Shahn Torontow October 13, 2007

WOW Dale, that's one heck of a car, the colors are amazing, really well done.
Shahn #4920785

Duane Carter October 13, 2007

Outstanding... love the perspective and simplicity of the image!!!! Are the fenders that large or is this due to lens size and distance from subject? #4920881

Linda Blair October 13, 2007

AWESOME!!!!! ☺ #4921212

Dale Hardin October 13, 2007

Carolyn, you auto shots are awesome! I love the way you've treated the images to give us more than just the beautiful autos but an superb composition as well. Dale #4921371

Dale Hardin October 13, 2007

Thanks you Patrick, John and Linda. It's so good to hear from you and enjoy your galleries. Hope you don't mind but I stole a few ideas from all of you. Dale #4921408

Dale Hardin October 13, 2007

Appreciate it Shahn. Your "night flight" and "great day" shots are outstanding. I tried to get some good plane shots on our cruise to Alaska but with no success. Dale #4921428

Dale Hardin October 13, 2007

Thanks for the comments, Duane. The fenders are a combination of both. The fenders were indeed large and the perspective just adds to the illusion. Now you need to tell me something. "The incident on blue Lake" How did you do it? It's a great image. Dale #4921452

Chuck Bruton level-classic October 14, 2007

WOW! Great shot for Haloween, the green and dark background and the dark around the headlights are so cool.
Neat image! #4925144

Dale Hardin October 14, 2007

Thank you for the comments Chuck. I thought the color of the car was really cool also. Hadn't seen one quite like that before. Got real lucky. Dale #4925238

Revonda L. Gentry October 24, 2007

Wow!! Fantastic!! #4970818

Dale Hardin October 24, 2007

Thank you Revonda, but I'm the one who needs to say "WOW!" after reviewing your impressive collection of winners. How did you have such close exposure to so many animals? I'll assume a zoo but have had no such success in getting close and getting light.

All of your work reflects a real talent. Thanks for sharing it. Dale #4971971

Excellent Dale, I have got my contacts in, I have lost my glasses to go with them, not meaning to say the iqmge is not fantasctci, it;s the typ;ose. Contratualstions.~Pat #6205420

Dale Hardin July 21, 2008

Thank you Pat. I noticed the typos in another post. Is there something goofy going on with your computer? Had that happen to me once and it took forever to find and fix. #6206533

Laura E. Swan level-classic July 26, 2008

What an AMAZING capture Dale! It's really comes right AT-cha! Huge congrats to you my friend. You deserve it! -Laura #6232144

Dale Hardin July 26, 2008

Thanks so much Laura. When I went to the auto show I got so many good shots and it was working with these that gave me lots of experience playing with the tools of PSE.

After horsing around with about 100 car pix I finally started to learn what different tools were for and how to use them. Got into a car rut there for awhile and haven't done many lately. However I have a number of good images left to experiment on and am getting the urge so you may see more soon. #6234062

Debbie E. Payne August 02, 2008

This is just TOO COOL., Dale. And congrats on the POTD -- You are the first person I've ever known who has one of these prestigious honors! And Laura says it alll...It certainly does look like it is coming right at you. Awesome. Will we be seeing more??? #6262247

Dale Hardin August 02, 2008

Thank you Debbie. As a matter of fact you can see more. I published a book on Shutterfly. If you access the link, just click on "view slideshow" to see everything.
