Firstly, I have to say that this is close to being the only really worthwhile thread I’ve seen in the General Chat section since I joined the site.

I certainly don’t think that PI is declining, and I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed about it’s success and value to us – Robbie hit it
on the head when he said that when he thinks photography, he thinks PI.

I do have some negative vibes on PI but I have isolated them into just one area – GENERAT CHAT.

I know it’s been debated before, but this area is the home of 95% of the negativity that appears on PI.

Some people use the area to get carried away with their little hobby horses, in some cases act out their little frustrations, AND worst of all, suck
the rest of us into their dross! All in the guise of wit and comedy.

The final nail in the coffin for me was when a one of my postings was moderated for expressing an opinion that was obviously contrary to some rule?

Anyway, I’m off, enjoy the waffle, and I look forward to seeing you in the rest of PI, on photographic matters :D

Parting words – “GET RID OF THE GENERAL CHAT!”

Well said Alan,

since he deems himself a god, maybe he should depart this world (site) to somewhere more suiting to his oversized, eh, persona!

Yeh, it’s a pity about the distance in one way, BUT it’s lovely to appreciate the deer in their natural habitat, which the broader perspective shots allow.

Nice play on the matching colours miki, and you framed the subject well.
The pump is not unusual in itself, but your treatment of it makes the shot worthwhile.

Hi Cathal. a lovely shot – composition is great – the clarity in the foreground water, and the variety of detail in the reflections – lots
to see in it!

One suggestion, it may be my screen, but you could expose a bit more? Remember I’m no expert.

Sorry I missed the outing.

Very well captured Tony – it’s not just his expression that’s so good – the overall posture is really appealing!
