I agree with Matt that the quality of work is outstanding. This is my first time participating in anything like this, and it is really FUN and EXCITING. I cannot wait for Round 13 sign-ups.

Klinger's photo of standing sones reminds me of Kilmartin, Scotland where I was also among other pre-historic structures.
I really like gmessarit's composition and selective focus to direct the eye of the viewer. Wonderfully done!
The photo of the flamingo balanced on it bill by Nicholas Lindan is nicely composed. I would have never though of hiding it leg when taking the photograph.
Buster6X6's photo of "Todd's gas can" is interesting because I also try to look for art in places that art is not usually found, like piles of junk.
The message from the "Witchdoctor" brought to us by rwyoung is one that I need to hear often. Thank you Rob.
I received MattKing's postcard today. I really like how you combined the gray and sepia tones to give a brown that something I have been working to do for some time. Thanks for the ideas.

The two things I like most about this exchange are:
1. I get to show others some of my work, and I get to see lots of other peoples work. It broadens my view of the world.
2. It gives me ideas for my photography. Both in the field and in the darkroom.

Thanks to all for a wonderful exchange. I look forward to receiving more postcards.

Regards,
Darwin
