Deva, taking a break (on Thompson Pass)
Susana Matos August 23, 2003
My first reaction was to say WOOOWWW!!!Susana Matos August 23, 2003
Hi Gary, I don´t know why but when I am making my comment your name appears simply as Gary Minish and I thought : well it isn´t Gary H. Minish but what a coincidence having almost the same name and so beautiful photos!??Evy Johansen August 23, 2003
Outstanding! Just as beautiful as "Deva" yesterday!!! #176604Gary H. Minish August 23, 2003
Susana; Thank you very much! Other than a little sharpening after shrinking it to entry size, nothing has been changed on this photo. The original photo loses a lot of sharpness when shrinking it to 640x480. I always apply just enough to bring it back as close as possible to the clarity of the original. You should see this at 1600x1200 on my Sony Flat screen monitor!Evy; Thank you also! I've had two photo sessions with Deva so far. One last night in rather poor light and this afternoon in very good light. This one was taken today. #176612
Gary H. Minish August 23, 2003
Thank you, Sharon :-) #176645Rick Joyce August 24, 2003
Clear and sharp lending great definition to the foreground moraine.RJ #176703
Gary H. Minish August 24, 2003
Thank you, Rick! Knowing how crisp your photos always are, I take that as a very nice compliment :-) #176705Wolfgang Dolak August 24, 2003
Really lovely, how you have "set" the scene, Gary. No discussion about the sharpness of your photos, LOL!!Jean Papo August 24, 2003
Another beauty, Gary! What scenery you have around you, and your dog is totally photogenic! Great shot! #176738Carolyn M. Fletcher August 24, 2003
Chain that dog to your body!! This dog is wonderful!!! Don't let her out of your sight! Just gorgeous shots!!!!! #176767Colette M. Metcalf August 24, 2003

Wonderful Detail & Colors A Beautiful Photo.Gary. #177036Jill Battaglia August 24, 2003
Just had to add my own WOW! Excellent, Gary!! :-) #177096Gary H. Minish August 24, 2003
birdie; Actually Deva "set" the scenes. It was my job to be in the right position for lighting and composition when she did. I got more exercise than she did, racing all over the mountain side trying to be in the right position for a good shot whenever she stopped moving :-) Thank you for commenting!Jean; Thank you! Yes, she is very photogenic. She has great poise and presence for a 5 month old puppy.
Carolyn, Colette, Joy, Roseann, Rick, Jill; A big thank you from Deva for the compliments and another from me for your very nice comments :-)

Congratulations, Gary! Happy to see your win with this wonderful shot! #202770Gary H. Minish September 16, 2003
Connie; such a fine endorsement from such a fine photographer as yourself is worth far more to me than the second prize in this contest! Deva and I are both very appreciative. Thank you :-)Rick; Thank you :-) Will that be 128mb or 256mb Kodachrome? Actually, I believe Dolores has a few with comments at least twice this long!

Lem Metro September 16, 2003
Beautiful photo & a well deserved win, Gary. Congratulations. I have been absent most of the last two months, but hope to get back to submitting, now that I have my new Olympus C-5050. I really love it. Just as I love your excellent work. Keep it up! Soon we will be seeing mass snow scenes coming from your talented lens. I can't wait. Talk to you soon.Gary H. Minish September 16, 2003
Hi Lem! I'm happy to hear from you again! Glad to see you're back and I'll be looking forward to seeing some of the magic you should be able to create with that 5050! I'm not quite ready for that snow yet...but somehow I don't think I'm going to have a lot of choice in the matter :-) Thank you for your kind wishes! #202847Kathleen Clemons September 17, 2003

A BIG Congrats on this wonderful image Gary! I love the addition of the cute dog:0)Gary H. Minish October 05, 2003
Thank you very much, Elizabeth! The dog wasn't an addition though. She was sitting right there when I took the photo. I took about 200 photos of her that day on the pass. Most every one is different. It's a fantastic place to shoot dog portraits :-) #222879Lee Teft June 19, 2004
Took me a minute or two to scroll down past all these well-deserved comments. My comment is: a wonderful shot particularly given that dogs rarely sit still for long. Seriouslr, congrats Gary - excellent work as always.Lee #605499
Gary H. Minish June 19, 2004
Thanks, Lee! Its all uphill to this locations so by the time she got to here she was ready for a break. So was I, but I had to grab the photo first. I don't know how you stumbled on this one, it was buried pretty far down in my gallery! #605561Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
