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!

Interesting focal and lighting effects in this cool postworked macro of the cosmo bloom, Melinda. And good luck with Photoshop Elements. You'll become quickly addicted to it.

The Gimp is fun, but I'm a photoshop guy...anyway, enough of that; I'm determined to make a comment and not ramble on and on about something that has nothing to do with photography per se! I love the intensity of this. The filter work you've done gives this a kind of odd ultraviolet feel that I really like. The colors are so brilliant, but not really oversaturated...they're just crisp and extremely palpable, if that makes sense. This is a really wonderful piece of work.
