Thanks Flying Lawyer, I never meant that I'd "remove" my pictures from view, just to remove myself from the competition if it makes some feel better.
I don't give a $H!T about winning anything. I'm here cause I love Photography.
As you mentioned, I also log in to this site to see the great pics from all over the world, Keep them coming !!
Oh, and I'm using an old relic 3.34 MP Nikon Coolpix 995 camera, a simple point and shoot device that's actually quite outdated.
Just wait and see some images if I find the $$ buy that spiffy new 6 MP Nikon D-70 SLR Digital. MMMMMMMM can't wait!!
