You know I'll miss you!! Please don't stay away too long! #41462

Robert, This is an absolutely stunning photo. Love the mystical effect. Sad to hear you are leaving BP for awhile. I will look forward to seeing more incredible photos when you return. Good luck and a speedy return... #41483

Outstanding image, Robert.....take care and hurry back! #41537

Carol Engstrom level-classic May 26, 2019

Hurry back, Robert! I enjoy seeing your work. Hope everything is OK for you.

This is a great shot. There is a real mood to it, but I am still trying to decide how it makes me feel--I think I agree with Dolores. It has a mysterious feel to it. #41551

Sharon E. Lowe level-addict May 26, 2019

Wonderful image! Hope you'll be back with us soon and good luck for on whatever it is that is making you leave us for a while! #41600

Holly cow!
I have never had such a response!

Murry, Lorraine, Ruth, Dolores, Tania, Shelley, Ellen, Carol, and Sharon!!!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. It makes me warm at heart to hear that someone is going to miss me (or my images).

The reason why I have to leave is quite pathetic. I simply have been banned from BP for repeatedly posting offensive and nasty comments on other people's work...

Keep up the great work, folks, and HAVE FUN!!! #41918

Bernard B. Travers May 26, 2019

Wonderful take Robert. See ya. #42093

Jim Miotke My Courses May 26, 2019

I wanted to correct the record. Robert's statement about being banned is not true.

I think Robert was joking. In a personal email to him, he said that he was simply getting busy with a big project at work.

Anyway, we did not ban him from BetterPhoto. #42165

Robert Pranagal May 26, 2019

Yes, I was kidding abou the ban. I am sorry if this caused unneccessary concern.
Best regards, and see you soon. #42173

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Shame on you, Robert. You've got to realize you're dealing with an old gezzer with a bad heart! I could go at any minute with posts like yours :0)

Murry #42254

Ruth Denton May 26, 2019

Shame on you is right! I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I read your explanation, but now that I know better I'm giggling.
Murry, I'm a nurse....if you DO have a heart attack I could possibly save ya with a little CPR....and with pictures to prove it. ;) #42264

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic May 26, 2019

Congrats on finals!! Now come back!!! #54530

Lorraine T. Lynch May 26, 2019

Hey Robert! Congratulations my friend! #54619

Carol Engstrom level-classic May 26, 2019

Sharon E. Lowe level-addict May 26, 2019

Congrats Robert! See what happens when you say goodbye! Gotta come back now. #55301

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Congrats Robert! I knew this had winning potential! Good luck with the grand!! Am so happy to see you took a break to check out the activity on your image!

And yes!! ...tsk..tsk for making Jim look bad! Though I knew you were heavily involved in a work related project, I also knew that Jim (and others) probably didn't!! #55579

Bernard B. Travers May 26, 2019

Congratulations, Robert. #55703

Cathy M. Gromball May 26, 2019

Congratulations on finals with this one, Robert! I'm sorry I missed it when you posted it, and having started at the top of the comments, when I got to the part about being banned, I was in shock, thinking, "He's always been so nice with his comments". So, I was relieved to find out you were only joking! This is a wonderful photo, and I sure hope to see you back on here soon!

Robert Pranagal May 26, 2019

Hello everyone!

Murry, Ruth, Carolyn, Lorraine, Carol, Birdie, Sharon, Dolores, Bernard and Cathy, I just dropped by to thank you again and again for your kind comments. It was a great news to hear that this photo made it to the finals, but even more did I enjoy your appreciation.

I miss you!

Best regards, #56342

Congrats, Robert! Now get back to your REAL job, taking photos! #59132

Lorraine T. Lynch May 26, 2019

Congratulations Robert! #59170

Sharon E. Lowe level-addict May 26, 2019

Congrats Robert - now you have to come back and give us your stinging critiques!! #59181

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Congrats! #59187

Robert Pranagal May 26, 2019

Hi there!

Great news sure it was!

Cathy, Lorraine, Sharon, and Murry,
thank you so much that you took time to write with your congratulations. I appreciate this even more than the actual win.

Carolyn, unfortunately, taking photos is not my REAL job. I wish it was. Actually, I haven't made a single buck with the camera...

Sharon, don't you worry, when I am back, I'll be as mean as one can get. But, you are safe for some time still...

Again, thank you very much - your comments have made my day. #59266

Shelley Sanders May 26, 2019

Such a super b&w scene! Still awaiting your return Robert! Congratulations on your win! #59891

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

Congrats on this magnificent image! #59997

Bernard B. Travers May 26, 2019

Great win, Robert. #60182

Robert Pranagal September 14, 2003

Wow...
Now that I am back, I keep on being shocked at the response I got...

Thank you so much again! Your support is really meaningful. Appreciate this immensly.

Shelley, Damian and Bernard, I am sorry I failed to thank you for your congratulations earlier. Please accept my apology.

Again, big thanks everyone!
