This beautiful picture https://steemit.com/photography/@brandongarrett/first-place-image by @brandongarrett is certainly a reflection of not only his skill as a photographer but also reflects his great photoshop skills. Correct me if I’m wrong but from my limited use of photoshop I have found it to be an extremely difficult program to learn so kudos must go to @brandongarrett not just for his time spent taking all 180 images but also for his perseverance in arranging said images to create such an amazing piece of art. It is no wonder he has received accolades for his work and I feel this particular piece is a mirror to his imagination. This image he has created gives me the urge to go to a playground on a clear starry night and lie back on a spinning merry-go-round to try and recreate the sensation that this great piece of art inspires. I appreciate @danielsaori bringing this great artist to my attention and my gratitude goes out to @brandongarrett for making Steemit a more interesting place to hang out. I’m sure his work will be spread far and wide amongst the Steemit community. @brandongarrett certainly deserves every upvote he gets for this fantastic image and I will most certainly be following his progress on Steemit. Kudos my friend!

You're welcome, I liked it @markkennard! There are many good comments here, but your's is pretty high on the list (notice the $0.32 you are being upvoted) ... that means you are doing good! And don't get dismayed by anything here, if you do your best and you are honest, the good moments will far outweigh any bad ones. I guarantee it ;)
Thanks very much for the pep talk @davemccoy. Much appreciated
very nice comment, i like it. good job mark
Thank you very much and thanks for your upvote. If you think my comment is a candidate to win this contest then I’d love to hear your opinion and a comment of “vote” below my comment would certainly help as mentioned in the rules. I also see you have followed me. There are a few resteems of other people’s posts in my blog but I hope you enjoy the posts of my Oamaru Stone Sculptures and of Steampunk sculptures from around my home town and would love your feedback. I’ll be sure to check out your blog. With such an interesting name I’m sure there will be some great content on there. I’ll also be sure to copy my comment on the contest photo to the post by @brandongarrett as I see you mentioned this to another Steemian. All the best on your Steemit journey!
Great commentary @markkennard. Since my vote is not worth Jack (pardon the pun) I upvoted your post about your carving 0.15sbd via the treeplanter bot. I felt that post was excellent, drastically undervalued, and deserves much more in upvotes. So there is my modest attempt at that. Great work @markkennard keep up the great work sir!
No problem. It should be showing up fairly quick, it usually doesn't take too long for them to cast the vote. New Zealand has been a place of great curiosity for me. I have played at high levels of men's fastpitch softball, and most of the best pitchers in the world come from there as you may or may not be aware. I live in the Midwest in the US, and that is actually a great hidden past time for so many of us, unfortunately it has kind of dwindled down. When I was a little kid 35+ years ago there were games played by every small town around my hometown. Now we have to travel an hour just to play in a recreational league game. Oh well, glad to hear the appreciation sir, I would cycle through @davemccoy past posts over the last month and read all of his advice for newbies. He has some very excellent articles. If there are any questions on anything please ask me, or anyone virtually everyone on this platform is a great resource to aid you in your up and coming success.
Thanks for the advice. If you ever visit New Zealand be sure to visit Oamaru. I’m sure you will find it a very interesting little town.
Confirmed! Great comment you have produced here. Well done!
