A very interesting subject and I think I'll be trying to shoot a new image for this one.

Thinking cap is on.....

Interesting, I think I'll wait and see what itall looks like before making any opinion.

My first question would be will it be at a reasonable price level? The second will be can you negotiate a deal with it?

It's not possible Chris to demand freedoms on the one hand, and plenty of this happens when things get removed, and on the other hand to demand restrictions. What we end up with is just someone else's vision of what should be where.

And what happens when something gets in the "wrong" place?

Just keep an open mind, be civil, enjoy the photography and let's not get bogged down by rules and regulations. If they are granted, one thing for sure is that they are never quite was you expect.

This section is called Your Photos and is provided for members, all members, to present their images. Critique should be respectful, should mention the things we like as well as offering constructive comments on how we think images could be improved.

This advice is given in the guidelines, and suggesting that anyone should post their images elsewhere is outside being respectful and constructive.

For those who wish the Gallery is also provided and the ability to comment and critique is also found there.

The main difference is that here the forum needs to be linked to somewhere that hosts the image, such as Photobucket. In the Gallery you can upload directly from your computer.

These places are provided for us to share and enjoy each others photography. If we don't like an image there are civil ways to say so. Please don't make it a personal comment directed at the photographer.

If ever an image is clearly unsuitable for a mixed age group audience, then that should be marked as Adult and only placed in the gallery, which offers filters. Any inappropriate images can be reported, via PM to a moderator for the quickest response.

Only that it's easy to destroy the atmosphere of the shots with over processing in Photoshop, so be subtle!

The DA 40mm does indeed outclass any compact.

That's indeed where I got mine Tony!

Thanks for the thought Don't Worry, Be Happy - amazing name you have by the way!

The short answer is that if there's a problem then an individual will have it mentioned.

I don't see the point in looking for solutions to problems that don't exist, or which are very rarely a problem.

What many people missed yesterday was the correct way to raise an issue. Rather than splashing it across the forum, a simple PM will get an answer and it can be taken further as necessary.

In the first instance, just drop a PM to a moderator. I'm almost always avaialble to discuss anything you like.

If there was a problem with signatures, I think you'd know by now.

The matter is now resolved to the satisfaction of those concerned and we should respect that.
