I'm a designer by profession,,theme parks, museums, etc so I do quite a bit of conceptual sketching myself for a living..maybe thats why I don't incorporate it into my hobby. Anyway, since I almost always vote for a sketch entry in the photo competition, I thought I'd check in an see whats happening over here. All I can say is I think you guys and gals are great! The sketches you are posting are in many ways more expressive and representative of the WOW feeling you get at the eyepiece, than actual photos. Clear skies and keep the pics..(works of art) coming.

I agree with you that the members of this forum are talented (and very nice as well). Maybe you will want to post an observation on this forum one day.
