I just noticed that Tony has now exceeded 20,000 comments!!! That's tremendous, and a grand testimony to a photog who has advanced post processing and helped MANY other photographers with his helpful actions, advice, and comments. A huge thank you goes to Tony Kuyper, NPN member since 2003!!

Congratulations Tony on your overall accomplishments here at NPN over the years...... :toast:

I for one have used your well crafted post processing tools for a long time now and find them invaluable to my way of working an image after it has been scanned into PS...... :cool:

Yes, Tony, Congratulations!!!! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Your contributions here are unparalleled. Not only your valuable comments and critiques for so many people over the years, but also for your generous sharing of knowledge. I personally would like to thank you for being the MAJOR factor in my own development in terms of not just how to process images, but also learning how to take what for many is a technical process and helping me see the creative side of processing. "Developing" an image is not just Levels and Curves, it's a creative and artistic process. So thank you for all that.

And thanks for all you've done for NPN and here in the Landscape Gallery.

Bill, thanks for recognizing the achievement. I had been watching, but didn't see when he went over. Thanks!

NPN and the people here have certainly changed me and the way I take and develop pictures. The images, the critiques, the discussions, and the friends continue to be an important part of my life. I still look forward to seeing and learning from the pictures as much as when I first joined. It's a great place!
