Thanks for taking a moment to comment Robert. You have been on my watch list for quite a while. I enjoy your work.

Now see what you did. Ya went and showed me a place to spend money for computer stuff. LOL

Thanks for the tip. I went a looked at the site and it looks like a great idea. Did it seem like a good price, format, etc. Thanks again.

Jayme-

Eccept for the quality photos, this looks like a page from one the scrapbooks my wife does for the kids. Nice work.

I did all of these the same day so there won't be a noticeable change in quality. I agree with you...especially after looking back at yours. I really want to be able to make this one look like your "Ethan" image. Looks like I got sum lernin tuh do. Thanks.

Jayme-

It was this set of images in your portfolio that inspired my first attempt at this style. I am using a program called Micrografix Picture Publisher. I have PS but frankly dont know it well enough to follow along with directions from a post. I realize that PS is the way to go. I guess it's time to double-click my most feared icon. :-) Thanks for the consistent help and support.

Bryan

Thanks folks for the suggestions. I am new to photography as well as photo manipulation so believe me when I say that each and every idea and suggestion is read carefully. Thanks again.

Bryan

There you go again Nana, cleanin up my mess. :-)

Thanks Jayme. Yes that does make a difference. I suppose it's time to learn PS. Thanks again.

It's easy when your new Sister-in-law is so beautiful. Its actually a crop from a much larger capture. Thanks again.

Bryan

This is one of my favorites also. The reds lean toward pink when I cut the opacity to lay the flag over the cemetary. Not sure how to avoid it. Thanks for taking the time to make a comment.

I love the composition! If I were going to pick a nit, (If that is even how to spell a nit, knit, nitt..), it would be that the BG is a little distracting. I played a little if that is ok. Nice capture.

Francesco-

Thanks for the comments. Yes the soft focus was intended. I originally did have more contrast but it put too much of a hard-edged feel to the soft image I was looking for and I lost highlights in the models hair. Would a crisp black background have been better? Maybe I will try. Thanks.

Bryan

Robert-

I think you named this one correctly. I would be interested in hearing how this was taken. I actually feel like I am under very clear cold water and this creature has come up quickly from behind. Spooky shot man.
