OhLook wrote in post #17458575 I enjoyed the surprise more when "The shot of a lifetime" was the only introduction. Yes, so did I. But typically it really bothers me when someone does that (posts a link with no commentary). In this case, I enjoyed being completely surprised. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

Archibald You must be quackers! More info | Mar 05, 2015 17:12 | #7 Tom Reichner wrote in post #17462294 That's awesome, Richard! Thanks for making me/us aware of this. Yesterday, a few hours after seeing this thread, I overheard them talking about it on Fox News....had to run to the TV set to see how they covered the story! It's cool that wildlife photography got a little love on national television! Yes, so did I. But typically it really bothers me when someone does that (posts a link with no commentary). In this case, I enjoyed being completely surprised. Many with limited time won't bother to read a post without an informative subject line and won't click on an arbitrary link.

Oh, yes, of course, Archie - I totally get that. As I very clearly explained, I am typically one of those who is particularly bothered by the practice. But for me, this was a rare exception.

I think the reason was that the thread was in Bird Talk. Had it been in Glamour & Nude or Critique Corner, for example, I would have passed it by. "The shot of a lifetime" with a nature subject is bound to be something special. PRONOUN ADVISORY: OhLook is a she. | Comments welcome
