You know I don't mean any disrespect and am not singling out any person, but I looked at the list of Subjects when I wrote that post, and a majority of it are flower photos. OK, may be flowers are just the most beautiful subject going on right now, but it is just odd on a Leica list. That's all. I do not ridicule people, but if you seem to think so, then obviously my message delivery is flawed. So I will shut up.
