Christie-- Your picture is very valuable here in landscapes. I like to go to individual members profile pages and look at their plant photo contibutions and landscapes! For one... it is way easier to thumbs up that way. I do not feel landscape photos are lost in that context either. Because when members actually have their own photographs in those areas (especially landscapes)... and I look at their profile pictures...I feel like I have gotten to know a member.
I further feel it is rude and inappropriate to have this conversation on a thread attached to someone's photo...my mother told me...if you can not say something nice or positive...just do not say it. Let people have their beautiful personal photos in peace.
May you have an extraordinary week-end full of blessings!
