40D GETS A HUMMER!

After months and months of a long dry spell, I guess I don't have to
tell you how good it feels to get your first hummer of the year!

Congrats!! What a joy it must have been!
She looks like an angel the way you captured that moment in time. I
can really feel a sense of movement looking at those wings. I know
how hard it is to shoot these fast moving birds, so I commend you for
an excellent job! Lovely detail in the feathers.

Two things are as sure as death and taxes: 1) If Bret links to a
photo, it'll be good. 2) If Bret links to a photo, Helen will follow
with one of her gushing, better-than-a-spoon to make you gag posts.

It's nice to have one's personal claque, but I would think a
restraining order is called for.

It's called sock puppetry. There are times when Bret, I mean "Helen, sock
of Bret" has posted a gusher and it reached the news servers minutes before
Bret's plastic art has ever been seen. I haven't decided what's worse, the
gush or the time he had a back woods FUCK PAW and posted as "Helen" from his
Tennessee account. It's all fun but sad at the same time.

The definition of a "claque" is a group of persons hired to applaud an
act or performer.
Since I do not get paid nor am I asked to give such "gushing"
critique, I'd say you're dead wrong with your assumption.
FYI I give critique from the heart. It's honest. If it makes you
gag, so be it. Don't read what I say or better yet killfile me.
FWIW, I am merely a drop in the bucket of fans that Bret has. I am no
more special than them.

I know exactly what a "claque" is, Helen.

So you say.

Bret's stuff is good enough that he doesn't need to hire or persuade
anyone to follow his posts with soppy praise. The fact that you
always turn up to fawn over his latest, though, does hint at something
a bit beyond normal appreciation of a photo by a disinterested
outsider. Especially since you don't offer similar critiques of other
poster's efforts.

The actual effect of your excessive praise it to think "It wasn't
*that* good".

Just because your head hurts when you think doesn't mean everyone has that
problem.

The only bit of truth in your post is that Bret's work is great. But
it's your cynicism that destroyed anything honest and beautiful that
was meant on my part regarding his work.

Helen has often asked me if I thought she should let up on the gushing
praise of my pics. She is always worried about doing anything that
would hurt me. I always tell her to post whatever she wants and don't
worry about what others think. So if Helen gets satisfaction in
making her posts then who am I to argue? Maybe someday I'll post one
and she'll say, "That one really sucks!"
I would think no less of her if she did. I like to feel that I can
take any valid critique from anyone.
That's how we learn, ya know.

Your pic wasn't a manger scene until I improved it. It was just a
black mess.
You can thank me later, sweetie.
