No.


I have my hands full enough with comparing my stuff with what I have done before.

As far as the others here, I have not either adequately sampled the available photos, or looked at those that I have seen with that kind of purpose. Some names come to mind, but listing them could not be done with enough confidance in putting them in any order.

I think I am squarely in the middle. There are some photographers here that put me to shame.

Naming who I think is the best serves no purpose but to hurt feelings and start debates so I will pass on that question.

CaptainC, Roger Hicks and Nikonian72 are three I can name off the top of my head (there are many others on this forum as well). They consistently give pretty level-headed advice based on experience without tooting the "I'm a pro, so you should listen to me" horn. I work with enough arrogant PhD's and scientists all day long; it's refreshing to get an honest humble opinion based on real-life experience and practice.

The other reason I respect these three more than most is because they have access to their work via a web link. I don't easily appeal to authority, but their photography work is OUTSTANDING, so to me they are the true definition of a pro.

p.s. Captain, Roger and Nikonian... I'll take a check paid to the order of "mdorn". Send me a private message for the mailing address. :-)

There are people here on the board with LOTS of experience that create great images...

I just don't know who they all are.

And PS: I'm not one of them.

Another one who comes to mind is Alaskan. He has taken shots that make me forget to read on.

I agree. This kind of question does nothing but cause problems. Besides, someone who does work I like may not do work someone else would like.

Everyone has different tastes. That why they make Canon and Nikon cameras.
