Smeone complained to FM about your posting? It happned to me over at DPR
but it most likely that that person got jealous about your superb images.
I can only dream about capturing one of these images.
Beautiful pics Ray and sorry to hear that your post was deleted.
I actually find it very useful and educational to see a post on what was done and discussed and problems overcome and results achieved at a workshop. Even seeing a pic of the those who attend with all their gear yields a ton of info.
Hope you continue posting your fine pics!

And if I remember correctly I said ' wow that first guy has some heft to him, huge paws cool looking animal. The last shot has just the right feel and light in it and a big congrats to Maria for spotting it for you I like the peak of #3 and I still want to know what #8 is other than a beautiful tipped something or other
If a post was deleted I would only think that a reason for it was reported to the original OP so that the infraction doesn't happen or offend again I have always enjoyed what you have offered here Ray, I surely hope you continue to share.
thanks Karl, the animal is a Silver fox, and when the issue was reported to me in a pm, this person identified the text as promoting workshops, and in the text, there was no promotion of any workshops... I did mention recent writers of NIOM.
Again, I am still wondering, but getting to the point where I don't really care.

Thanks for sharing these. There are some interesting shots here. I always love the saw-whets and that young cougar especially.
Just about everyone who posts usually gives at least a few lines putting the photographs into their context. I think that this setting of context is part of what makes viewing photographs on this forum interesting and enjoyable - I wouldn't want to lose that.
exactly.. and the way i look at it, there is always a story behind every image, this keep the interest level up, and makes the post more enjoyable... sure, I am talking about a past workshops... so??
i know this thread will get deleted, as the other did, here I am doing more damage then the original., whatdoyado?.. I like the people here way too much to just up and leave, and I am not a quitter... so maybe I will get a clear understanding of thei with FM, and move on., lets hope.

Very nice shots, Ray. I like the owls the best.
It was not me who complained about your post, but FM Forum rules clearly state:
There are a few members who only post on this forum in order to promote their business interests. As it clearly states above, that is to be done only in the "Member meetings and events" Forum. If you allow some members an inch, they will take a mile. Next thing we would be seeing on this forum would be annoying pop-up ads.
I know the photography business is tough, but that does not mean that FM'ers should be subjected to spam when they simply want to share images and comments about Nature & Wildlife.
I agree Tony., and if I was promoting a future workshop, you would / they would have every right to delete my thread.., but thanks for quoting the rules bud.

Ray, good stuff as usual, especially the Owl. No complaints here, I was glad to have info on the web site and activities. For some reason I have been recieving notification by e-mail for every reply to your post. Perhaps I clicked on something when I commented on your first post that generates this. Bruce
ok, sorry Bruce, I do not know why that is happening.
It's interesting what will remain on here & what will be removed.
It's probably a jealous lurker who complained. From now on I will complain when I feel certain people are out of control on certain issues. I bet they know who they are.
Well done Ray - beautiful set. I do hope we get a chance to put together what we're talking about.
Lil
thanks Lil.. I have a pretty good idea who complained... and there have been some other workshop guys promoting, also people promoting a lot of other stuff, and I can see the issue... this isn't a free advertizing venue... and I personally hate comercials.
if I was promoting a future workshop...yes, delete my thread, but I was not.
anyhow, sooner or later I will get this figured out.
