About myself:- Photography has been my hobby for some years, but since I bought a 20D, I have taken it a lot more seriously and it has become my passion and I now have 4 favorite lenses. I enjoy photographing anything natural, interesting and beautiful that presents itself – especially abstracts, landscapes and macros. I enjoy entering photos in competitions (and have got modestly lucky at times) and making them available for others to see.

My goal on Flickr is to get and to give inspiration to others, so I usually only focus on interesting photos. I also want to get constructive criticism and try to give as well when I find interesting photos. It is also to learn to judge my own photographs and to improve my photographic skills. But it is always a balance with time pressure.

Critiquing:- I usually aim to submit photos on critique groups, and critique and score as per the rules. If a photo is poor it scores low. It is not my goal to make friends, just to be honest, and get honest critiques in return.

Private Listings
If you see my photos posted in groups, you may be interested why some of them are listed as private. Well its simply to reserve them from the scrutiny of friends and photo club members for a while, so that I can still surprise them when I select my favorites for competitions and for print. I believe half the fun of viewing and showing photos is the surprise element ;-).
