Dominique, aaahhh, Merci!!!!!!! Je n´ai pas encore essayée A3 prints, peut-être vais-je essayer un de ces jours car j´ai demandé une place ici à Ponte de Lima pour faire une exposition. Ce seront des photos en A4 et peut-être quelques une en A3. J´attends une réponse du Président de la Maîrie (je n´ai pas un diccionnaire ici, mais je pense que c´est la Mairie ce dont je parle)
Le bonjour de Ponte de Lima pour vous et Silke, Su

Susana Matos
  Thank you my BP friends! I posted today a very similar photo so don´t expect you to comment again.
I have to say I find these images something very unusual and I am quite happy to have shot them this way. The sky had supperbe clouds because a thunderstorm was approaching and then with a degradé orange cokin filter I got this dramatic sky that I find nice to go with the superbe colors of the ground! I had to run when I went away as the thunderstorm began suddenly with the first signs of rain...
Thank you for your great words, so good to read from you.
Cheers from Portugal, Su

  Hello Susana...
Nice to be back on betterphotto
The sky colors are amazing !!!

I see you got the 300D now! what do you think about it ??

(I changed my 17-35 2.8L for a 16-35 2.8L some weeks ago.)

I have no time to take pictures for the moment but I will maybe go to Portugal (Ovar & Lisboa) mid june and maybe we can meet. There I will certainly find time to take pictures (I Hope so).

Have a nice day and again congratulation for your pictures (and exposition ...)

  Good Morning!! It is 6,30am and I was prepared to come here to comment the finalists and WOW!! These were 3 days of big surprises!!!
THANK YOU most of all for your support on my work and for your wonderful words!!!! Words like yours Carolina (you have made such nice comments on my photos lately) MAKE MY DAYS!!!
Now, let´s see your finalists and winners before I have to go out, I learn so much seeing such a beautiful work, it inspires me! Many of you "know" me since one year and saw the changes, I must thank BP and all of you because I learn a lot from your work, while i´m waiting to have time and organize myself before I try to follow some courses from BP!
Well, big regards from Portugal, Su
