It's good luck to see a bluebird. Beautiful capture Bret. Very
vibrant color and razor sharp. Appropriate title for the second pic
"Guardian", as they are very territorial.
Great work, thanks for sharing and hope the legend of seeing a
bluebird is true for you.

Still can't get one to fill the frame without all that severe cropping and
plasticizing? And what the fuck is all that photoshopped shit in the
background of the second one? That's so unlike you to be that sloppy with
your composites.

The weight of being a thief weighs heavily on 'his' shoulders.

I've looked at Annika's work on pbase, and I think he is an incredibly
TALENTED artist and photographer. He has earned his bragging rights.
The proof is there for all to see.
He has an impressive amount of portfolios, and his work has been
viewed by one million, 8 hundred thousand viewers, unless, he ran
those numbers up himself ( I doubt it ).

The point is somewhat moot.
If Mother Theresa were a plagiarist would we think differently about her
work with the poor? Then again, would that work make her any less of a
plagiarist?
Apples and oranges or, in this case, photographer and thief.

so please point out the stolen pictures.
and Mother Teresa was nothing more than a whore for the Catholic church, and
is quoted as saying that living in poverty was a blessing from God, guess
where the tens of millions of dollars she raised went, yes that's right, the
money was all sent back to the Catholic Church coffers in Rome, after all
you cannot expect the Pope to travel "Business"

This is my picture. The slime ball downloaded it, lightened the manger
scene area, then he put it on *his* web page as his own work.
When I called him on it, he got abusive. A few days later he must have
gotten sick of the bad publicity and he took it down.
If I hadn't said anything in these groups, he'd still be claiming it as
his own.

Bullshit. I posted it in my "Testing" gallery and posted a link to it
here.
I even offered to fix your original for you. Fuck me for being so
nice.
Here is the entire thread.
* tinyurl . com /5mjc7f
Note your original post attacking me. "Don't start none, won't be
none."
It is true that my original re-posting of that pic carried no
desciption or attribution.
I thought none was needed since the only people seeing the pic would
have come from my link here. Then you mouthed off about it ... and
you've been mouthin off about it since XMAS of 2006. Get over it.

When I first saw that image I thought, what a nice sunset. Then Bret
cleaned it up a bit and showed the manger scene in the lower left hand
side. Made a big difference in the feel of the image.
Then he even offered to do the same on the original image for the
original photographer and return the new image along with the
original. As far as I can see, Bret offered help to another
photographer to improve the image and got his head handed to him.
The attacks on Bret seemed to me a bit over the top and with just
to much whining. The image had been removed from the listing that Bret
had done and that should have been the end of it. Maybe Bret did step
over bounds a bit. But this continuing attacks on him and his personal
images seems to be just freaking juvenile.

Look dimwit, the following is NOT an attack. I was being civilized.

You obviously missed the part where I asked why my name wasn't on it.
AND the following emails where you started swearing at me.
Not only are you a thief, but apparently also a liar.
My first mention of your posting:
===================================================
As an aside, wouldn't some sort of attribution be in order?
* w w w .pbase . com /bret/image/72067191
May lead people to believe the photographer isn't who it actually is.
mike II
====================================================
This thing can end in a number of ways.
1) You sincerely apologize publicly for your screw up and not do it
again and I shut up about it from now on,
or
2) I follow you around for the rest of your days, reminding people what
a thief and liar you are.
Your call. Think about it carefully before beaking off, Foghorn.

You said this in your orignal post when you posted the pic:
"As will be quickly noticed, much like Annika's shots, no attempt at
composition or artistic merit was attempted."
I consider that an attack. Once you lob the first volley, it's on.
So you shouldn't be bitching about whatever happens next.
As for me apologizing ..... yeah, hold your breath.
So I guess you'll have to stalk me from now on. You can get in line
behind the others.

"If I posted crap like that
I wouldn't want anyone to see it either. However, even your weak
effort can be rescued with a bit of Photoshop magic:"
I too would be pissed with you Brett, you may be a good photographer but
your certainly no angel.
