I am embarrassed to admit that this recognition was way over due. Bill Fach has not only been a prolific poster in the NPN galleries (particularly the Flora Gallery, in which he is a moderator) but also actively comments on the work of others with over 24,000 comments!
Bill's eye for flora subjects continues to set the standard by which all others are measured. You truly need to set some time aside to be mesmerized by Bill's amazing collection of photos in his Personal Gallery!
An amazing and stunning gallery. Congratulations to you Bill and well deserved as already stated. You're truly a senior statesman here at NPN with a registration date clear back to 03. We all sincerely appreciate your efforts as a NPN moderator and providing strong support to others over the many years you've been here at NPN.
Thanks Bill for all your encouragement and beautiful posts. I'm glad you finally have the recognition you deserve. Your gallery is stunning!

Congratulations Bill.
While I have certainly enjoyed your work over the past eight years, your comments and suggestions have helped me immensely in attempting to develop my photographic skills - especially in developing some sense of composition which was the most difficult part of it for me.
There is no doubt in my mind that the images from the flora gallery represent the finest body of floral work in the world. That is in no small part due to your mentoring and guidance of the gallery, as well as your personal photographic contributions.
My sincere thanks.

You're such a great resource at NPN! Without your two thumbs, I wouldn't know what to do! There only remains one thing, and that is to get you focusing with those toes…
