I don't understand English, I use the best word to describe this picture I know is really great, looking at it feel very good.

Don't worry you have a better grasp of the English language than most English people!

This made me laugh, you guys are awesome.

Hayd58 (Feb 15, 2014 at 11:25)

Turns out Mongolia looks remarkably like Kamloops

The best way of evaluating a POD is to count comments and favs. It still remains among the most classified data on the Planet who owns it and what the procedure of picking a pod consists in.

I've never thought I wanted to ride cross country until I see the Mongolia shots. Every year, it makes me want to buy an XC bike. I just wait until the urge passes

leo-jing (Feb 15, 2014 at 3:41)

Very nice!

mannybee (Feb 15, 2014 at 4:24)

Love it!

Kimura's Back Either way. Epic photo and landscape.

Amplidude (Feb 15, 2014 at 12:32)

Beaut Scenic shot!

DiegoRo (Feb 15, 2014 at 13:29)

The only good thing about this picture is the backdrop, the rest is not good, it has nothing extreme.

wayne-dc (Feb 15, 2014 at 5:03)

Not trolling or snipping at this photo. It is a shame the focus did miss on this shot. But it gives you a feel good factor to get out and ride

Kimura (Feb 15, 2014 at 10:01)

I think its good the way it is..

oreo1700 (Feb 15, 2014 at 10:17)

Is everyone from Wales this annoying?

wayne-dc (Feb 15, 2014 at 12:38)

oreo only to Americans

YoungPedalwon (Feb 15, 2014 at 12:45)

Cuts the way you described is is like if I went up to someone and said "no offense but you're f*cking ugly" it makes no sense

wayne-dc (Feb 15, 2014 at 12:59)

well if it reads that way thats my bad. was not ment to sound that way

ms1trailbender (Feb 15, 2014 at 18:40)

I'm pretty much American and good with all folks from Wales and anywhere else. Accepting a critique comes with the territory of being an artist and posting your stuff. It's not intended to insult, it's people that love the art being able to talk and discuss their thoughts on the elements. It is what it is. Being part of a social forum is the interaction and collaboration of ideas and thoughts. Tolerance is putting up with something you don't enjoy. Acceptance is sharing your space with those that have a different perspective. Let's share and accept.....peace and love people.

You are very narrow minded.

So... Blurry.

I'm a little disappointed that you, of everyone, are leaving an unsolicited negative comment on another photographers work. You know what it's like to be up on this pedestal, and the internet will say what it will, but I'd hope as a photog you'd show other photogs some courtesy.

Gajible (Feb 15, 2014 at 3:15)

Constructive criticism I call it. He's not just leaving a negative comment to be a dick, unless you're seeing something we aren't, the picture is indeed a little blurred. Could just be the resolution it's provided in, I don't know.. but it's blurry alright! He's not making stuff up.

mattwragg (Feb 15, 2014 at 3:44)

Constructive criticism is when somebody asks for your opinion on something. The world would be a better place if more people understood that.

nouser (Feb 15, 2014 at 3:47)

Could it be that the blur adds emphasis to the vastness of the landscape?

liamq123 (Feb 15, 2014 at 4:57)

If he's putting his work out on the internet people are going to give their opinions. It's blurry.

Gajible (Feb 15, 2014 at 12:43)

Thank you Liam. The moment this picture was posted, he opened it up to praise and/or criticism. You can't expect people to notice and not say anything, that's not how people tend to work.
