I joined Flickr earlier this year and what a wise decision. There is so much talent and creativity to see and learn from. I think my photography has improved since joining and also my interest in photography has increased dramatically. I try to comment on as many pictures as I can and I will limit my contacts to members who that take time to comment as well. If you do not comment on pictures of your contacts, then why bother asking to be a contact. I love landscape pictures sunsets and pictures of the sea. I also enjoy taking pictures of flowers and spend quite a lot of time in National trusts grounds and gardens.I do find it hard to be creative but having some Flickr friends who simply ooze creativity helps tremendously. Happy Flickering!! Give your friends help with any groups awards when needed, always look :-)
