What makes you think I am a Yankee???? Word History: The origin of Yankee has been the subject of much debate, but the most likely source is the Dutch name Janke, meaning "little Jan" or "little John," a nickname that dates back to the 1680s. Perhaps because it was used as the name of pirates, the name Yankee came to be used as a term of contempt. It was used this way in the 1750s by General James Wolfe, the British general who secured British domination of North America by defeating the French at Quebec. The name may have been applied to New Englanders as an extension of an original use referring to Dutch settlers living along the Hudson River. Whatever the reason, Yankee is first recorded in 1765 as a name for an inhabitant of New England. The first recorded use of the term by the British to refer to Americans in general appears in the 1780s, in a letter by Lord Horatio Nelson, no less. Around the same time it began to be abbreviated to Yank. During the American Revolution, American soldiers adopted this term of derision as a term of national pride. The derisive use nonetheless remained alive and even intensified in the South during the Civil War, when it referred not to all Americans but to those loyal to the Union. Now the term carries less emotion--except of course for baseball fans.am a Yankee? BTY way I carry duel citizenship. Guess witch countries?

IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO LIMIT FOR SUNSET MAN.
I would be so happy and grateful if anybody comments on my photos fairly and for the sake of positive critique,and I think every member who do post his or her image here or at any site else would do so.
But to receives a critique that is harsh,impolite,and having a personal insult and identity scratches ,that will be intolerable by any person even for the feeble minded.
During my three years stay at UF which I call my cyber home,I have witnessed sunset man harshly,impolitely,and unprovoked attacking members of UF,and I think the administration are very well informed of these incidents.those members whom being attacked are so polite to respond back and they remain silent all the times,and they were always advised by other members not to responds or take any action,and I am one of those who have not responded,apart from reporting such incidents here.
yesterday sunset man have attacked Srna,so very harshly,and he have reached his action to the extreme madness and rudeness.I and some other members who have the carriage and nerve to confronts with this bad person,and this bad behaviour,wwe have just comments on his photos with utmost good behaviour,and we just wrote comments on the images them self,not on the person of the photographer,and he starts to cry,shouts,and threaten with the UF administration that will ends all of us.
I know very well that the UF admin are so very wiser than that,and they will interfere in a very wise action.
I just want to ask,why there is no action against such a bad behaviour ?
does any body accepts that harsh attacks,and if he does ,I would ask for how long ?

I am very sad that there such hostility on this site. I hope you can just let this go. Both of you are inspirational photographs. One thing that makes this site so good the diversity of people and skill. If you don't like contributors please just move on. No more postings please.
Life is good.

One way to get a photo looked at is to create a little war. I can see that you take this game seriously. I admit I know know little about the game. The pieces are more interesting than potatoes and carrots. The king is missing in action. The purpose of this photo was an exercise on DOF and nothing more as stated in remarks. If you must critique please direct it towards that and not the subject. Your remarks have also been reported. Peace, love, and joy fill your life.

This image is totally in the wrong from the beginning because there is no King Figure in the scene whatsoever. Therefore, I suggest that both of you study the Game of Chess quite a bit closer ...

Not PS. Try a yellow color light at a low light time.
What I am thinking is, a golden light on the chess board from a bit of angle and shadows of the ponies. Guess you will come up with a good shot.
