Dale, this is great. I love the framing (and or cropping), as well as the color, comp and detail. #936020Dale Hardin June 05, 2008
thank you Marisol. This is a crop. This comment from you means a lot to me as your gallery reflects such a talent for capturing graphic design. I love that type of shot but must admit that I've been side tracked of late. Your encouragement prompts me to start again. Dale #6023511Laura L. Gonzales June 05, 2008
WOW Dale!! I love the lines, texture, color and detail!! Great clarity and use of full frame!!! Outstanding!! Laura #6024629Joan E. Hoffman June 06, 2008
Very Funky Dale... Love the vibrancy of this shot!! #6026180Dale Hardin June 06, 2008
Laura and Joan, thanks so much. This was taken at Disney Walk in Aneheim. My son-in-law and I go there once in awhile when we don't have time to travel far and want to do so impromtu shooting. You know how it is, some days you get a clicking urge and it has to be scratched. Dale #6026927Joan Powell June 10, 2008
Love the color and comp , nice work ! #6044144Dale Hardin June 10, 2008
Thank you Joan. I see another fine image from your portrait gallery of Dallas. Lovely model and you've captured her very well with excellent compositions. Dale #6045621M.Christine Duncan July 21, 2008
Congrats on the Finalist win Dale!!! Fantastic colors and lines... WTG!!! #6207685Dale Hardin July 21, 2008
Thanks Christine. Couldn't believe that I got two of these this month. Went for nearly two years and didn't get any. My son-in-law rec'd one almost right away and never let me live it down. Still like him though. #6209126Kristy A. Keene July 22, 2008
Big Congrats on your Wonderful Finalist!! #6212474Dale Hardin July 22, 2008

Congrats on your finalist!!! #6221486Dale Hardin July 23, 2008
Thanks Jillian. Had a look at your new entries to your gallery. Love your creativity. Still overwhelmed by your "Daisy eyes" shots. #6221648Patrick Rouzes July 24, 2008
CONGRATULATIONS on this cool & spectacular finalist, Dale!!! #6227201Dale Hardin July 24, 2008
Thanks so much Patrick. Would love to work with you on macro techniques. I'm really lacking in that area and could use lots of tips. And it's obvious from your gallery that you could teach me a lot. #6227742Laura L. Gonzales July 24, 2008
A huge congrats are in order for this awesome finalist!!! I really like this image Dale!! Well done!!! Laura #6227780Dale Hardin July 25, 2008
Thanks Laura. Can't believe I missed your "coat of many colors" award. What an awesome idea and result. I didn't even recognize what it was until I read your description. I have to get back to my favorites galleries more often and see what I'm missing. #6229609Laura E. Swan July 26, 2008
When I heard you did something called "NEON" and it got a Finalist I thought to myself, "Wow! Dale finally took the plunge and did a NEON in CURVES?!" Ha! What a pleasant surprise to see this and it's so much more your style. Big congrats, Dale! -Laura :) #6232192Dale Hardin July 26, 2008
Laura, you talk so much about CURVES so I've just got to look into that and try it I guess. Hm-m-m-m wonder what I'll find? #6234052Laura E. Swan July 26, 2008
