&lt;b&gt;Exceptional Shot Of The Day. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Exceptionality&lt;/b&gt;

This is a group for SELECTED photos which exhibit something more. They have to rise above the average and be &amp;quot;Exceptional&amp;quot;

These are considered shots PERFORMED and executed with care.

The Group is open to color and black and white images, digital and analog (film), as shot, and modified.

The selection process is made by reviewing Flickr. All submissions are  reviewed and  selected based on the decision of the group manager.

Thank You for  joining us, and we wish you to enjoy and comment on the  exceptional work gathered here.

			<title>Seeking well  versed Moderators for this group</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/people/jgscism/&quot;&gt;scismgenie&lt;/a&gt; posted a new topic:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Job requirements: a volunteer or two&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wanted experienced group moderators who know photography, composition, and  can make a  judgment about which shots to include, and which to say &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Approval of shots submitted and  inviting shots seen elsewhere are a part of the  task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shots considered MUST be the exception, NOT just well done, but EXCEPTIONALLY well-done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applicants must be open to EXPLORE Flickr, and  choose the exceptional work, and  help to recognize that work through inclusion in this group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This group will increase in popularity and exposure to the Flickr public, and we want it to remain a bastion of people's favorite places to start and  come back to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have the experience in moderating other groups, and  would like to help here, please drop me a note.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title>Exceptional Photographer Dr. James Thomasito Noriega</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/people/jgscism/&quot;&gt;scismgenie&lt;/a&gt; posted a new topic:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I normally find photos which strike me as being &amp;quot;exceptional&amp;quot; but rarely find a photographer that can not seem to post a &amp;quot;bad&amp;quot; shot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. James Thomasito Noriega is one such photographer. Strictly speaking each photo isn't his own, as the work of his brother is also included.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Art of Photography isn't just pushing the release and recording what you see, although that is fine for some of the purists, it isn't all there is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mastery means an investment in your work, Thomasito has made such an investment, in time , money, and post processing, and the result is a body of work worthy of the appellation of &amp;quot;Exceptional Photographer&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
