Dear WATCH MAKER, or whoever,

I rarely post images, I think it's been two in the last twelve
months.  I try to give compliments to every image, and make
suggestions as to improvements/possible further development of
the scene.

So you can probably lump me in with Spider and Ken, though they
produce far much work than myself, and their criticisms and
suggestions are from a viewpoint that has much more POV
experience and knowledge behind it than my own.

This group including Ken and Spider are also tolerant of people
who don't have a clue, and those people given this environment
grow as artists to become accomplished and esteemed individuals
within the group within a short period of time.

Cheers
Steve
