Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile

Dear Merna,

THANK YOU so much for your extremely kind message ; be sure that I a very touched by your very sweet words !

Merna, I agree with You : changes have been "operated" at BetterPhoto and since the beginning of April, I don't even see any "Editor's Choice" images !!!
Where are they gone (both the images AND the Editors !) ?

I also have a very "uncomfortable" feel : I saw some images that TRULY deserved a second prize but never got it while some other images were rewarded and they were not "that" exceptional ... Of course, I also noticed that the rewarded photographers were BP classes students ... Does it have anything to do with the winners' choice ? ...
I want to believe it does NOT.

Anyway, let me THANK YOU very much for your thoughtfulness .. It is GREATLY appreciated Dear Merna !

Wishing You a wonderful week-end ahead,

Veronique :-)

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
