So seriously think. life is too short to worry about all the nasty stuff that happens just live life for the simple pleasures and great memories. like this cute guy I captured on my last trip to Waterton.
I fed him a couple of my chips to get a closer view and then when he called his many friends Otto, Otti, and I fled to the safety of our car. He has alot of friends.
I'd like to think that I have made just as many friends here on TL.

Today I have read my first 'Forum' conversation and have to say I am so not interested.
I really don't want to know any more. I dislike whining and really could careless about 'rude' people just ignore them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. how boring our pictures and life would be if we all had the same one.
I am truly sad to hear of good people leaving, but that is their choice please don't try to 'force' me to leave too.
I have found friends here that I care about just as much as the friends I see every day and have gotten some great advise and critiques on my pics.
I have to say that myself i will not read forums again.
thanks for reading my babble and my opinion. doesn't mean you have to agree.. :)

Enjoy!!!

Oh my goodness, you got me on the cuteness factor here! Halarious shot Christan! nice catch. I like the DOF, it's seems a little over sharp, or maybe it's my glasses!
LOVE your notes, this is so true... just post, have fun..life is too short for all this bickering... I love my TL friends too! Thanks so much for stopping by my gallery today!

Hi Christan,

There are few critiques that make the heart not feeling nice . . and I just forget it . .
I learn many things in this site . . and still some friends who have their heart to share their competencies for my improvement . .
Not many TL members from Indonesia, but still we meet in Jakarta to discuss things about it . . we never knew each other before becoming TL member . .

This is a lovely moment to have it enjoying cracker . .
Sharp and composed with blurred BG . . great you focus on the eye . .

Tfs,
TJutjut

Hi Christan, your right life is to short to worry about what other people may or may not think. Differences in opinions and people is what makes TL and the world an interesting place.

I like your close up shot of this little guy. The POV is very good you must have almost laying on the ground for this one. Nice details and good timing as he is about to munch on that chip. Nice shot.

Regards,
Kevin

This guy is just perfect.

Hi Christan,
Great to have you back again
I really love this capture - great timing, as he is about to take a bite too :)
One small suggestion for improvement? -- I think I'd have left a little more room in front of my subject than behind it

Hi Christan
You and I seem to be in the same boat, after reading the grumbling I read my first Forum to get a handle on what is going on. I intend to keep on keeping on. I guess I havn't experienced the "nasty" stuff. Anyway
Love your image - your "friend" seems to be telling you something. Super clarity on the little guys "clothing" Well done my friend.

Dan

Hello Christan!

You ran from this cute thing and his friends? An excellent image Christan and very well suited to your notes. Good colour and POV and the detail in the fur remarkable,

Great expression captured. Nice rich colours. Good DoF. The yellow flowers in the BG are a nice touch. The claw and fur details are great.
I wonder (but I don't know) if flipping the image would work even better??? Just a thought.

Hi Christan,

When I joined TL I did not know much about computers, nor could I send an e-mail, so my niece advised me, whatever you do, don't enter forums, so I almost always follow that advice. But then I got e-mails telling me that one person is insulting another one or what do I think - well, I think nothing, I also just enjoy making pictures and cherish friendships, and while doing that I seem to learn a bit every day.
TFS this excellent picture, good choise of Fstop to create the best possible DOF and those intelligent eyes catch the lught in a nice way.

Nice shot, I also like the background with yellow flowers it does contribute to the compo.
As of "forum thing", I do share your oppinion.
Keep well.
