined you had been soaring like a bird when you took this shot. Noon sure is a dramatic time to shoot.

You know after the Mac's 10 year history of publishing calendars and postcards (many of the calendars total sell outs year after year), I'd recon your contribution could change the face of calendars in Australia, nay, the world. Good one, mate. Now for your next trick are you going to post your calendar covers? What about another "Photo of the day"? Now that was a good idea, wasn't it? How long did it last? A week, wasn't it? Naw... Just weak, eh? |

You know, this is why you can't ever hope to be a Professional Photographer. Do you not see the relationship between a wedding cake and wedding gifts? Here lies the clear evidence of your stupidity. All you see is a cabinet that IN YOUR OPINION interferes with the picture. Wedding Photographers are not unlike Photojournalists. They work with what they can. When you try to be smart and post some of my photos before I altered them, you are just showing people how bloody idiotic you really are. Nearly all the pictures I took in the house being restored under a National Trust order, that you stole some of the shots from, had the subjects lifted and put over other backgrounds. You never bothered to write for a password to the wedding gallery, just thought how great it would be to slap D-Mac around a bit. Now you are about to pay for your crimes. Enjoy yourself while you can. |

"Willarojo" wrote in message 6.120... Julian vehemently accused in oups.com: "If you can't say something decent about someone, good grace decrees you should say nothing"!. This probably explains why I haven't said anything about anybody for the past 30 years or so........ |

Nearly all the pictures ***I TOOK*** in the house being restored As Troy piggins pointed out, Douglas, when you are pretending to be Julian, you should possibly stop referring to yourself as "I", don't you think? (O: You're pretty entertaining, though! Now you are about to pay for your crimes. Enjoy yourself while you can. Just one more tip, if I may. Gloating over your victories is generally best done *after* you have achieved one. We're still waiting for that glorious day. |

Here's the real calander cover! That's CALENDAR. Thanks trolls and others who just had to get in a bit of head kicking. http://www.ryadia.com/POD/July/24-07-07.htm That's ok. Happy to oblige. There is a golden rule the groupies following me around never quite understood. "If you can't say something decent about someone, good grace decrees you should say nothing"!. Ah yes, but this is a place of learning. So even though Douglas may be incapable of that (learning), *others* may benefit from the following critical appraisal. PLUSES: It's a 'pleasant' scene Horizon is straight MINUSES: - should probably have been horizontal, or at least composed differently - centred horizon looks boring, and appears to be there simply to give the text enough sky - bad cropping (leftmost boat hits the frame edge - beginner's error) - Text effects are trite, straight out of WordArt 101 - image is unsharp (the original is probably fine but the downsizing was done poorly - also note the stairstepping on front left mooring) - polariser, polariser, polariser (in other words this is harsh midday light - what was he thinking?) - two bushes look silly - post in middle looks sillier (it's just a calendar cover, so you might be forgiven for cloning) Finally, the choice of image is.. er.. puzzling. So they have a marina, woohoo.. Why not include something other than an unused, unoccupied piece of grass in the foreground? Where's the interest, the excitement, or even the relaxing mood for someone to sit and enjoy the view? Nope, just an empty piece of grass that looks as if it is probably on someone's private land.. This image says to me "Don't bother coming here unless you like to see boats in a marina from a distance (probably behind locked gates). I can imagine this image cropped differently, taken at dawn or dusk, perhaps with a silhouetted figure holding a champagne glass lit by the golden spears of light from sundown, as the day softly trickles away into a gorgeous night, full of promise... Oh sorry, I shouldn't be getting all poetic - this image screams... SNAPSHOT!!! (Now let's drive on to somewhere *nice*.) |
