Posting Format of the Group

Please post as many pictures as you like here. All that I ask is that you comment on how you like a picture and give supportive feedback.
People who want a critique of their work are welcome to post in a group having to do with critiques.
Do not ask people to critique your work here :)
There are many levels of photographers on this site. As there are people on this site with many level of cameras as well as photo editing software etc. Sometimes it is comparing apples to oranges.
You are not that individual artist, you do not know if they were trying to document their day or trying to go for some sort of effect..whatever they were trying to do please do not try to speak for them. I disliked this in my 8 years of art school and I will not tolerate this here. It robs a person of their individual voice and chance to develop for themselves. Also it makes them gun shy about posting in this group. There are no hard and fast rules to anything in life this is why there are art brut, outsider arts and folk arts we are all equal. rules are boring and meant to be broken in my eye...It is the rebels in life who are the true artists...
Viva la deference!
And if you cannot say something nice then do not say anything...

Comment by Daniel Lang on March 4, 2012 at 12:07pm: Blenheim Palace Chapel - The 1st Duke of Marlborough's 30 ton tomb and sarcophagus was placed on the west wall of the chapel, occupying the space of the high altar in defiance of religious convention, thus becoming the dominating feature in the chapel. Commissioned by the Duchess in 1730, it was designed by William Kent, and statues of the Duke and Duchess depicted as Caesar and Caesarina adorn the great sarcophagus. In bas relief at the base of the tomb, the Duchess ordered to be depicted the surrender of Marshal Tallard. Thus finally the theme throughout the palace of honouring the Duke reached its apotheosis with completion of his tomb. The Duke's coffin was returned to Blenheim from Westminster Abbey. Now Blenheim had indeed become a pantheon and mausoleum. Successive Dukes and their wives are also interred in the vault beneath the chapel.

Comment by Daniel Lang on March 4, 2012 at 9:14am: Holy Trinity Church Yard Cemetery - Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. This is the church where William Shakespeare and his wife, Anne Hathaway were both baptized as infants and also laid to rest. The Church lies on the banks of the River Avon. It is a 13th century parish, but has records dating back to the 9th century.
