"Beauty and the Beast"

Please rate and critique.

You got me at the right time, I'm experimenting with color/B&W, nicely done 5/5.

Hi Janie, I have done very little of this.......To tell the truth, I like this very much, areal piece of work.......Jim......P.S......we had a big snow last night and this morning, about 10"........

Jim, thanks so much and I have started to do more and more of this type work. It has intrigued me ever since I began to see this type of pictures in the stores. Of course, I still like my black and whites but this is actually some of the same except with a little different touch. I am not jealous of your snow in the least. I hate cold weather and snow or ice really depresses me. The weather last night was predicting ice, but thank God it missed us.

Janie, good to see you posting new work! it has been a very long time. i like this alot. i wonder if it would be more effective with the yellow desatured a bit though.

Linda, good to hear from you and yes it has been a long time. If you recall you invited me to JPG Magazine and I liked that so much that my work went there. Now I am not sure whether they are going to stay on line or not. I did miss my friends I had made here on PN. Also, got real busy working solely on a class reunion and then it went right into the holidays here at the shop and never seemed like enough time. Hopefully, this year will be a better one for everyone.
