Dear Klaas
I’ll be definite coming back with my pictures. If even not I’d always visit UF and the art-visions of my favourite photographers like you. The job called me again! I have to sail anyway during next week. If I’d get any opportunity somehow, somewhere in any port of course you’d hear my greeting and it would be my pleasure.
Much appreciated your kind and friendly regard
Best wishes to you and all other: Maxime

Dear Klaas
Photography has been my hobby since I was just 6 years, further than 30 years now. I’ve never been joined a photography-competition because I just enjoy taking pictures for the sake of my spirit. I am not at all expecting being on the homepage of UF when I observe over thousands pictures posting here every single day and I have to acknowledge from the bottom of my heart that more than %70 - %80 of them are better than mine regarding to both technically and quality. For living I’m a sailor dear friend and for attention I’m an author. Here in UF I am enjoying looking at the beautiful pictures and art-creations and sharing minds with many intellectuals like you. It should be a very silly decision if I would completely stop visiting UF. Please understand my frustration when I saw a new posted picture became the “Photo of the Day” before even I could finish my really short comment. No doubt UF has done a very high-quality job when I perceived over 600-thousand pictures have been posted her in UF. The administration has to take this population very serious. They have to understand young photographer’s sensible feeling and be fair for their decisions. It is not reasonable that X or Y has to be on the homepage because Dr. X or Sir Y is called or a nice biography has, but just because their photos, projects and comments are better than others. I understand also UF-administration’s both responsibility and difficulty for making any decision, because of so many tastes, flavours, ideas and expectations, but just so long they are flowing the principles they’ve mentioned.

Dear Klaas
I really appreciate deeply your kind regard. UF disappointed me after all I’ve seen during the last period, but nevertheless I am absolute agree with the optimistic points you’ve mentioned about UF. To tell the truth I did encourage many to join UF and I’ll give confidence any of my friends who like to exercise photography for joining in this Page! Beyond words UF is one of the superior website for communication and sharing ideas between photographers worldwide.

Dear Maxime, I didn't believe my eyes when I went to your pages and saw you stopped and removed all you photo's. It's a pitty you think so, because UF brought all of us together too, we share our pictures, and I think that something too. There are thousands of people enjoying UF so not everybody can be on the homepage, however I understand your point, and think that you're right with a lot of it, but I think it's not only misery. Still hoping you change your mind and return soon, and I'm sure a lot of us think the same and are hoping you'll come back.
If not, take care of yourself, all the best of luck, and who knows we meet another again sometime, somewhere,
Klaas

Thank you Laura, and yes I liked that pose too she was indeed in awe of the forrest. She loved everything in nature, as trees plants flowers animals and so on. Also is she always busy in her (little) garden.
I´m glad you liked it.
Take care,
Klaas

Thanks for visiting Hilton and ofcourse for your comment. Germany is a little easyer and more payable for me Hilton. I always take my home (caravan) with me, so that doesn't cost too much. If I come to South Africa you'll be the first to know.
Best wishes to you too,
Klaas

Thanks Riny, wat denk je in een bos.......aan de rechterkant, voor ons kijkers links staan de hoge bomen die je op de vorige foto ziet. Die zijn erg hoog, en ook zijn er bergen. Kun je die laptop niet houden zolang je daar moet blijven? Veel sterkte morgen met je operatie, ik hoop dat je snel weer opknapt.
Sterkte en tot UF's,
Klaas
