Great idea putting the worst pic on the cover.

I guess the only thing that spews out of you is negativity. I sure get tired
of hearing the same old thing.

I just call them as I see them.  Tell you what ... I'll try to be
positive.
How's this?  I'm POSITIVE that pic sucked!

How about posting the image straight? It looks like a tourist snap
shot. No subject, overly bright colors. I wonder if a horizonal shot
would have been better or is the calender a vertical calendar?
 Would love to see the other images or at least a select few to get
an over all feel for what the calender is about. Also is this a
selection of Douglas' or Julian's or a colaboration?

I understand they are each releasing identical calendars and only they
can tell them apart.

Well if the rest isn't any better than the "cover", then it's no
wonder the folks "down under" think their photography is so good.

 When people don't have a choice then they get what they deserve.

Doug was right about you Draco.
Just another loud mouthed bragard.
Did we ever get to see any of your photos, BTW?

"Guido" is of course Douglas.

And forgive me for saying this, Draco (grin) - you are one of the
kindest and most graceful posters/critiquers here, so if even *you*
don't like the cover, then I think Douglas really needs to have a bit
of a think about his cover shot.

I must admit, when I first saw that link, I thought it was someone
taking the p|$$ again, or another of those posts where Douglas later
says:
" I deliberately posted that to see who all the trolls are.."

But it seems he *seriously * thinks that image is worthy of a calendar
cover.  Oh well, if you can't say something nice...

(embarrassing silence)

And Faz, what do *you* think of the image? - give a genuine critique
please.

As I accurately foresaw, not only DID Douglas use the old "I was just
trolling" excuse, he also stole my "if you can't say anything nice"
line.  Refer:

Predictable is our Douglas (who again busts his "Julian" identity on
that thread).. and nary an original thought.

Off topic, just more proof that Julian/Guido is Douglas.

"Bragard" (sic) is an unusual word for a Samoan to use.  But then he
also misspelled it...

Now, who else misspells "braggart"?  Can anyone guess?

(Pixby is another Douglas MacDonald alias, natch.)

So now we have Douglas, Julian and now Guido all identically
misspelling 'incredable', 'continious', 'concieted', 'explaination'
and 'bragard'.  It's no wonder they are such close friends with
identical attitudes on all matters - they are just like peas in a
pod.  How cute they all are!!!

G'nite Douglas.

Guido? Is it? Well "Guido" Doug hasn't been right for some time now.
His posts have been full of diatribe and viciousness that goes beyond
common courtesy or just plain sense. When have I ever Bragged about
any of my work, sir? When have I been overtly load mouthed about my
own images? You must mistaken me for Julian or Ryadia.
 As for my images, one day I will post them once I go to the dark
side of photography. Digital. ;-}
