Thanks for the "Rule of thirds" contest fave!

I received a private message from a colleague this site, very strange by the way, telling me to take care with the comments that I do - especially with the praise - and I clearly know this will always take my photos for the last place, I do not care and I'm not here to win or lose but learn and make friends. I think we are free to make good comments that make people get excited and do not give up or lose interest in photography or for participation here. Sure, help improve, but there are ways and ways to talk things out. No need to put this post in the photo as competitor, thus influencing the other vote. I know many are here only for the competition and are really playing with people, playing without any scruples and their only purpose is to make that the photos will be deleted or receive bad grades. In this way, many good photos are at the end and the other start. Ok, some deserve first places.. I'm not generalizating. Look, I'm not talking about my work - my photos, and I do not care if after this post I will be deleted from the site. I just believe that certain standards have to be reviewed here. A good week for everyone. And if I will be deleted ... I stay with good friends that I met here.

thank you for ur fav in Shoes 2 contest

Hmm... I've looked and looked and do not see a delete button for getting rid of contest entries. I'm also having Javascript problems with my browser and am unable to check my private messages on this site. For now, I'm assuming the two problems are related...

Thanks for the Fav

Hi Jason, thank you for your kind words. I was very lucky that day in london... Sometimes the bad weather is even better that the good one
I also like your picture in the contest and i think that both of our pictures could land up on one of the front courts.
I am glad to see other motivated photographers here on PXLeyes.
Keep on your good work!

I didn't feel slighted - I'm sorry if I gave that impression. I guess I forgot to say: "Thank you"? I appreciate all comments when they are respectful and yours certainly were and helpful too, which is a plus

Fair enough... you have three uploads available to you for each contest just submit a new entry and then delete the old one. I have seen some of your other work and I think you have some really great art to offer, don't get discouraged by my comments, it wasn't meant as a slight by any means and its just a matter or time before you own one of these comps.

Re: Your recent comment on my avocado pic. That's OK, I never win these things anyway and that apple core photo was an embarrassment to humanity - I just had to change it after I got a bunch of really cool produce pics from a local farm. I'm new to the site, btw, so if there was a way to get rid of the apple photo entry and start over fresh with the avocado, I don't know about it. I just did what I knew to do...
