Really? You think links to free articles constitute "Commercial Advertising" (the only relevant banned activity I see). Gosh, I hope not, since I value following posted links to articles from Thom Hogan, Bjorn, Nikon, etc.

A very useful article Ron--well illustrated and laid out.

However, please let me, as a professional writer, comment on your writing. The second half of your article is well-written, conversational and very easy to read. On the other hand, you start out in a style that may put many readers off. The "one should do this..." school of writing went out with Hardy. I lost count of the times you used the word "utilize" but by the end you'd switched entirely to the shorter, smoother and more correct "use."

I hope you won't be offended by my post. I'd have e-mailed you privately if I knew your e-mail address. Please take it as a gift in exchange for the gift of this photography lesson and the many others I've received from you.

Second that. Ron's articles are a more valuable contribution to the forum than a lot of the nonsense we see here ex. did you notice all the pros have white lenses? Selling my nikon to buy a canon; please critique this picture of my cat ...
 
I've been following your articles for some time, and appreciate your effort

Maybe you should have posted here with a title of 'are effective foregrounds important' and the article your content. No can that you still would have been flamed.

Sure the site is ad-supported but so are most these days.

I always find well thought out articles on composition help my thinking on photography and I need all the help I can get - so keep it up!
 
I really don't understand you post, Ron is helping with his work here and I am sure it's ok with Phil since Ron has been doing that for a while.

Thank you Ron for your threads, thank you Mironv for the fun attitude you bring to this forum, I love people that think positive

Ron,

I love free stuff! Keep posting links to your articles. I much prefer your educational posts to those that have little value to the forum ("I just got my D200; now what do I do", "Look at my cat taken with a D200", "I'm going to Yellowstone; what should I shoot", etc.).

Hi Ron

Thanks for all the excellent articles you have posted to the forum. Ignore the silly complaint, as some others have pointed out, I much prefer getting the links and reading your articles than all of the irrelevant drivel some people post ie: When is Nikon going full frame, I'm switching to Canon, please critique my shots (when all are out of focus) etc.

Keep up the good work, I have certainly learned a lot from your articles, and I believe many others have too.

Best Regards
Rick

Look at the OP's posting history. Almost no posts other than links to his ad-supported site. He never responds to thank-you-for-posting's, etc. Nothing. He just comes here, dumps a link to his ad-supported site (duplicated across several forums), and never responds again.

Thank you for sharing this interesting article. Much more in the spirit of this forum than questions like "should I go to competition?"
Do it again!
