| weeeelll now that you mention it i think that you should judge on content alone because life is beautiful and people always try and its really mean and it will totally hurt their feelings to give them a low score even if its a picture of something really pretty like a butterfly... or a unicorn. |

Noooo, first he must enter a challenge so he can experience voting. Then he can think of a suggestion.
Welcome Dave! Hope you like it here
((And don't listen to anything we say here on this thread besides the welcoming part :-P)) |

LOL! I tried entering a unicorn, but it was DQ'd for photoshopping the horn on. Then I tried again and it got hammered by voters because they thought it was cruel to hot glue the horn on a horse. Ya can't win around here. :-/ |

What else can I add? Oh, yes. Make sure to crank your ISO way up to 1600, so that you can get that nice "artistically grainy look" that nobody appreciates. Also, make sure to save it with a very small file size so that I can leave one of my comments about JPEG compression. If I can't leave at least 3 of those in a challenge, I go away feeling unfullfilled.
Oh, and welcome to the phunny pharm. Jump into the shark tank, the water is fine. |

I may be from California, but even I know that just moving to Austin doesn't make one "a Texan." ;-) |

Welcome to TX Dave, you godless, hippy, liberal! ;~p
You will love this dysfunctional little family. We are notorious for family feuds, teaching lessons (sometimes unasked for), having fun and helping whenever we can with whatever we can. Our family is special in many ways and we're glad you want to be a part of it. Have fun, learn, participate and again, welcome!!!
(See Lori...I refrained from the FRESH MEAT comment, muahahaha!) |

One can be a naturalized Texan. About the time you utter your first "Y'all", it's happened. |

Well, since we have the overproccessed HDR challenge starting in a day, that should be evident. |

Nothing of greater value than smug self-satisfaction. |
