Jun 1, 2016		     I didn't see the comment but if Steve wished to withdraw it, it is his perogative. I agree with Steve, sounds like damned if you do and damned if you don't. No matter what was said, I wouldn't take it personally (I hope!). I tend to talk straight up and respect someone who does the same, and even if the comment was personal, it's no big deal. So long what is said is sincere, even a hurtful comment should give one reason to pause on second thought to consider what was said and why; to ponder if there is any truth in it. Steve and I have spoken quite directly in the forum and I respect him because of the dialogue we've had. He has always impressed me as sincere. I doubt anything he said would change my opinion or my respect for him. Of course, I don't know what he said, haha! But I do hope this will suffice as the last word, Neil. No arguments, no winners. : )

Jun 1, 2016		     Oh dear! No sensible response? I take it I have won the argument ;-)
SteveBee
Jun 1, 2016		     Oh dear! This is shocking and unpleasant and controversial and deleted. Let’s make a fuss about it.
A.N.Other
Jun 1, 2016		     Why would you be 'damned if you do'?

if "Controversial" IS in the eye of the beholder then let us behold your comment to myself and Jade O unchanged so we can make make our own minds as to if they were controversial or not.

I showed your comment about Jade O to my wife and she was shocked to say the least, so I think I was fair in calling it unpleasant if not controversial too.
SteveBee
Jun 1, 2016		     So damned if you do, damned if you don't. "Controversial" is in the eye of the beholder.

Jun 1, 2016		     SteveBee - I see you have removed your unpleasant comment to Jade O, and your controversial response to my comment before people had a chance to read them. It's a shame you didn't have the courage of your convictions and leave them there :-( .

May 31, 2016		     Beautiful view through - light is handled well. I like the added interest with the inclusion of the girl. In my tt.
mrsawyer
May 31, 2016		     THis would have been a good shot without the human in the frame. As it is, she adds a sense of dimension and interest which elevates the quality of the photo.

So, share the details!!!

May 31, 2016		     I like it. Maybe figure a little too central and a bit of burning in of the sea/sky. I have just noticed your PP notes, so I will be unable to vote on either of your entries. A shame.

May 29, 2016		     A great subject for the theme, nicely taken.
Lo
May 29, 2016		     What a beautiful place to be. Excellent work bringing out the colour in the rocks. I think the figure lends scope, but I find her blocking my view - as in I wish she were seated, or at the side.
Old Finn
May 29, 2016		     Suits well to the topic. Nice place. In my favorites.

May 28, 2016		     It is not often a figure downgrades an image but it is here for me. Superfluous imposition of an uninteresting (and uninterested figure - her back is facing us) detracts from the beauty of the arch and the vista beyond.
RobertLavker
May 28, 2016		     Well done. You made all the right decisions.
Mepo
May 27, 2016		     Very attractive shot from first viewing. I find my attention distracted by the bright and colourful rock strata on the left. I also wonder what the metal bars are at the bottom right. What I like most is when my eye is drawn through the arch to the wonderful turquoise sea beyond.
forkcandles
May 27, 2016		     the arch being offset gives size to the picture with the human element framed.
ysal
May 27, 2016		     Very nice composition.
BarbroS
May 27, 2016		     Great textures and shades of colours in those rocks, and a perfect view for the challenge.
davemisunas
May 27, 2016		     Nice work pulling out the color in rocks while keeping the sky from blowing out. focus cropping lighting right on.. in my TT.
Edward
May 27, 2016		     Fresh image; nicely composed and detailed.
