Toutes les images récoltées sont superbes et nombreuses sont originales... 2 - Vos propres images sont époustouflantes. Quel talent. Elles confirment, s'il le fallait, la qualité de vos choix de "favoris"... 3 - Je vous prie de m'excuser de ne pas avoir accepté la publication d'une de mes photos dans la galerie "COMPASSION". Je trouve que dans cette galerie il y a trop de "photos morbides"! Ormon personnage ne l'était pas... Elle rêvait tout simplement aussi sa place ne m'est pas apparue dans cette exposition! En tout état de cause, Merci à vous pour la qualité de vos publications.

Norm, or better known as "Padmakara" on Flickr is a quiet, down-to-earth, laid back gentleman with a deep understanding of photography and cameras. He won't readily flaunt his knowledge on discussion groups but if he's asked nicely, you'll learn a lot from his past experience. He's very polite when it comes to constructive criticism and I learned a very valuable lesson from him which I practice to this day - cropping for effect. Why "cropping"? It sounded too trivial for me at first. I tend to shoot at wide angles to get more stuff into the frame but there's more to an image than squeezing unnecessary details in the picture that can be distracting to the eye. Many thanks to you, Norm for all the advice you've given me. I always learn something new from looking at your photostream and from your frequent commenting on mine. I feel bad not being able to reciprocate your kindness as often as I would like; it's just that I ended up with too many Flickr contacts and it's just impossible for me to comment on their new uploads! ;-) Congratulations on owning a brand new Nikon D7000, with this great camera and the excellent AF 80-200mm f/2.8 ED telephoto zoom, you'll be taking your photography skills to an even higher level!

Norm has quickly become a favorite Flickr friend of mine. He always gives positive feedback in a way that exudes friendliness. His work is very insightful and in many ways culturally and photographically educating. He is a master of composition whose images always make me stop and look for what he was looking for. … Read more
