Andrzej:

I find this photo to be striking and compelling, it amazes me that this beautiful woman has a dying soul that reflects her place in an uncaring, spiritually desolate world. Furthermore, I find it amazing that most of us who stopped to see your work have not asked how is she, what is wrong with her, It seems to me that her malnourished body indicates something is very wrong with her. But it seems that in this ever spiritually anorexic world, it is very important to praise the "art" over what it shows us. You have done well in converting human misery into art, in fact you deserve another cum laude for this picture, but the girl deserves at least one: HOW IS SHE DOING.

Could you tell your audience what's become of her?

Grasping beauty is one of your best skills.

Nadya your pict evoques emotions, therefore, it is a crowd stopper.

I hope this message reaches you all. I know we are from a very

diversed mix of races and religions, however, wishing well is

universal and we all know how much the world needs it.

Me encant� esta foto, el tiempo esta estᴩco ante una corriente que cambia, el gris domina hasta la luz misma dᮤole, a la escena, un sentido de ayer que me parece fantastico.

You may try all the advice that was given to you before this note, its very good indeed, and then try a technique that I am experimenting with in Photoshop CS2.

What you do is: 1) place the camera on a tripod, take a picture of the foreground, 2) keep the same exposure (take the picts in manual) 3) take a picture with focus on the middle ground and 4) repeat the action for the background. Save your files in your HD and open Photoshop's Bridge, Make sure the picts are in Jpeg and 8 bits. 5) Select the frames you want to merge, 6) go to the tools menu in Bridge and use the photomerge command. By aligning the frames and placing them together you will get a multi-fullframe landscape with great DOF and all of its segments in detailed focus. Mind you, it takes a lot of experimenting but once you get it right, you will be able to make great panoramics, landscapes and even macros with this technique.

There are Photomerging or stiching programs that take this more seriously. Look into Pano-Tools and other software (Shareware) that takes you a bit further into the landscape field. As for me I always use the techniques our fellow photographers described for you...a tripod is a most tool. I always take the landscape I want in a single frame (I do not dare missing a great shot for an experiment), then, I repeat the shot by taking up to three pictures to get the desired effect for the photomerge. Hope you enjoy the work.

Trying to convey the grandeur of nature and the joy of people

through photography.

This is a Shagya Arab Stallion. These horse are of gentle nature and

spirited at the same time. Once in the arena they love to jump and do

so on their own! This stallion could be ridden by a child or an

olimpic rider I was amazed by their nature and docile personality. The

picture does not do any justice to the animal, however I hope a little

of their extraordinary beauty can be passed on to you. Coments are

welcome.

A private and painful moment showing how the living remembered the dead yet to those of us who are in the outside the picture of the man in the cofing with the glasses on is just humorous and funny.

Great picture.

Saul tus fotos no solo son muy buenas pero podrí¡³ usarlas para documentar la historia natural de Canarias. Atr鶥te y prepara un libro.

Saul:

Muy buena tu foto, gran atenci�n a los detalles. Te felicito.

Leo Garcia / Venezuela

Saul me gusta mucho esta foto. Lamento que no hubiera luz en el primer campo, ya que esto te iluminaria los colores de la morrena que cruza el campo de nieve dᮤole m᳠a la PDC de la foto.

She is pretty and you captured here in a nice pose where the mirrowed image shows here subdued smile. It works for me so what if it is square, grey scaled or that her hair is messy.

Love it.

Great picture 7/7.

This was taken from a Cessna 206 single engine airplane before we

placed 11 skydivers on top of the mountain. I hope you like the

picture.
