Great shot biosx. Good to see your shot in this month's competition.

Regarding to the haters the best strategy is not to worry about them and their trolling votes. I remember when I was close to stop posting shots here at the end of the April last year. Fortunately jsrjr_gua_br and CecoBizona discouraged me from doing it. Even mlife wrote at one of my shots that he was also frustrated with it.

I bet it was the main reason of leaving many great photographers from Esato. I could bring dozens of links where owners of the shots are calling such haters of trols, idiots even gays

Esato could be great alternative for Flickr as cameraphones database. "Could" because sluggish mods don't do much in this case. Pity. If not us who don't bother such trolling, there would be hardly any user posting new shots. Who normally would to upload pics here and see couple of one's at start? Nobody. Everybody could fell as a stranger here.

Medicine on that would be a modification which automatically delete lowest marks every day. Otherwise I can’t see better future for mobile photography here in Esato. For now I’m trying not to bother those haters but I’m not guarantee that one day I will simply go away and I will upload shots only @ Flickr. All to left haters for themselves

At least here is less anonymity and everybody who wants to be part of monthly voting must reveal.

That's why I put the names in the list at the end. To keep things clear and open.

Back to topic, post some spring-worthy pics please.
Can people from the southern-hemisphere post an autumn photo? I'd like to say yes

Do you think your picture illustrates spring has come though ?

I think the same way as etaab. To be honest I would never hit that it’s a picture of a spring or nature comes to life. Maybe more suitable shot would be better? What do you think io_bg?

Fog comes in all seasons. Maybe spring has the most fog but I don't think that's reason enough.

This is my 'Spring on the Great Wall' shot.

I took it at a section of the Great Wall of China which is closed off to tourists and so hasn't been restored in a long time. It was crumbling and broken and the path was down to just 8 or 9 inches wide in places and yet in the area there was white blossom growing without a care in the world bringing new life to decaying structures.

I had to lean out over a 20ft drop with nothing to counter balance me but my left leg to get this shot. And I had to shoot blind to get the right angle.

In another attempt you can get an idea of the kind of thing I was leaning off and the state of the wall.

Thanks 9_Destiny. Although I'm convinced I could probably get something better.


RE: the ratings in the gallery. I have only just found yesterday where to see what votes you've had. I notice some of my recent shots have one 1 and then a few 7-10. I guess this is what is meant by the 1 vote. I'm not bothered just thought I'd share that even my shots which can't muster a win in a competition where the average attendance isn't more than 10 also get victimised by some low level vote rigging.
