So happy to have found you

I didn't see an "Introduction" board, and I didn't see any introduction posts at a quick glance, and so maybe you guys don't do this, so maybe this is very inappropriate, but I just really wanted to tell you that I am so happy to have found this site. I joined with a trial membership a few days ago and today I asked for my payment to go ahead and be processed. I don't know why, but I never realized there would be a place just for nature photography with actual nature photographers to talk to and learn from. I appreciate the owners, administrators, moderators and members. Thank you for being here!

Hi Barbara
Welcome to NPN. It's a good place where the folks are friendly and helpful - and many a talented, skilled, and knowledgeable photographer hangs out here. You're sure to like it.

Perfectly appropriate Barbara and a very nice sentiment that I expect will be appreciated across the board.

Welcome Barbara. You will find lots of really good people here with tremendous skills. It is a great place to learn and a fun group to get to know.

Barbara,

Welcome to NPN! Definitely appropriate to post here and encouraged! I can only repeat what's been said so far - a great community of talented and generous photographers. Glad to have you here and we look forward to your images and participation.

Welcome aboard Barbara. I think you will find NPN to be one of the friendliest and most helpful resources available today. Can't wait to view your work.

Hello, and welcome to NPN, Barbara. I see from your first post here that you're located in Florida. We see some outstanding work from the strong contingent of photographers from that area, and we look forward to you joining in on the posts as well as commenting on others work too. Nice to have met you on-line here.

Welcome to NPN, Barbara. I look forward to your photos and your comments. You won't find a more helpful or friendlier group on the Web.

Welcome!
I'm looking forward to your images and participation.
It's a great community that will help you improve, as they did me.
Your comments and criticisms of other's images are welcome also - we all learn and grow from each other here.

Welcome, Barbara NPN has been a tremendous asset to me over the years. Not only is it a great site for photogs but the cyber friendships are great too. So, enjoy the site and we look forward to seeing your work!

Welcome to NPN, Barbara You won't regret your decision to join. This is a great community and place to learn. I can't tell you how much I've learned about photography in the last 3 years since I've joined and how my work has improved because of the feedback I get. Also, I think I've learned more by critiquing the images of others than from the comments made on my own work, because looking at someone else's images and stating what I like (or don't) makes me look more critically at what I do. So don't be shy to jump in and say what you think, even if you don't feel you are "qualified" or don't have a lot to offer. I look forward to seeing your work here.

Welcome Barbara. When I joined a few months ago I also posted an introduction, so don't feel alone. I have found this site to be outstanding for the friendly but honest insights you get when you post a photo or question. In just a few months I have had more help than I can possibly recount. Can't wait to see some of your work!

Welcome to NPN, Barbara! This is such a great resource. I continue to grow and learn in my photography through participation here. Lots of friendly advice as well as opportunities to contribute to the community by posting photos and sharing your thoughts, too. Will look forward to seeing more of your work.

Barbara, welcome to NPN. This is a great bunch of people and the only place I know of that we all can get good, honest, but non-condecending advice from some of the best professional and amateur photographers around.

Welcome, Barbara! I'm a relatively new member too and have never regretted joining. You'll get to know a great group of people and see some wonderful photography.

Greeting Barbara---there a few of us Grahams around NPN!

Thank you all for welcoming me! :)
