Doesn't seem that long ago that I cited Pat for passing 5000 comments (February actually) and now he's gone and passed 7500. Besides his expertise in critique Pat has become a master of natural indoor light. Some of his recent postings have been among the most compelling images of the year. Continued thanks Pat for your part in the finest Flora gallery on the planet.>=))>

Thanks Bill and all,

While I certainly learn from the comments on my images, I think I learn more by looking at other images and trying to verbalize what I like/dislike about them. Going back then and comparing to other comments is about as good away to develop an aesthetic as I can think of. I guess that's a long way of saying I get a lot out of it.

While until now I was only familiar with you ESS images, I can see you're a prolific poster with a keen eye for light and composition. Congrats.
