GREAT JOB DALE !! BILLY #8434350Dale Hardin March 05, 2010
thank you Jeana. I loved your gallery of farm life. I can also see an EP coming on your self portrait in this months theme challenge. #8434453Dale Hardin March 05, 2010
thanks so much Billy. I was impressed by all your macro work. I've never had much success with those. I'm sure it's all technique, but never have quite been able to get consistent results. Maybe some lessons from you would turn the tide. #8434461Dale Hardin March 05, 2010
You're too kind Billy. By the way, I recall your casting shots very will. Enjoyed your gallery. #8434469Kathy Salerni March 05, 2010

Jennifer and Kathy, thanks so much. I truly appreciate the kind comments. #8549539Aimee C. Eisaman April 20, 2010
Awesome work Dale...the light is fantastic and it looks like he/she is floating on a sea of glass. I love the contrast of the bird and the black water. The colors are also great...almost pastel. Creates a very soothing mood! :~) Congrats on your finalist! #8553324Dale Hardin April 20, 2010

Thanks Jeff. I really wanted to share the "glory" with the entire club because this is the version that you all helped me with. The original version only garnered an EP. #8564673Debbie E. Payne April 23, 2010
