Hi, Dave!

I don't come here too often any more either, and was never much of a contributor, but I still lurk sometimes, and I always make it a point to visit your portfolio to see what is new.  This makes me happy, to think that trees dream in glorious technicolor!

Thanks for the comments, Christal and Tom.  I have been a little MIA lately here on P.N.   Christal, thanks for the comparison with Michael Mancil (although not really deserved!)   He is one of my favorites here, and I think I see which image you allude to in his gallery.   Drop by again!

Hi, Diane.

This is not really a critique so much as a note from a fellow NC gal.  I live a couple of hours west from Salisbury.  I am enjoying your Christmas ornaments.  I have a few fish myself. and like colored lights rather than clear.  I collect glass ornaments, Radko, and antique glass as well, especially Shiny Brites.  This is a fine fish.  The photo itself is not quite sharp, but still enjoyable.  I am looking through your gallery and will comment again later or tonight if I can stay up late!

Regards,

Tammy

Colorful and entertaining. I could see this as a big print on the wqll, I really like it.

Best regards,

Tammy

Very nice in focus, form and color. A striking image!

Nice color here. Pretty steady shot for being handheld! I like your portfolio so far.

Best regards,

Tammy

She is indeed a lovely girl, flawless skin and amazing eyes, and the image is nicely done. too.

What a cool and unusual horse portrait! My only comment is it might be a tad sharper, but some may have been lost on the upload.

We did the Tennessee Aquarium instead. We went to Rock City many years ago. There are not as many barns that have See Rock City roofs as there used to be. Thanks for the suggestion, the gravel is a bit too bright, but it was white gravel and not grey.

Tammy

Love the color and the impressionistic feel of this. It works on many levels. It is not what I normally picture when I think of China, but now I will!

This is an interesting image from foreground to infinity. The best shot I have ever seen of dandelions!

Best regards,

Tammy

Thanks, Christal.

The exposure here is 4s @ f/13. My daughter is the artist. I did clone a bit of her feet away, but when darkened a bit the rest of her disappeared by itself. I have some where she is more visible, especially the ones with glowsticks. The sparkler makes more crisp, defined lines. We are going to do this again soon, we had a lot of fun.

Funny shot, and beautiful bird dog. This one makes me LOL!

Best regards,

Tammy

Very nice light and appealing shot. I have to say, that is one big dandelion! Lovely image, if I were this little girl's parent I would be thrilled.

Makes me think of the Mirror of Galadriel, from Lord of the Rings. Interesting and unusual shot.

Best regards,

Tammy

This is outstanding. Love that greener tree on the right, makes the entire image have some pop!

Best regards,

Tammy

Subject, composition, color, mood, this one has a lot going for it. Excellent capture.

I have a fondness for weird roadside attractions. This is about a strange as it gets! Quirky and unusual. The post processing accentuates the cartoony appeal for me.

Best regards,

Tammy

Nice exposure and DOF. We had a retired greyhound, 1992-2000. He was a jewel. looked a lot like Cosmo, this picture makes me miss our Chip!

They are underwater, I was not. These were in the Tennessee Aquarium

in Chattanooga. Comments welcome.

Ha! These are Magpie. Wish I could take credit for the funny title. On Flickr this is called "Roadside Snacking". My daughter captioned "Mmmmmm, spinal fluid", and I thought it was funny and borrowed it for P.N! Thanks for the comments.

Tammy

Nice rustic scene. It seems to be tilting a bit to the right. I might think about cloning away the power line as well as straighten it a little. Lovely color and inviting scene, the essence of a New England fall afternoon!

Best regards,

Tammy

Joseph,

This is such an inviting shot, I can smell the crisp air as I stroll down this little dirt road! Nice composition and color, too. But to me, many times the feeling a picture invokes is the real mark of success. And this one is a winner!

Best regards,

Tammy

Nice detail. I love the form of dandelions! New camera? Enjoy!!!

Tammy

Fabrizio,

Thank you for the visit to my portfolio. This image caught my eye immediately. Nice tone and texture, a different approach to a fruit bowl! I like this a lot.

Best regards,

Tammy
