Darin's reviews (was Re: PhotoForum Member Exhibits 19 Aug 2006)

[trevor cunningham <tr_cunningham@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to second this sentiment on your reviews Darin.  Not that I downplay any other responses (including my very infrequent, if not trivial, reviews), I just respect the detail you include.

Your input provides a depth and level of communication I haven't seen on this list in a while and I truly hope you don't get frustrated by any lack of balanced response or participation.  Your responses are thoughtful and i believe that i learn from them.

keep posting...trevor

PS: this is in no way a criticism of list participation, simply an observation of recent activity that is completely in line with the educational element of the list

Darin,

Thanks for the thorough review of my gallery posting this week.

What I find particularly interesting/useful with this review, and those
you've made of other postings this week or previous weeks, is the extent to
which you go into the picture and deconstruct from both/both the technical
perspective (e.g. light, focus, color balance, etc...) and the content
perspective (i-e significance of the image). So once again, thanks for your
comments.

Regards,

Guy
