The Real Dumas (I guess)

Thank you for your attention dear colleagues!

PDE

Will the real Dumas please stand up!   hahahaha... Welcome mon chum......

I was standing mon chum, only pointed the camera a little upwards to show the dawn sky instead of the dull darkness of the trees!

Au revoir mon chum!

PDE

You should be given knighthood.

We can call you SirReal Dumas :-)

Ranga,

...are you teasing me?!

I clicked on yes for the helpfulness of your comment!

So, thank you for your valuable comment my friend!

PDE

most certainly not!

If you don't see my comments on your images, it is not because I have nothing to comment, but I have so many comments which effectively silence each other and leave me in a no horn zone. At least that saves me the discomfiture of locking horns with other observations.

Even this comment I was a bit wary of airing it, but yielded to the temptation of wordplay!!

I have been away ... (from a computer) ... for a month and this what greets me on my return !!! Creativity AND revelation!! Great image Pierre. Regards and have a great day. Bob

Great S.P. , nice to see you " in the flesh " , so to speak ! Bill

What a surprise... after years ...the real Dumas...!

With best regards,

Ruud.

the flash makes you look photoshopped.  excellent.  is the only photoshopped bit the "DUMAS" patch on your shoulder?  best, j

Hi Pierre, Very nice image. Warm regards, Tina

So that's what you look like. I already had my doubts about the previous portrait.

cheers, hans

Electric, as I remember only some retouch!

Hans, that was me too, you were right!

BTW, I have a descent size portrait on my member page too!

My dear friend Pierre,

As your very proud sponsor , I must say that this is the best self-portrait that I have seen. I really am not surprised because you do such excellent work both with images and art.

I am not upset by the fact that my wife finds you most attractive in this image and would like to meet you. So I am compelled to invite you to Florida. I do not have much to offer you other than fine food and drink, along with over 500 lens from my collections. You would be welcome to use my cameras and lens if you do visit us !

All the Best, my friend, Uncle Mike

Dear uncle Mike,

You should have shown your respectable wife my previous picture, but what's done it's done!

I am therefore honored and now have to accept your invitation!

As soon as I teach my bicycle how to swim I'm riding to your embrace and you have only to prepare a large barrel of Jamaica Rum! I will sleep, if you don't mind on the porch in my sleeping bag! I love porches maybe because I don't have one and never had in neither one of my non-existing houses! On this picture I'm standing on the balcony of one of them, but never could sleep on it because of the naughty mosquitoes! They fly over to Greece in winter, but who would sleep on the balcony in wintertime! That's another story...

And I will have to accept your offer of using your 500 lenses and about 300 cameras because I don't have an underwater housing for neither one of mine and large is the ocean, a drop or two may leak inside during my travel!

So, see you soon!

PDE

Nice to see you...

Grigoriy

Pierre, my friend, the Photoshop professional.  Most of us will never know if you are really handsome, or if this is a PS version  ; - ))

Grigoriy, thank you, it would be nice to see you too!

Dominick, I can only tell you that this picture was taken almost six years ago and I only did retouch, for example some scars were removed, not a big deal, hardly noticeable ones! And how I look now you saw on this picture! Recently taken and not much elaborated in PS! I only did some adjustments!

Thanks for your compliment(s)!

PDE

Very well done, Pierre. Special background for the “Real Dumas”. Regards

Hello Pierre,

I would pick you up in my large offshore boat, but I have sold it a long time ago in order to buy some more lens for my collections !

As for porches, I have two. So no problem there.

I have many fine wines, and fine Rums and other beverages that will  keep you pleased, too.

So, the invitation is open.

Oh, my wife did see your first portrait and was impressed at how "tough" you looked. She said that "tough guys" really interest her, but I did not question her further !

Warmest Regards, Uncle Mike

...ma chi è questo grande attore? Grande idea, mio caro amico! Mi piace veramente molto!

Hilarious!  Most wanted, that is.  Rums and wine on uncle Mike's porch sounds pretty good!  Maybe he needs help shooting bikini butts.

Buen modelo, buen fotógrafo y mejor comentarista.

Gracias. por tus visitas y tus comentarios.

Daniel.

OK Pierre, I like the self portrait because it is a great shot, but something tells me that there is some creativity in there just itching to get out.  Besides that, its centered. Ha   Best regards...Brent

You are actually better looking than i thought,in this photo you look like the captain of a cruise liner,maybe the Dumas lines,you should put this in for rating,the lady photographers will give you sevens,nice enjoyable work,best regards
