Hey Mate! No worries...I spell Marny both ways so there is no real wrong way, though Marny is more common than the alternative. )

 . Love your reply Doyle and to be sure I love you too in a cornflake crunching blood soaked boxing ring sort of way .
Rina pops in from time to time and it is a while since she did, hope she comes back again. She would love to see you my friend. Avi is still about but rarely ever pops in to see me now. A few others from the past haven't bothered to re-acquaint despite my efforts. Hey ho! It's good to see that some of the old stalwarts have remembered and we all comment backwards and forwards.
Doyle (and Marny) forgive me but I have been spelling Marny as Marnie Very best wishes to you both my mate.......Ray (not stingray)

Oh StingRay! Thank you SO much for the welcome. This wee lad is not my grandson, merely a guest. He was pensive...and I thought a perfect choice for the innocence project.
I know what you're saying and you and I agree. Photography is a personal vision. A shot MAY be able to be improved...while the shooter remains steadfast not doing so. Only twice...this time with Avi and once with Rina have I opted to consider and revise. I always listen and think about the advice for future shots...but usually spend a lot of time deciding what I want for the current shot before I post...and I'm reticent to make changes.
It's been a while...and though my photog skills haven't atrophied...I can see my lack of the critiques from the skilled people here have made me a tad lazy. HERE...here, I can hone my skills yet again.
Dude...I hope all is well with you and yours...seriously. I've always considered us to be mates on two sides of one pond...well...and a few thousand miles of land! LoL!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks Stingray.
There are, indeed, others. I wass in no mood to photograph my father's services. I had my camera, but could not use it. I tried for Marny's Dad...and did well...until the military shots echoed...and the memories of my own father's services enveloped me. Still, it was somewhat easier.

Hey Doyle! Fantastic shot! Love the expression and the crop - as has been said already - very impactful capture - IMHO! I'm just getting back to catching up with everyone's work again - been away too long too. I hope you're well! Cheers, Jo

First my Dear friend, StingRay...we missed you. Now you miss us. Sometimes it seems life teams up with fate to challenge us. It looks like we'll be together here again, like the...umm...olden days.
You're right...as was Avi. I did not wish to burn, but the tighter crop works well for me and the good part about this site and my friends who comment is that they have, from time to time managed to point out something VERY helpful. Dear Rina SO helped me with a shot of Jenna too. I love that.
You're right my friend. A shot need not be perfect. It needs to be (if it's mine) something I am proud to claim as mine. Still...I really don't mind people suggesting what THEY would have done. I love that. I may not agree, but it gives us a fresh look. Sometimes, for example, I might see something in a shot that I adore because it captures my subject in a way that people who do not know my subject could not understand. I know you know this already.
Thank you so much for the welcome back...I know there will be those, especially after a long absence, that might forget me, just as there are those, like yourself, that would never forget me. I love you buddy...in a pizza eating, American football kinda' way! All my (and Marny's) best to you and yours!

Doyle I <~~~~~
