My photos are taken on location. I do not move animals or flowers to make them look better in a different place. I may hold the branch with the flower, when it is too windy, to keep the flower in focus. If I have restacked wood in the yard, and there is a lizard, I may move it to somewhere else in order to not crush it.
But frogs on a plastic bucket and emus in a pasture are taken, where they chose to be themselves, even if this may not look like nature.
And I do not make photos of animals in zoos and post them as Wildlife. Furthermore, I do not give awards to wildlife photos, where I am not convinced that they are what I see as authentic.
Also, I do not give awards to photos which have no single line of a story to tell. I like to get at least a name of the plant or animal, a location of that spectacular building, or its use, some history. That makes it so much more interesting to be here.
Disclaimer:
A few photos of mine are obviously staged; but in that case, you will not be in doubt.
And furthermore, I would like you to respect that the right to my photos is mine. Contact me, if you wish to borrow anything.
Thank you.

I spent the last fifteen minutes looking at several sets in your photostream. I am amazed. I gained tremendous satisfaction looking at each of the photos with an eye not for criticism, but of enjoyment. Great photography comes from opportunity, from being in the right place, and from knowing your subject. I believe you are very good at this skill. The photos in your photostream show variety from Australia to Spain. They show things bright and beautiful; big and small. They are a small glimpse of our beautiful world. Photography is about arousing emotions and setting the stage for people to remember a place, a smell, a moment, and sometimes our hopes and dreams. I believe this is a crossroad you have come to in you life. Laura, continue to shoot, because we will continue to admire. Jamar L. Cotton Corona, California (USA)
