Whoa! Heather, this is FANTASTIC! #45885Debbie S. July 14, 2003
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Love the blue, the texture and the subject and composition...exceptional image! Did you apply any PS...just curious about the blue tint and the texture? #141848Heather K. McFarland July 14, 2003
Thanks Sherri and Debbie! No PS work except tone curve and sharpening. I took that in the deep shade outside and that is what my auto WB came up with. I changed it to shade after the first couple of shots and got a more nature green color, but I actually liked the blue tint better of the two! #141852Bill Morgenstern July 14, 2003
Super Shot! I really like the non-traditional perspective you have chosen for this subject. Color good, texture and lighting, ditto! #141854Debbie S. July 14, 2003
Thanks Heather...hmmm...I'll have to keep in mind the auto white balance...I agree, the blue has an etherial quality to it. #141855Jill Battaglia July 14, 2003
Wonderful!! :-) #141856Gina Harmeyer July 14, 2003
