SW,

Small farts (meow!) are soon overwhelmed by prevailing breezes.

Good pics!

db,
Is there ANY way you could run a series of El_Tigre's POD"s ?
I think if he wants to be a critic, he should be able too take what he dish's out!
Better yet, how about a Mexican Death Match between the "UNMASKED" wrestler in Jimbo's Jimboree pic and the Tigre ?
Loser shuts up for good about the PODS Wink

We all have our opinions about the POD's. Sometimes we express them, and sometimes we don't.  I guess we could say sometimes we sound off and sometimes we shut up.   Grin

El_Tigre is entitled to his opinions, but I agree that I would enjoy seeing some of his photos as POD's, and identified as his, since he seems to consider himself quite an expert, and he has said in the past that he has submitted photos that were used as POD's.  Since we don't know his name, I can only assume that we have seen them and not realized who El_Tigre was.  I suspect that I would enjoy his photography, and we all know that they would be robust northwoods scenes--none of that itty-bitty nature stuff!  Wink 

The interesting thing for me about Starwatcher/Karl's recent series of photos is that it has gone from the large--gorgeous landscapes and water scenes, portage scenes in October, color shots--to the small--a single leaf highlighted against a background of the fall brown.  It takes a certain amount of artistry to see all of that, not just the overall picture, but the pieces that make up the puzzle as well.  And photographing all of it well is also a challenge.

I have already congratulated Karl on this series of photos.  I especially liked the waterfall perspective with the rocks in the foreground, and a couple of the color shots, but I also thought the red leaf was beautiful.

Keep 'em coming, db!   Smiley

I think I did see a tiger shot in POD resently. It was nice. Sunset, lake, and shoreline shot. I even might have commented. (It was nice too, just checked.)
But really, why the negative and closed mind. Nothing wrong with the shots he's complaining about IMHO. I guess he's intitled to his own opinion. I'm just hoping tiger can expand his appreciation of simpler motifs.

Here's a concept for the artist.
Still life; orange trowel, white paper on roll, cat  Grin

Let him search for meaning. No help please. Cool

Actually the maple leaf raises a question I have about the maple trees in the Q. Mostly they seem more like bushes than trees. Is it just the limit of their range or are they different? I've seen very few at even a modest height.

No, Jim J, that was LeTigre, not El_Tigre.  Two different persons.  And it was a nice photo.  That tiger has had several nice POD's.

We all react to the PODs -- some we like and some we don't like.

Fortunately, most of us control ourselves, and compliment when we see something nice and keep SILENT when we see a pic that doesn't impress us.  We try not to be judgmental, because we understand beauty and art is personal, and who are we to judge?  This approach is based on humility and maturity, among other things. 

El_Tigre: I would tell you to grow up, but I'm not sure you get it. 

I'm irritated for responding to this.  It's exactly what the little person wants -- attention.  I suggest we ignore future stupid comments when they occur again, as they inevitably will.

Sad.  Pathetic.  Ridiculous.
