Without prejudice, that is much worse.

I never said I was any better. I have never made any claims about my
ability, or lack of it. Perhaps I am even worse than the OP, or don't
ever shoot images at all.

Either way, you will never know.

Meanwhile, my level of competence, or lack of it, is not needed as a
yardstick to determine the OP's level of competence. It is clear to
anyone except a fool that the OP is grossly incompetent.

Your words betray you - you can only be that fool.


(Welcome to my kill file, by the way. No reply needed.)

Let's turn it around. Why don't you tell us what you are trying to show us,
what you like about the picture, and what you don't like. -- Doug

So kill file him and put him out of your misery. There is still no need to
insult him. -- Doug

I can kill file him, but there are too many people replying to him to
add to my kill file. There are too many threads to kill file. I
suppose some people might want to spend their whole time online kill
filing people, but I am not one of them.


>There is still no need to insult him.


There is no need for him to insult everyone with his incompetent
snapshots.

There's a place for that. It is called the Shoot-In, or SI for short,
and the OP could make a worthy contribution, perhaps even raising the
standard:
