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!

I agree with your husband's sentiments in regard to stealing this picture. It's a real beauty, fantastically executed. There is such warmth in this image, such vibrant life as well. Fantastic stuff worth far more than a mere 5-star rating.

Interesting version of your favorite photo, Melinda, but, in contrast to the other comments, I believe the deep red color of the foreground flowers is most distracting, especially when it comes to your purty daughter. I liked the previous versions where the foreground flowers are blurred and subdued.

Beautiful work. I love the selective color. Excellent.

Superb selective colouring!

Watching Super Bowl as I type this. I find the photography gallery more exciting than the game though. This shot really got my attention.
