Nice to see you back some. Seems like you've been gone for a little while.

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.

Dear Dimistris,
First of all , for me is a pleasure to have you on my friends. Also, I have to told you that since I was I child I love your country and culture, perhaps someday I have a chance to go there. As I wrote in one of your great photos, you are an artist, not only a photographer. Your compositions are full of details and contructions are very creative. I have also to thank you a lot because even if you are a great photographer and artist, you spend your time trying to help us to increase our compositions and not only writing negative points, this is great and special nowadays where the most part of people wants only to take advantages. You are a very special person. Thank you!

What a oversight that I didn't send a friend request first a long time ago. Your images and setup's are really amazing and someday I'll seriously try to eminulate your shots. But in the meanwhile many thanks for your friend request. I'll just keep looking forward to your work.

thank you for your SBS ...helps alot

EGAD -- cannot belive I have not been to your profile to comment on your amazing work. Your lighting and eye for composition are stunning. Always a pleasure to see your images.

You are not going to make this easy, r u, lol. =)

Dimetris,I've tried some lighting setup's to produce effects similar to your images on my rope entry with no success. I've always shot with natural light and know little about studio setup (I shot outdoors at night last night). For my learning process, can you recommend the type lamp I should purchase with the broadest usage. I only have a white light continuous fluorescents and one speed light. Sad, but true ! You're the best at this setup. Any suggestions.

Your photography is absolutely stunning! What camera do you use? I have taken up photography as a hobby lately. Excellent work!

Congratulations, Dimitris...

You've been my inspiration about the Low-Key Lighting. I'm applying your techniques into my digital drawing skills. Hope you'll find my works as close as your great photographic skills, bur right now, I'm still learning to boost up my images with the contrast.

Thanks a lot for comment and fav. Much appreciated

Congratulations on all your wins!

Great creativity, wonderful work!

Fantastic style.

WOW!! your work is just great! Your portfolio speaks for itself. You are very inspiring to me seeing that I am new on this site! Can't wait to see what else you have in store!

I would like to thank you for only submitting two entries in the nail theme.
Honestly I am honored to be 3rd behind your entries. Truly.
I would also like to mention, besides that you are the best photographer on this site. More importantly when you give criticism, It is positive, and followed with good advise.
I hope I didn't feed any ego.
Seriously, I wanted to take a moment to tell you my thoughts and show my respect.
