I'm sure most visitors to my pages will be familiar with Ian Bramham's photography Ian Bramham. I've followed his emerging talent since he first bought a DSLR - not that his talent took long to emerge. I'm sure any viewers who have not seen his work will appreciate this link.

I'ts great to be the one to be able to comment on your first photo here at Aminus3.
You already know that I think this is a truly brilliant portrait....world class in fact!
I'm sure you'll love the community spirit here but it can be a hard job if you intend posting a new photo very day. personally I ran out of steam after about a year and switched to posting photos about 3 times a week.

@Ian Bramham: Who better for the first comment?
Thanks Ian, appreciated. Once I get my head around this I'll sort out various links to yours. I'm impressed that you maintained a full year and constant replies to the huge response your blog has earned. I had a look though your portfolio on here and the wealth of great images - and that finally spurred me to join this community.

@Tammy-Cricket: Thanks Tammy - that was a fun shot, I didn't know the couple, and I was shooting using the delayed timer to had no idea what their expressions were until afterwards. I don't think they could have been better than they were!
