Another great image for the DD :-) #1399299Dale Hardin August 08, 2011 0
Thank you Kim. One gets to learn Photoshop when the images didn't come out as expected during exposure. :o) #9589061Wm Nosal August 24, 2011 0

P.S. Come to my gallery and see pages 5,6,7 if you really liked my B&W Finalist. There are more there I think you can appreciate, too! #9635962

Thank you Laura. Had already commented on you finalist and you're right about pages 5,6,7. Besides all your talented creativity, your traditional work is out standing as well. Must admit I was a bit surprised and at the same time, a bit ashamed that I hadn't explored your gallery extensively before. As they say now-a-days, "my bad" :o) #9636649

Thanks for all that you said. -Laura :) #9636822

Thanks Laura. Afraid the singing is over. After all those years performing with the great "Winning Combination" quartet, anything less doesn't peak my interest any more. However, I'll sing a tag or two with any quartet that invites me, just for old times sake. :o) #9637021Aimee C. Eisaman August 29, 2011 0
Very cool creation Dale. The lighting due to the daytime exposure really gives it an erie feeling. :~) Congrats on your finalist! :~) #9640246Dale Hardin August 29, 2011 0
Thank you Aimee. LOL I have to do stuff like this often because the images as they were aren't so good. :o) #9640504Aimee C. Eisaman August 29, 2011 0
Well I would never have known. And don't worry I won't tell anyone! :P #9640675
