Fabulous image Andy, beautiful tones and light...
I'm so sorry you are not going to be uploading anymore, thats a shame and I really do hope its not because of one or two of the clowns on the GEA forum?
Anyway its been a pleasure viewing your images and I wish you good luck with future ventures
Your work and time that you have put into EPZ over the years will be sadly missed....
A lovely parting image. I've not been here long but I shall miss your support.
Cheers, Andy - good luck mate.
Dave
Beautiful image, Andy from a truly gifted tog.

(PS. Nice shot to leave us with........R)
It comes as a shock that you are leaving us, I think many will miss you as much as I certainly will. Your pictures have been a true inspiration to me!
Why? May I ask why you will not be uploading here any more Andy?
Bren
Oh! I too am so sad you are leaving Andy. I have really enjoyed your images and have welcomed your supportive comments. Thank you again for your GEA this week. This is a sad day.... but I hope you continue to enjoy taking photographs; you have such a talent!! You are a real inspiration! Today's image is just beautiful!

Beautiful Andy.Sorry you are leaving,you will be missed..Lin
Andy a truly impressive image. Detail and colour excellent and of cause great composition. I have only know you for a short while but it has been a pleasure seeing your pictures coming regularly in. Anyhow a lovely picture to what I really hope is not the last. Take care. WesternRed.
I will miss you Andy, i know i am not in the position to comment that because i took a "rest" too but i really hope to see you back here...
A wonderful gift, thank you for your beautiful pictures, kindly comments and friendship!
Gabriel
Very sad news, Andy, I sincerely hope that we will see the return of your stunning images again one day, you are going to be sorely missed by many.
You are leaving us with a mos beautiful still life, too, and in the colours that you so obviously adore, all the very best to you. Carol
Always sad when somebody of real quality leaves Andy, maybe a change of place will bring the rewards you deserve, for whatever reason you leave, it's a shame, we can ill afford to lose good people from our site and especially when they are such good photographers too.
Dougie
a beautiful gift crafted by nature and presented so well here.
Fabulous shot Andy, I am so sorry to hear your leaving Epz, I shall miss your wonderful images and of course your support for mine, take care my friend and all the best for the future.

What a superb image to leave us with, Andy. I am so sorry you will not be posting anymore, I shall really miss your inspiring images. I will also miss your encouraging support on my own efforts as I am sure many people will. A sad day, but my best wishes to you for the future. Carole
Another fine shot Andy. Sorry to see you leave,
Alan
Simply stunning!
I hope to continue "seeing" you on other websites, and will certainly miss your images on here. The best of luck, and love to Baily and Shadow.
Carol
So very sorry to hear you are leaving us Andy, but a very sincere thank you for the support and encouragement you have given to me since I joined Epz. I shall miss those wonderful sunsets which you capture but wish you all the very best in the future. Thank you for the lovely image today.
Joan.
All the very best, Andy, and thanks for many fine images and supportive comments.

Lovely colour tones and textures Andy,simply beautiful.
I am sorry to hear you will not be posting any more as your style was so distinctive and stood out from the others.Always enjoyed looking through the gallery and identifying your shots.
Many thanks for all the kind comments you gave and the time taken to view other photos.
I wish you peace and happiness in your future endeavours,it has been a pleasure to converse with you and hope our paths cross again in the future.

Hi Andy. I just read Wolfy's comment and wondered what happened in the GEA forum.
EPZ's gonna suffer a loss once you go. But I'm sure your reason is an important one and I won't pry. Feel free to PM whenever, alright?
A deliciously lush and golden image you're leaving us with...although I'd like to be optimistic and think you'll be back again someday
Take care, man.
Andrew
Unfortunately this site is losing too many good photographers. It's a shame you are going and trust you will consider after your break. I know it interferes a lot with home life and the time involved.
Take care with whatever you are going to do and pleas let me know if you come across another good photography site.
You leave us with a cracker.
A bit early but have a super Christmas.
I am so sorry you are leaving us Andy - your work is truly wonderful, beautiful and often lifts my soul with the sheer elegance of light, colour and composition. And this one just emphasises my point.
I wish you well whatever you do and thank you for the support you have given me on EP. Bless you and those you love.
Sue
Good luck Andy and to the family and wooffie ...will misss your work.....you are still on the funnies list and will remain there
Nice work to go out on
Graham
A beautiful image as always. I will miss your images and you encouragment. Thank you again, Sylvia
Am so very sorry to hear you are leaving the site Andy. You have provided us with so many beautiful shots, and this one is no exception. I look at your shots and would be so happy to produce just one that is as good as yours. Thank you so much for your support and comments on my shots since I have joined EPZ. Do hope that you may decide to return at some point. Whatever your decision, look back at the comments here and see how many people will miss you on here. Take care and all the best to you in the future. Moira
Beautiful image, and lovely title Andy, and I certainly remember these .
John
Andy, NO! I can't believe you are leaving! When I first started posting, you were right there giving me support on my pitiful efforts, and you have been there ever since. I can't imagine EPZ without your golden beauties. I really feel so very sad - you wouldn't reconsider?
Christina
It's going to be a very long time before EPZ finds a Sunset Meister like yourself, Andy. I wish you all good things in your new ventures. You have supported so many EPZ-ers. What goes around always comes around, so Be Lucky! You will be, that's for sure.
All the best, Dave.
So sorry to hear that you are leaving, Andy. Thank you for all the support and kindness you have shown me since my joining EPZ and for all the amazing sunsets and sunrises you have shared with us all. I wish you well in whatever you are venturing into . Also my sincere best wishes to you and your family. A beautiful parting shot, Thank you !!
Take care, Pauline
Oh Andy, I am sorry to see you feel you want
to leave EPZ, or at least stop uploading.
All the above comments show how well liked you
are and how much we appreciate your wonderful
photographs and enthusiastic support of our own
efforts. Be back soon !
All the very best to you,
Barbara x
You cant leave Andy.look at all the messages on EPZ..Lin
Another stunner Andy. I will miss your outstanding contributions.
Andy, a good image to end with. I have enjoyed viewing, voting and occassionally commenting on your work. All the best to you in whatever endeavour you undertake.
Andy, your heart is just as beautiful as this image, I just learned that you were going, I shall not say more...I have seen and heard too much, losing another talented photographer from this site is not news for me...you will be missed. Sadly, we are going to lose a wonderful photographer and a great friend... I wish you well and good luck to you.
Thank you very much for your kind support all the time.
Jasmine
What a beautiful image Andy but the message it brings is so sad. I have no idea what has gone on while I have been grandmothering... if that is a word, but I am so shocked and saddened to see another wonderful tallent leave this site. Take care and hope you change your mind
Linda xx
Andy, I can't believe you are leaving EPZ. Thank you for uploading all your beautiful images for us. Thank you too for all your lovely comments on my portfolio. Look after yourself and of course Jan and Scamp. Good luck with any new venture you may have planned. Fingers crossed you will be back one day.
Ruth
Hi Andy, I haven't been able to be on here as often I'd like and have only just viewed what seems to be your final upload. How very sad I feel at this news 
your work is simply amazing and inspiring and I shall miss your uploads soooo much. I hope you'll be back, I wish you luck with everything life has in store for you.
Kaleena
Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's real sad news that you're leaving us Andy. Thank you so much for all your helpful words of encouragement over the years. You and your stunning images will be sorely missed, and from the comments above I know I'm not the only one who will miss your support. There will be a huge gap in my list of favourites. Good luck out there away from the fold. And I hope to see you back very soon.
Take it easy pal

" Hey Andy" just found out that you are no longer uploading your images, which is a bloody shame.
You produce fine quality images Andy, and your support and encouragement was always there, I for one will miss that.
And what a parting capture, Stunning.
All the best Andy ..............................Rob
Beautiful tastefully Christmas type of image, love the warm tones and great detail.
Wherever your 'moving on' takes you, I hope it continues to feed your creativity, and you occasionally remember your friends here on site.
Good luck and best wishes,
Patricia.
Before scrolling down I added the image to the shortlist - and wasn't surprise to see the row of awards you've already got. It is a fantastic image Andy - sheer gold and the red bg adds to the allover noble looks.
Well done!
Johanna
superb image andy,sorry its late still having problems with my laptop.ray
Yesterday I was in a hurry and didn't read what you wrote. As I came back to give you my award I got aware that you leave us. A pitty, you will be missed here, but I can understand. Daily presence on epz asks a lot of time and we need some "leave" from time to time. I hope you'll be back someday, to give us more of your wonderful work to admire.
Take care, enjoy what ever you are doing.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous and good New Year 2012.
May the sun always shine on your path dear friend!
Johanna
Andy, I think you will already know from the above comments that you will very much missed on EPZ, & my own sentiments are included.
Thank you for your valued support since my early days on here. Best wishes for Christmas & the New Year & good luck in whatever you do.
Terry
So sorry to hear you are no longer uploading Andy. Your work will be sorely missed.
Good luck and thanks for your support.
Derek
Ah Andy, such a great loss to EPZ . I've not been around much myself lately, so only just found out you've left. When I finally get round to returning properly myself it will not be the same without your wonderful images. You will be leaving a gap that will be very difficult to fill. Best of luck Andy wherever you share your photography - and I sincerely hope you come back here one day. Thank you for all your support of my uploads, it has always been so valued.
Theresa
To wish you and your family a Merry Christmas
Thank you for all of your support over the past year.
Christine
Congratulations on your Lancashire Life Calendar competition win, in particular the image they have used for front cover, well done.
Christine
Wishing you a happy Christmas and all the best for 2012
