Hey Paul,

Sure, there are a number of things..

• Fist and foremost, my wife is a few days away from delivering our first born.:D So I expect to have little time in the near future.
• Second, the little time that I do have left I'll be investing in a new website that I'm currently developing. This site will focus on Dutch fauna, and will feature my images coupled with all the info I can gather on the animals photographed. Its main purpose is to show people the wonderful world we live in, but that we hardly ever notice..
• And finally.. For me personally, this forum brings little extra. During the few months that I have been here I've noticed that it all basically comes down to a hand full of active people, and a *lot* of lurkers who add zilch. This forum (to me) is basically a gallery with many 'ooh', 'aah' and 'wow' sayers, but you hardly ever see any constructive criticism. My flickr account is for the wow-sayers (because everyone likes wow-sayers, me included ) , but I expected more from a forum like this.

I hope I didn't offend anyone, because that really is not my intention.

Cheers everyone !

Well good luck in your venture.

Enjoy your photography.

Hey
For criticism you can add your photos at "The whipping post" where you will only get criticism and suggestions on how to improve photos.
Alternately you can also request for critics in your posts.

Waiting for your Dutch fauna images WOW

Don't leave ! there are million of people who love to see iamges from around the world ! you never know how your images may help them to increase their knowledge.

Good luck

Don't leave JAX - for many reason, including that we want to see pics of your newborn!

Best of luck - hope all goes well

BTW for me to give critique of a shot, it has to be explicitly requested with EXIF information, what you think is wrong with the shot and some indication of how experienced you are with macro.
I've seen too many newbies scared off from forums by over enthusiastic crititique from the resident "experts"
