How funny (about the directions)! Cool effects with the birds against the full moon! #9455807Merna L. Nobile June 11, 2011
I really like doing this Digital Darkroom stuff, I keep reminding myself that I am taking photographs and use them right out of the camera. Merna #9455974Patricia White June 12, 2011

Thanks Merna, I'm not new but have recently had a little forced downtime (been in the hospital) and have really enjoyed the opportunity to look at the beautiful work here on BP. Normally, I think I'm "too busy" working and never make the time, so being ill has definitely had it's upside! :0) It's very nice to meet you too, and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!! #9543646Tammy Espino July 28, 2011
