I am pretty upset as well about the stealth upgrade to Photonet. Have been a member since 2011 - now I see all of my galleries have been nuked & my images are just in a random pile. I do not have any issues with the need to upgrade the website - I understand that security holes & other things need to be fixed. [I myself have written code since the late 1970s so I totally get that.] Here is what I absolutely do not get: the arrogance of those who have chosen to inflict the changes on us. No warning. No email announcement. NADA. You could have given us some time to make screen shots of galleries etc. so we might have at least been able to salvage something from this website. And there is still no response to complaints either - so why even put it on the banner of the website. The silence has been deafening, to put it mildly. I am not sure I understand the sentiment of the thanks for 'following us to the new website'. I did not know I had a choice. Am seriously thinking of deleting my Pro account & finally creating my own photographic website. The lack of mindfulness by those who I call 'techbros' seems to be the new normal at the moment. I just deleted my Twitter account [which I have had since 2015], 1 week after Musk's disastrous takeover. It has been 3 weeks & it is slowly imploding. Then DuoLingo decided to 'upgrade' & nuke the learning profiles of all of its users - I lost what I had accumulated since 2016. I just deleted my account from there also. And now it looks like Photonet has caught the same disease... the contempt for the users of the website is really palpable.

Wayne, I really like the contrasting directional lines created by the boats and the roofs - makes for a really excellent composition. The filter treatment for this image is ideal I think - because there are lots of interesting colors in the buildings & surroundings. Congrats on hitting this one out of the park! -Aina

Temi, I love teasles - they make great subjects for photos. This is really delightful - the spider web is a great focal point here. Interesting comment by Vincent - I usually like more contrast in B&W too, but here I think that having less contrast adds a gentleness & serenity to the scene. In my opinion, more contrast would also take our natural focus off that gorgeous web, which right now is the high contrast feature that we gravitate to in this image. Beautiful!!! -Aina
