awesome! feel dizzy looking at it from all that motion!

Big congrats, Sarah!!!!! Love your work! ciao, sheila

i like red too!!

LMAO!!!!! Kemal too!!!! This is just hilarious!!!! sure glad it wasn't a REAL bird stuck in there!!!! Kemal asked me to comment for both of us. He says to tell you "Thanks for the laughs! And I love ducks!!" I echo the thanks!!!! It certainly would make a fantastic image in one of my children's books!!!! I don't have a poem about ducks...yet!!! This image might just inspire me!!!! Thanks again for thinking of us and being so sweet!! Your friend, sheila P.S. Belongs in photography if you ask me. I think Michelle just recently posted something in the forum about photo manipulations, and I believe she said photo manipulations are fine as long as they're not stock photography. You might check out that thread. Also, just wanted to add that I LOVE the postwork on this!!!!

Your photography is awesome!!!!!!I also like the first one better. She looks more natural and a little playful. In the second one she looks less natural. i think she looks somewhat uncomfortable in that pose...particularly the position of her head. My husband takes TONS of photos of me. While we agree on much of what we think is the best, some of his favorites are not my favorites. and vica versa. I take a lot of photos of him as well. it is interesting how the model and photographer sees things differently as far as what makes a good image. keep up the great work!!!!!! ciao, sheila

I love this!!! the glasswork is beautiful, but i especially like seeing the background through the screen!! Great work! have a wonderful day!! ciao, sheila

beautiful!!! left a comment in your gallery! ciao, sheila

love it! left a comment in your gallery! ciao, sheila

It's perfect if you ask me!!! I wouldn't change a thing!!!! ciao, sheila

It's an awesome image, Doug!!! Love it! I think it's perfect just the way it is, but if it were me, I might do it a little differently. I might crop out the top part so you don't see the flame...just because it would make it more abstract. If you take your fingers and cover up the top part, the image gets a little creepy...almost Halloween-like. Can you see the face in the glass??? Fantastic work!!!! ciao, sheila P.S. i'd like to know what you think about my first Painter image. Here's the link to the 2D forum where I posted it to get some serious critique. Would love to hear from others here in the photography forum as well!! Thanks! Here's the link: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12358&Form.ShowMessage=1889694

I'm glad to hear you are safe and sound, Brenda, but terribly saddened at all the devestation and losses. so, so sad. My parents have heard from all of our friends so far, and thank goodness everyone is okay. Some of our friends evacuated to Coco Beach. Yeah, it's unbelieveable that so much damage was done that far inland. Prayers going to so many....{{{hugs}}}sheila

Big congratulations to you!!!!! You so much deserve this!!!! As I said to you a few nights ago, your photography opens my eyes to new worlds right here under our noses!!!! I LOVE seeing these worlds through your eyes!!!! much peace and joy to you, sheila

hi Snakey!! well...what can I say??? I LOVE it!!!! Thank you SO much!!! I'm so sorry i am just now writing you but i had no idea you did this for me. I've only been here at the forum once before. Please forgive!!!! Anyway, i like it a bit darker like this. Looks great! did you do something with the contrast also??? Thanks again SO much!!!! While I'm "away" from RR I'll still be here lurking around. I want to learn as much as I can from the forum...so much here!!! Take care, my friend!!!! much peace and joy to you, sheila
