Nice shots, I particularly like the first one.

Just one person's opinion, and I aim this comment at nobody in particular, but it strikes me as more than a bit rude when photographer A starts a thread asking for C&C, and photographers B, C, and D all take that thread as an opportunity to post a number of their own photographs, which may or may not be one iota better than those of poor photographer A, whose thread has just been hijacked.

It is a not-so-subtle way of saying "it's all about me," even when not accompanied by a gratuitous, repetitive, long-winded, poorly spelled, clearly not proofread, know-it-all-lecture about Henri Cartier Bresson, and what variety of cold cuts he was partial to.

I have seen this happen a couple times over the past 24 hours, for example in Greg's San Miguel thread. I suppose it's not against the rules... but I do think it's rude and presumptuous.

if this is directed at me I am glad I posted an example photo and I gave credit that it was not mine

if C&C comments can only be "warm and fuzzy" then what's the point ?

I can't speak for jtr27, but I didn't take what you said as trying to hijack this thread.  It was honest C&C, and as you said you posted examples and noted that they weren't yours.  The thread that jtr27 linked to could be a different story, but I'd prefer to avoid having issues migrate between threads.
