A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

Great job! Love the postwork. I can almost feel the tension just before a gunfight. Well done

Great POV and Western style mood effects in this capture, young lady. If you'd sent me the original I could have worked the background for you...even eliminating all of the busy body looky-loos with their flip-flops and shopping bags. Actually, if you find something that you would like to fix after posting your shot, you can always redo the original and repost it.

If you have a lot to learn Melinda then theres no hope for me. I think you did a great job and possibly enhanced the picture by making him even more prominent than he would have been without the tourists, hope they werent Brits BTW lol

This is an amazing work. Your background has given an intense feeling of movement, Superb postwork. Hats off to you!! Diane.

Very impressive and superb solution. Earp was a stubborn man full of tensions, and that's exactly what you achieved with this background. You added to the emotion, and that makes a capture stand out of the crowd.

Excellent render! A couple of years ago passing down E Crockett St in San Antonio I felt ever so excited. At a street sign!

bigger than life it self. cool shot and the wind hits just at the write time. I readed true stories of him and his brother and Doc.[not all was good about him too but we all have our bad side too] . This is wonderful
