There is another factor for consideration - some of us don't have 
enough time in the day to look at everyone's portfolio.  Also meant 
as no disrespect Doug, but I am not a big fan of wildlife 
photography.  Despite intellectually knowing how tough it is to get 
the perfect shot on a moving target, emotionally I don't really have 
much attachment to wildlife photography.  To each his own poison and 
pleasure.
