I just spent the last 2 hours and 22 minutes replying to 25 Reviews and writing 15 plus Reviews for photos and art and I lost them all....Every single one of them. I spelled checked each one; gave each a rating and then clicked on SAVE. However, now when I went back to check none of them are there..
NONE
NO REPLIES....
NO REVIEWS...
I am heartbroken. I do not understand what transpired. Sometimes I despise technology. When it works, it is awesome, but when it does not, then the only thing a person like me can do is accept it and move on. The sad thing about all of this is that I unfortunately am unable to repeat all what I have said. I only have this computer for another 37 minutes then I must get off and return it to its owner. So much work and effort lost amongst the currents of technology within this computer. ARGH. I owe you the biggest apology. I do hope you will accept it and understand that I am unable to retype every word I have said to you in MY REVIEW to you. Hopefully next time MY Review of your work will be exactly what I had intended. There are ghosts in this machine. You deserve what I had said originally, which was quite lengthy and ALL positive I can assure you....BUT RIGHT now, this is the best I can do.

    I don't think there is one person here who hasn't been what you've been through. It's terrible when it happens and there's no way you can remember what you said or even the all the people you reviewed. ( let alone know why your reviews didn't go through) I've never lost as many reviews as you did here. so my heart goes out to you. You don't owe me an apology at all! What is special is that you remembered me at all and came back to review again.

    I learned the hard way like you so I do my reviewing by just sending a few reviews at a time, then do another small batch. If they don't go through I don't have SO MANY to remember. When it comes to a long letter I write in an email or here, I copy it before I send it. After you take the time to write something (especially something that's long) the last thing you want to have happen is lose it.
    By the way I just copied this just in case..... Wish you copy all the reviews you send at once!

    Thanks for taking the time to rate my work again, that in itself means a GREAT DEAL to me! :o) Helvi

    Not that it makes me feel any better that you have gone through it as well, it just makes me feel better that you understand what I mean because you have been there and done that. Your suggestions are superb and that is what I will do from now on.
    Thanks for say what you did.
    You deserved the initial review and you certainly deserved an explanation. I appreciate you taking the time to write me back.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


A fantastic picture of this most odd looking Mantidfly. It's said a Giraffe, is an animal created by a corporation, this is the equivalent in the insect world. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

    Sometimes when you come across something like this you think maybe you should create a make-a-bug contest here! Though this is VERY much real it is hard to believe it's so. Thanks for the Great Review!
Comment from michiganmike


A very nicely composed shot with good colors and excellent resolution of details. The colors are true to life. Best of luck in the contest.

    It's amazing what you discover when your taking pictures! I think that's why it makes it such a fun thing to do. You never know what you'll see next. Thanks for the wonderful review! :o) Helvi
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Rara avis, indeed!
Law of Natural Confusion?
You're right, it's a cross between an elongated wasp and a praying mantis sans the hands that are always in a praying position!
Sharply focused head, thorax & abdomen.
Best of luck in the contest!
You're a newbie, right?
Thanks for sharing...

    I left the site about two to two and a half years ago and just came back in December. Except for those two years, I've been here for quite a while. I love being on the site presenting my images and viewing other's work. Thanks for the wonderful review and wishes for luck in the contest, I so appreciate them!
Comment from nikman


Quite an impressive macro shot posted here. It sure fits the title of the competition! Your full and central composition gives us a good look at him. Like that gleaming wing. Well done and good luck!
