Straight-on shot of a big yellow shelf mushroom with a dark tree bark background and a coin sitting on it for scale. Proof of genius.

One of your fellow trolls will be along any time to tell everyone they were removed because I had stolen them, or I removed them because I was so embarrassed, or they were all shot with DSLRs and I had lied about smaller sensor cameras performing so well, or ... any of their other usual resident trolls' childishly manipulative reasons to desperately try to get my or anyone's attention. When in reality, I never leave images up for more than 24 hours. Rarely longer in special circumstances. Maybe someone will offer to repost them for you without my permission so I can pursue a lawsuit against them again. That's always fun when the trolls try that. The problem is, the ones who have done just that are so poor there's no reward. So in advance I only show them highly degraded jpg-compressed images they can desperately covet and beat-off over instead.

Proof of genius. No, these were posted to prove that you are lying, deceitful, and slanderous trolls. Which they did quite well. That was the only reason for posting them, no other.

Arrange to have some one take your picture and post (don't use a DSLR though, we want a good shot).
