I just have to stand up and applaud Shelly!!!

I don't know if many of you stop over to the Photo Sharing/Critiques section, but I do when I can. And I love to look at the images, but I rarely comment.

But Shelly seems to leave a little something for everyone that posts over there! She is always on top of it and I don't know if anyone posts over there as much as she does.

So mucho kudos to you Shelly for being a great friend and fellow photographer to all of us! You make us all feel special in the Photo Sharing and Critiques section!

I'll second that Shelly

You go above and beyond the expectations you deserve a standing ovation ok no smiley for that so I'll send ya a gold star

I guess I get to fourth those sentiments!  Thanks  Steph for bringing that out in the public....when in doubt, you can count of Shelly for posting a comment!

Thank you Shelly!

yes, kudos to shelly... :)  I like to follow her around and soak up all her knowledge... she is awesome :)

I must also add that she gives you HONEST critique but she also is willing to help you learn the things that you need to learn to be a good photographer

You can always count on Shelly she's a special lady!

I agree!  I don't think I've had a single post that she hasn't replied to.  Thanks, Shelly!!

Kara

I agree, too!  Thanks, Shelly. 

 I agree.  Shelly is one of the most upbeat and helpful people on the forum.  I know there are a lot of others on the forum who also have those same traits but what stand out to me about Shelly is how consistent she is, in her attitude ( even my mild manner self have known to come out of left field and make a tackle every now and then )   and she is very good at what she does whether it's shooting or editing.

 I think that was very nice and thoughtful Steph to give her special kudos on a thread.

Shelly has helped me in a lot of ways and I've noticed her posting and helping a lot of people over there.  She even goes behind the scenes with PMs and above and beyond to help us.

I say Shelly gets a hero's welcome at the next meet-up she attends. 

All I can say is...SHELLY IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!

Kudos Shelly... keep up the good deeds!

I am far from a regular poster (though I'm trying to participate more), and Shelly has always commented on and played with my images. I hugely appreciate her input!

I had to look at the title three times to make sure it was me that you all were talking about.

I am in total tears !!!!! Seriously! I am sitting here just tearing up something terrible. *Sniff*

I gotta have an Oprah moment here.....Stand back, please...( Like in the color purple) .........I have never been accepted anywhere before here on this forum. Not because I'm overweight, hairy, ugly....pimply, or an A-hole............I've always been quiet ( YAY ! I said "quiet" ! And painfully shy not to mention horribly abused. Can ya believe that? )

You folks have made me feel not only accepted.........but loved........... adored and wanted. Something I never had before. I guess that is what feeds my Mpix addiction.

I love to work on your photos and I really enjoy looking at everyones work. You don't realize that you are the ones who have helped me , not the other way around.

And yes I also work hard at my day job ( YAY ! I work 40-60 hrs a week making florescent light bulbs. So that's why I haven't seen this post until now)

My partner at work was just crying because I got bummed to another group. ( We had people retire, group shutting down........= higher seniority, people bump the lower senior people.) She said "No one will help me like you do !!!! " .............What a sweetie.

 So I in return, tip my hat to you all. I really appreciate all of the wonderful comments.

**SNIFF**

Now I must blow my nose in a tissue cause my sleeve is getting sticky.........LOL! 

Love ya guys !

Shelly 

Oh and I don't know a damn thing about photography.........I'm just faking it

KIDDING!!!!!!!! *Laughing* 

We love you too Shelly!

You are definitely the kind of friend that I want to keep around for a very long time! You aren't the kind of friend that would bail me out at 3am from jail....but that is only because you would be sitting beside me! LOL

Thanks for being a great friend!

Steph  

 You bet I would be right there with ya!

Awww darn it I thought she was taking me under her wing and helping I think she has posted a reply to everyone of my images.  Here I thought I was special.  I guess it's ok that she shares her comments with the rest of you all too.  Thanks Shel 

 Bryan, you know you are my favorite

LOL!
