Please don't think I'm disrespecting anyone, I know as much as the next person that it's hard to find good photos - if I could I wouldn't need to call for pictures.
I'm also learning, and still learning - hey I only started in the weekend

and yeah not all small photos aren't compressed, many are, and they're hard to do - certainly above my current skill level, I'm nowhere near as good as the others that do these kinds of pictures.
To all the contributers - my hats off - there have been some lovely pictures - I just can't work them
Most pictures I run through what I call my litmus test - a quick test to see if I can "see" anything - and if I can, I place it in my to try box.
From there, I play around
I'm loving this - and really happy that people have posted - it's made my day that they think I'm good enough to actually do this
