Great captures Ron! I think #3 is outstanding…full of character. And #2 has wonderful light! Great detail and tones throughout all of them!

Thanks for all your support folks! Unfortunately any time we post an image on the web it’s there for the taking by less than honest people. It’s the price we pay for trying to get our work out there and get noticed!!

Thanks again to Irishwonakfan for spotting this and Andy for letting me know!

And to Swordie. Nothing strange or false here. Just a straight capture with a tone curve adjustment done in post processing!

Sounds like a great site with many great folks here. I think I will submit some of my work here soon!

The image in question is indeed mine…..Heather McFarland. Here is a link to it on my website = http://www.hkmphotos.com/DesktopModules/ImageDisplay.aspx?iImageId=580

This image has won several online competitions in the past. So no…I am not using another name to submit here. Mr Robert55 is a fraud and has stolen my work. Isn’t the first time it’s happend and I’m sure it won’t be the last. It’s sad that some people feel the need to steal other peoples hard earned work and submit it as their own.

I want to thank all of the folks here who “recognized” my image and asked Robert to explain himself. Also to Andy who sent me an e-mail to alert me that this was happening. Only by us HONEST photographers sticking together and watching out for each other like this can we try to combat this internet stealing!!

Thank you all so much!!

To Robert55….what a classless jerk. How much real satisfaction can you get from stealing other photographers work. Are you that desperate for attention?
