Saeed . . . I like this shot . . . it feels moody and gives me a feeling like I'm actually there!

Teerak claims to be " . . . 300 years advance, qualification wise . . . " I'd have to say Wow . . . and be willing to bet she doesn't look a day over 120! :) It is a shame she hasn't spent that 300 years working on her social skills . . . how to be polite for example. It would have served her better I'm sure.

Very sorry to hear about your mother . . . like so many of life's adventures . . . on this last, great adventure, she precedes us too.

Best wishes my friend,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Dear Ms. Gayle Hardman:

Thank you for the business email, I will not write to you, as I am just a lady like you are, and I do not prefer going into this kind of business, more over it is not any more safe these days

I like the selective focus here, Saeed. The mountains have a beautiful softness effect that adds to the mood of this image together with the somewhat dramatic sky. The row or trees on top of the left mountain are an extra interesting and beautiful detail
Superbly composed and captured. Congratulations!
I'm very sorry to hear that your mother recently passed away. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Best regards - Emgy

Teerak,or whatever your real name is...
haa bpaa......mai soo phaap...luaang geern...thang sa!

You wrote: "I also do not blame you for that poor English of yours, as English do not belong to you. I wish, you would write something in your own language"...since i am NATIVE AMERICAN,ENGLISH IS CERTAINLY MY FIRST LANGUAGE...you continue to show your ignorance with each statement....

Rather than wasting time insulting members,you could be out shooting to practice and learn more

You are not fooling many of us...you are not the only member from Doha...er, Pattaya here at UF

This is the last reply on this image page i will leave for you...if you have anything further to say to me,send to my email at goodeyephotos@yahoo.com (my business email)

First of all dear Saeed iam so sorry about this sad news regarding your mother, please forgive me not to take notice of that earlier, I feel so sorry, and believe in me that I never wanted to be hard on you, that was not my intention, I posted a comment there, something I have calculated and believed in, it might not be as good as you wanted it to be, but that the way I did find it most suitable.

Dear Ms. Gayle Hardman, I have no problem reading and understanding the sort of English you write here, dead easy for an educated Thai lady to deal with this, I also do not blame you for that poor English of yours, as English do not belong to you. I wish, you would write something in your own language, so I do live your culture and tradition, your way of life and your past if you do have one.

You need a kuwi yai yai, well that’s some thing a Thai lady do not have, so please try to find it some where else

Regards Dear Saeed and if you ever visited Thailand I would love to meet you there.

Dear Saeed,my heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your mother...may she rest in peace....

i have just moved and not sure how soon i will return...ignore he/she? (difficult to know who is behind alias accounts) Teerak's comments as he/she also leaves ridiculous rants on others images to the point of harrassment and complaints are being filed against him/her...

i like the perspective,ominous dark cloud cover with the fog, and the punctuation of Autumnal color....how exciting to be able to travel to exotic places...peace, gayle

Learning photography from me Saeed is of no shame to you, I am at least 300 years advance, qualification wise, where photography is concerned than you are, just learn through what I post here. For sure not a snap shooting, I mean point and shoot.

Seems that we have been there around the same time, Saeed. Isn't it an amazing building. And if you take the right side, you are quite alone. Nice mood and colors.

Regards, Markus, and have a look at my last upload;)

Fadel J Fadel J   {K:13974} 11/11/2006
Very nice shot Saeed, did you just came back from China? welcome back if so!
Regarding Teerak's comment, I don't see any obviuos "digital playing", sounds to me more of a personal thing than a real critique :)

Teerak Prathan Teerak Prathan   {K:1571} 11/11/2006
In few hours, there might be more than 20 comments posted here, in which are all given this image a perfect ending.

Well, to me this is not the case at all, in simple terms this image is out of focus and well played with digitally, which makes a great fun out of it.

This is what called the luck of photographic educations, skill and knowledge.

Take it or leave it, that’s all up to you.

Have a nice day
