Susan, outstanding job. Very creative and unique. #2561698Susan Jane Allen March 22, 2006
Thanks Milan, Karen and Ken for your kind encouragement! Karen, I remember you from way back---you and your amazing flower macros! Milan, I was enjoying your gallery and your fine images of India, the land of my heart that I miss very much. But my server started its maddening slowdown (chronic problem here) before I decided on which ones to comment on. But I remember one lovely portrait of a woman of about 35ish. Must get back to it! Ken, that's a great compliment coming from you! #2561907Corinne M. Thompson April 11, 2006
And what a beautiful house it would be! Love the color variations and detail! #2634284A C April 25, 2006

Thanks guys for all your support. Doubt if it's a run---but nice thought anyway. Ken, since you set me straight last month about my misunderstanding about finalists, I've been entering a photo almost every day. #2690416Corinne M. Thompson April 27, 2006

Congratulations on your finalist Susan. When I first saw this image I thought it looked like a butterfly. Good eye and very well executed image. #2806751Susan Jane Allen May 25, 2006
Thanks so much, Dan! When I saw these leaves for the first time (they're everywhere here), I thought the same thing. The tree also produces lovely flowers much of the year and are those pink flowers "standing guard" by the lake. #2813647Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
