So Soothing... (84)

This is my first anniversary post. I think during my time in TrekEarth, I met some very interesting and talented people and by the critics they made, I improved my skills in photography.

I still remember my first post in this amazing website, still one of my favourites, but ignorant as I was about PP at that time, the photo suffered from pixellation due to a bad scanning process.

The amount of things I have learnt (and still am) from members of TE community is immense and the people I have learnt from are too many to mention. But you all know who you are. I don’t want to name anyone because I’m afraid that I will miss someone out.

I thank all of you that have been helping me much with your critiques and, perhaps even more important, have given me the pleasure of your "company" for so many hours.

A big hug to all of you. Stella
