May I adopt the style of Slobodan, here, without giving too much offense?  ;)

How fascinating! How elevating! How inspiring! How educational! How thought-provoking! Wow!  What more can I say?  ;D

Lovely (and very well executed) images of a lovely lass, but what has her being the daughter of Keith Richards to do with anything? Has she talent of her own perchance? No I'm not digging at you Benjamin, only the infatuation with fame for the sake of it.

I am elated that my decades of developing a recognizable style are finally noticed! ;D

When we start referring to Keith Richards as the father of Alexandra Richards, then we can be sure she has a talent of her own. ;)

She's certainly better looking than her dad

Ya know, there are several members who note on the site when they’ve had a significant achievement. I noted a recent achievement, Slobodan does the same when one of his foto solicitations finds its way a magazine. RSL has done the same several times. In fact, the list of those who have noted achievements here goes on and on going back all the years I’ve been a member and i'm sure much longer than that.

Clearly noting an achievement is an accepted practice. When we do note an event, the note is about the achievement, but the underscore is always that it was the person who made the achievement. It amounts to self-promotion.

So....as an open question... when or why is it okay to be flippant to one person for their self-promotion but not another?

To me the act of criticizing someone’s achievement has an unsavory aroma. That is my opinion, by the way, and I won’t try to pretend an opinion anything but an opinion.

Keep up the great work, Benjamin!

Which act are you referring to?
