[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 494941, member: 14174"] Its a difficult decision to make but i made it for myself a long time ago,my images are not influenced by any one as far as i know,obviously they are but not knowingly,there is only one person i have to please and i would never do that if i chased others styles,the perfect bird picture is a pose with smooth rich bokeh in the back ground,the places i go its impossible to get that deliberately,i get it on occasion but thats as much luck as any thing. Yes by all means look at others images but as you cant get into there mind or be the places they are at the times they are, its not going to happen,be your own photographer,take what pleases you,yes we all want our images to be liked but not at the cost of losing our individuality as photographers. I suppose ime not serious about my photography ime too happy doing it to get serious:Di accept that often shows in my work but i repeat i take pictures to be happy,when ime not the camera will go and the fishing gear will come out.
