Wow - very nice! And nice award gif, Ernie - thanks! I'll admit I'm a serial commenter. I just can't stop. :-)
And as a friendly public service reminder, you can check comments received on your Profile page - click on the blue number next to "Comments Received" and voila! If you're one of those who marks comments as helpful to keep track of them, you can also use the little drop down menu there to choose only those comments not marked helpful to see if you missed any. (I often wander through older stuff in portfolios so you may have comments you didn't know about.)
Add me to the ranks of appreciative.......I got my first comment on my patterns shot from Deb, which was another of her "I really love my shot" gang threads where she said "She really loves my shot.".
She's kind, thoughtful, insightful, and incisive in her commenting and I'm proud to consider her as a friend.
She's always got terrific viewpoints, quite often about aspects of images that never occur to me, and she can comment even on the most abysmal attempt that I make with creative, constructive, helpful commentary.
Congrats, Deb, on a well-deserved, and long overdue IMO, award.
You are one of the very important and loved reasons to make DPC a part of a photographer's life.
