It seems that you have failed to comment on anyone elses images.
Things would move along at a more pleasing pace if everyone would take the time to comment on at least one image each time they post one of there own.
You are not alone...just the first I've bothered to say anything to. I hate to do it...but it needs to be done.
I didn't see where it was mandatory to post anything on this forum. Whether you like someone's posted image or have constructive criticism about it - feel free to post your thoughts. This type of comment, unrelated to the image posted and directed at one person doesn't belong in this type of public forum, though. You want to make this type of statement, do it in a private message to the individual.
By the way - nice image, Jaime. Keep up the great work.

Just like you did, you mean?
I meant for it to be public...as you did.
This forum used to be a vibrant place where info and friendly comments flowed freely. It has been something less than that for quite some time now. Of course after six posts, you would hardly know that. Believe me...I dreaded and resisted doing this for a long time...you would not know that either.
Funny how people like you take the time to tell people like me what I should be doing instead of taking the time to do what this forum is here for...you know to make it work in a positive way. You have no idea what I am all about. Stick around and participate here and you will find out.

Looks like Ric needs to follow his own advise....
Yes...I see your point...but...I guess you don't see mine.
Oh well, I tried.
I knew I would take heat when I made my remark. Seems like people don't get it and probably won't.
I'm with Rick on this one. Maybe he could have waited 'till someone whined about "gee no comments after (insert number here) views?" I hope the OP didn't take it personally. I doubt it was meant that way.
Oh, nice capture. Pretty crisp for 1/100.

Its an excellent image Jaime. Excellent comp and I love the defocused BG.
Thanks Ric for raising a subject near and dear to my heart. I spoke to it in my welcome to the Wildlife Forum sticky. I prefer not to direct it at individuals but I understand where Ric is coming from.
The idea is not to pump up post counts but to get an ongoing exchange of ideas and thoughts going. Its great to stop by and just post some pics if thats what you want to do. However if we all did that it won't be a very interesting forum.
Jaime this isn't directed at you but at the issue Ric raised.

The shot looks nice. Why go with 1/100....just wondering if you could have used ISO 1000 or 1250 and gone for a quicker shutter speed.
I'm not Jaime but since the subject wasn't moving there wasn't a need for a higher ISO. You usually want to go with the lowest ISO possible for the best results.
