I beleive originality has a part to play in photography.

Emmanuel is a good photographer - very good by all accounts - but not the best who entered the competition. Nor is his photograph the best that entered the competition. You obviously disagree.

You're not going to become the first landscape photography multi-millionaire, you're unlikely to lauded in the annals of history as a photographic visionary ( those days are gone ), you're not going to save the planet ( yes I know who Peter Dombrovskis is ), but you might make somebody smile. Is that so bad a reward? :D
You would have said the same thing to Steiglitz I'm sure. (I should have added the ;-) at the end of this - it wasn't meant as a direct insult, nor a comparison between myself an Steiglitz (as if!), just a pointed barb)

OK lads, I think you have said what you had to: let's not get personal. Unless there is anything new to say, can I suggest we leave it at that?
