Fishin'--A Tribute to Fathers

Thanks Kathy. I think I was sending you a Happy Thanks Giving message just as you were sending this to me. Have a great day.

Thank you Cora. Have a great day.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Enjoy yourself and take lots of shots.

Well thank you Cindy. I like to hear that an picture stays with someone. Isn’t that what we all strive for in our work?

Hello Joanne and thank you.

What an honor it is too! Thank you both.

Thank you Joanne. Its a great group and to be featured makes me proud.

Thanks Bela! And happy Father’s day my friend.

Thank you Karen. That is what I like to hear.

Lisa, thank you very much for such an honor. It is so appreciated.

Thank you so much for the nice praise Ann.

Thank you Heather. Well met and I love you shots.

Thank you ER. I always get a thrill out of being featured. Its such an honor. And thanks for viewing.

I think you are right about that Gary. It kind of sets an example. Your viewing and comments are appreciated.

Thank you David.

Hello and thank you so much for such a great comment. And thank you for favoriting it. When another artist does that to one of my shots I consider it quite an honor.

Kleeter, I apologize for missing your comment on this shot. Thank you for the nice comment. It has proven to be my most featured work to date.

Thank you very much Lisa.

Thank you Julie. Taken in the U.S., but I’ll bet it could have been Norway too. Its kind of universal I think.

Thank you very much. I think I’ll be using this come Father’s Day.

Thank you Mekea. Appreciated.

You know, you commented on this in the far past and I missed it. Sorry. So I thought I would let you know I re-entered it into the groups for Father’s day. Its been featured 17 times now and I think 6 of them recently. Good suggestion!

Thank you very much Pamela. It seems to communicate across a large spectrum of groups (I think its up to 17 features now).

Thank you very much. I have been waiting for Fathers Day for this one, as you can imagine. It works.

Thank you Anthony. I am a bit in your realm with this shot.

Thank you Shaun. Appreciated. The words just kind of flowed as I reviewed the picture. A good sign I think.

Thank you Lisa. It was a fly-by. Fully unexpected. I rounded a corner and there was this scene and I just felt it had universal appeal. I guess it does. I think its up to 15 features now.—Steve

Thank you. A little removed from you desert shots!

Thank you so much Ellen. Great group and an honor to have a feature there.—Steve

Thank you Marlo. Agreed. In fact, this is the image I sent out to all the fathers in my close family this year.

Thank you Sara. It had Fathers Day written all over it when I saw it.

Thank you so much Big D. It was perfect for this time of year.

And have a great Father’s (and Grandfather’s Day) Big D!

Thank you Cora. Fishin’ just keeps on trucking.

Thanks Jan. Appreciated.

Wow Isa. Thank you. That is such great news. And have a very Happy Father’s Day. I just have a feeling its a special day in your family.

That is great Dana and an honor. I very much appreciate it.

Thank you Karen! To me a fav is always an honor considering all the great art we see on this site.

Fantastic Nancy! Thank you. It is always an honor (and what a great feature announcement picture!).—Steve

Thanks Antasas.

Thank you Mugsy. And great stuff you have. Enjoyed your gallery.

You are welcome and thank you for such nice compliments Debbie. Appreciated.—Steve

Thank you Linda. I like to hear that word Timeless. That is what I strive for (no, I am not saying I get it all the time, but its what I am trying the achieve). But on this one, I think I got it.—Steve

Hello Lois. It is very good to hear from you. Hope all is well. And thank you. Yes, this shot certainly seems to hit a nerve with everyone. Its got people, emotion, a forest, a stream, etc. So it fits in a lot of groups. One more feature to get 20. That sounds so much better than 19 doesn’t it? LOL.—Steve

Thanks so much. This one seems to hit a nerve with everyone. One more feature to get 20-somehow that seems like the milestone.-Steve

Thanks much!

Thank you Lois for letting me know of these groups. I was part of one, but did not know the other. Wouldn’t you know, I am still searching for that elusive 20!!! LOL. —Steve

Thank you Chinet. That is such great news. What more could I ask of my work?—Steve

Thank you very much. The shot certainly communicates to a lot of people doesn’t it?—Steve

So sorry for not getting back to you right away. Thanks for the great comment. Appreciated.—Steve

Thanks much. Really appreciate the great comment.—Steve

Hello Kelly. And thank you. I was literally running by when I saw the scene, stopped and snapped off a series and ran on. Shows again that good pictures are timeless-time has nothing to do with the taking or the viewing..-Steve

That is wonderful news Marie. Thank you very much. Great group.—Steve

Thank you Jenni. The words just kind of flowed looking at the shot.—Steve

Thanks Cora. Finally 20! I knew it would be that way: from #8 to #19 in a few weeks and then months to get that last one.LOL. —Steve

Thank you Sheila. Its a great group. And active. I have gotten a lot of feedback from people who have seen the shot in the group. So thanks for hosting.—Steve

Thank you Gabbie. As popular as this image has turned out, I guess it won’t be forgotten! And thanks for the congrats on the feature. Its always an honor to get featured.—Steve

Thank you very much for the great comment and the congrats.—Steve

Talk about making someone’s day Marie! Your group has been very good to me, with several features and now this. Its a great group with its simple concept on the letters that makes it so interactive. Thanks.—Steve

Hello David. Thanks. Challenge wins are not to be shrugged off. There are so many great shots and artists. So its quite an honor when I am able to win one.—Steve

Thanks Sheila. What an honor on both accounts!—Steve

Thank you Barb. I don’t take challenge wins lightly. They mean something when there are so many great shots out there to compete with! And yes, 20 amazes me. I think it is because it is so universal. It fit nature, forests, rivers, people, family, etc.). Again, thanks.—Steve

Thank you Jane. It has certainly been well received.—Steve
