Now I like the gold glow, natural or not but I wish it did not have the foreground tuft and it may be me but I want to turn it to the left a tad.

Like the framing of the tree branch why not try a few different cuts and if I am right straighten the image - think some off the left or right may improve the composition. Just my thoughts I am no expert.

Edit. can't spell either.

Edit. is it my imagination or has the image changed I am sure there was a slight irritation in the left corner but it has gone.

.....or you can buy in confidence on line from SRS - mention you are a PU member and you do not pay postage.

If you are right then we will be free to make our own decisions whatever that may be but I hope it does not come to that and that admin will find a way.

In fairness admin have asked for time to consider and I think we should trust them to come to the right decision once they have had time to think.

Hello Amin, well hello Amin,
It's nice to have you back where you belong.

Have to say I followed convention rather than read the rules - slapped wrist. Now do I remove my list of equipment used or not? I find it of use to know what a person may be using but if it is not allowed perhaps we should have a spring clean.

It is good to hear that the moderators are giving consideration to this, I too feel it is or could be offensive or even hurtful to others although I accept it is an expression on Paul’s political feelings a photographic forum that is frequented by people from around the world is not the place to make his personal political feeling felt.

I would go further to say for one who expresses a feeling for the underprivileged it is a bit surprising that he should choose to deface this emblem that in all probability would mean a good deal to those very underprivileged people he cares about, may be not in the UK but in other parts of Europe

Have to agree this is a defacing of a flag/symbol that means a good deal to many millions of people particularly those from eastern Europe and probably Eire that have seen their lives change beyond measure.

Gosh! sad day - everyone tip toeing through glass.

Pleased to hear that but would not think that way anyway.
