Hi Farkled. I just started to write a few testimonials and I thought that I should write something for you. Farkled and I go way back. We both stumbled on each other in the photography critique group. At the time, the group was small and we usually critiqued each others photographs and thought about ways to increase traffic in the group. We both got our feet wet in the group. I remember when I learned about the rule of 3rd's. It was a great place for both of us to learn. I think Farkled may have been my first contact on flickr. Fastforward a few years and we both belong to many of the same groups. Photography critique assignment group, photography critique-invite group, etc etc. Farkled played a key role in building up all these groups. His ideas are great and when he decides something should be done, it is done and done correctly. I really admire his style and the way he conducts himself in these groups. He is the first person I look to for advise..and hes given me plenty over the past couple years. I remember when we had an election for the Admin postition in photography critique group and he won by a landslide. Farkled is an excellent photographer. He is not afraid to try something new. He is not afraid to post his trials. Lately, he is experimenting with some painterly effects and I think he might have something there. Farkled is a great friend and mentor and a huge asset to the flickr community. Thanks Farkled.
