This is a well deserved honor. Your images are always amazing.

Very impressive collection of artists, and I'm honored to be mentioned along with them.

You bring up a very interesting point. I have in the past commented on what seems like a perfect shot except for one minor detail. I think for the most part some folks are just afraid to post some too critical, especially once the WOW comments start flowing.

I once switched the setting to only ask for critical comments on one of my photos. Nothing really changed.

I've noticed that many of my favorite artists have stopped getting their photos rated. I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

Once again, I am humbled to have been picked to be in the company of such fine artists. There is such a high level of creativity on here that is so inspiring. Renderosity truly rocks!

 My heart and prayers go out to you and your father. May happy and positive thoughts change the course of things for him.

Thanks for including me with such great talent.

Quote - I must ask you a question :

-Will you shoot in medium/large format in digital ? (using digital backs I mean because they cost more money than a decent strobes kit )

Yeah, I know, like the price of a luxury car. LOL

I was thinking about these Cambo View Pro Kits. They make several models for different cameras. Seems to be an interesting merger between the flexibility of view cameras and dslrs.

Ever heard of these or known anyone to work with them?

Thanks...but have any of you ever worked tabletops?

I use to be an assistant photographer (long while back) and we used Norman strobes. Everything was shot on 4x5 view cameras with extremely small apertures (like f/64) and we would use what we called a "pop" system -- that is, do multiple flash fires to get enough light on the film. We really needed to maximize our depth of field. Polaroids test shots helped us guage how on target we were to what we desired.

How do you achieve the same effect in digital?

Man, I've been so busy I haven't even had time to check on here...and then Whoa! I made it again to the LWITG!!!

I shot that image after doing my first paid photo shoot. Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Wow!!! I made it into the LWITG!!! Yippie!!! Thanks Renderosity team for chosing my photo, it's very humbling. Thanks to all of you for your great comments. It truly is inspiring.
