Winter is the season to show us the world in peace. Because white is the colour of peace. Christmas warms our hearts and snow falls on our sorrows.

Wintertide LyricsIn the dead of January
I saunter beneath darkened clouds
Evergreens remaining silent
Snowflakes drift in speechless beauty
Wintertide lyrics invading
The deepest marrow of my bones
I have no verse to speak today
Frozen by life's inherent bane
My tongue remains still, unshifting
I would prefer this anyway
Nature writes better poetryWintertide Lyrics by ~NathanielFlyingOwl

Burn the photo-purists! Burn them all!OK, I've been talking about the watermarkers, I've been talking about the overthankers, so now it's time to target the third platoon.. I call them photo-purists.
Imagine such a dialog:
Me: It would be great shot, but the horizon is a bit oblique, and whole shot could be a bit sharper. And you know, you could increase the contrast, too.
Someone: Yes, you right, but that's how it's all went with this shot.
Me: Yeah, but you know, there are such programs like Photoshop or Gimp. You can easily fix that.
Someone: I believe that photographer should use no manipulations on the shot. If you can't do it right, so be it. Photography should be natural and you should increase your skills*.
Since I'm moderating some of the DA groups, I get one of these once in a month. And then I want to ask, every time: if you get sick, doBurn the photo-purists! Burn them all! by ~Helkathon

A Fairy Merry Christmas 2of14;Soon Emerald continued to browse around the store, yet the idea of a snowglobe was stuck in her mind. She wondered if she could make a snowglobe that held such happy memories it would be perfect for him. She and Pip continued to browse as they left the store waving to Christine and Jeff as they said goodbye. Around town Emerald had a smile on her face as she window shopped-she knew exactly what to get Once-ler for Christmas, but first she would have to find the material needed to make a snowglobe-yet this one would be very special. Soon she stopped at the mailbox as she soon slipped the letters to Santa and Noelle into the mailbox with a smiA Fairy Merry Christmas 2of14 by *FairyGal11

Thank you for the request!

~Mykoto Jun 11, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I'd love to know why exactly my pic [link] keeps seemingly going un-noticed to you all? I've submitted it like 3 times now, and each time it's just expired. I mean if you all don't want it here, just decline it and give me closure, but I'm honestly not even sure why it wouldn't belong in this group.

~Helkathon Jun 11, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Huh, that's the strange thing. It's the first time I see this pic, and I never saw it on submission queue, though I check it once in a couple of days for the last few years.

Don't know what to say.

I will contact the DA support.
