[QUOTE="Nero, post: 470923, member: 14723"] He's a Youtube-celebrity. This is exactly what I expected him to be like. Most (notice I say most, not all) these days think they're somehow on a higher level than everyone else and that their opinion is basically the truth no matter what just because their Youtube channel has some big numbers on it, it's especially funny when he talks about a type of photography he obviously doesn't have much experience or skill in (which as others have said, is wildlife). :P I've seen some much humbler photographers take better photos than these (many of them are members of this forum.) This is basically why I don't waste time watching most major Youtubers. As for the image itself, it's nice but the fact he gives himself such a major pat on the back and calls it "mind-blowing" yet uploads it in B&W leads me to believe it's not as amazing as he wants people to believe. I know lots of people love the B&W look but we all know it can be used to hide some things that make an image look not as good as it could be. If the image is so great, why not show it in all it's colorful glory? Deleting comments is always a source of suspicion as well. [/QUOTE]
