Hello Elves.. i would like to thank you again for making me a part of this elite club of photographers!

HELLO SUPRIYO.T hank you for your insightful critique. i feel that when i take a photo that it should evoke some kind of emotion. Even if that emotion is i hate that picture or it gives me the creeps or i can't look at that photo. for you to say that you appreciate the art of photography i.e. foggy blurry shots... says a great deal to me. You have the Midas touch as far as photography goes.. a very eclectic tasteful portfolio and for that i give you kudos!

Hi Robin.. i interpreted your comment as this.. you implied my post processing was meant to take an ordinary boring photo and attempt to create something not so mundane through smoke and mirrors? May i also add that you implied that this attempt laid flat and was not successful and that the effect couldn't hide the poor under lying tones of the photo. in essence you are saying take a bad photo and attempt to make it better and i am saying take a good photo and make it more intriguing... Regardless i enjoyed your comment.It made me think. AS far as someone's thoughts being more important or influential than another persons.. you bet they are. How many things in life are of equal value and identical? Your comment wasn't more important to me than anyone elses.. i do take away more from some statements than others and find some comments more relevant than others. If people actual have something to say about one of photos and have the patience to write it down and send it i couldn't be more delighted!

Alan, what a wicked web we weave!Thanks for your commennt Michael, i do feel that the harsh tone adds a little mystique, thank you Arthur, yes sometimes the title is there to convince the looker of an idea. a way of plotting or hatching thei intent or thoughts of the photographer.Thanks for your comment Anders thanks , yes with the theme of the title it was just a passing thought in reality he looked most unlike a cowboy Jorge,thanks! The blur is mostly for atmosphere i think? Robin thanks.. i can't help but wonder if there is a tone of sarcasm in your commet? The blur, was not used as a method or means in anyway to distract or remove anything in anyway from the photo but was used to add character and originality. Its intent was not to create an illusion of interest and artistic approach nor was it meant to be a distraction or deception. As far as mundane .. i do feel that that is a mundane term in and of it self. A most overly used word much as the word interesting. I do thank you for your honest and unbiased opinion.

Yes she is,

wHat a touching title and photography.

Norman didn't know about the ninny?

Julie I like your take ....I left the right side because I felt he needed a larger platform to stand on . I also share your idea of the curtain
