The comment you left on my profile reminded me of a time when I was out taking pictures with far too big gloves. :) Had trouble finding the button to take the picture. I completely understand about the cold and overcast, it does that sometimes to my pictures as well. Ashley

Hi, thanks for stopping by 'Normanton Church Tower'. I tried it in a variety of tones (B&W, sepia etc) but still preferred the original. I'm working on other effects in Photoshop at the moment. Your comments are always very much appreciated...thanks again...Jacquie

I'm happy to hear you liked the shot "Desktop Rose" even though there was an issue that almost kept me from uploading it. Somehow I inadvertently reduced the JPG quality to 75 losing some of its impact. Also the graininess you referred to was not a result of a high ISO, but instead a case where I had notched up the sharpness in my camera (Canon A700), and simply overlooked 'unsharpening' before the upload. My mistake, but for those of you who might like a little less grain, you may 'unsharpen' in your editing program. I wish I could resubmit, but what's done is done.......Neil

Hi Photo Guy. Glad to hear YOU liked "To Holland with Love". because apparently no one else did {generating a score of only 13} and so Caedes nixed it. Thanks again for all your generous comments............Neil
Sometimes you need to stop thinking so much and go where your heart takes you.... I apologize for not comment on images lately, it seems autumn is a busy time of the year for my work...
Great to hear from you again Photo guy in reference to "Jezabel II" Your comments are always appreciated. Regarding the graininess: My cameras are all point and shoot and with the exception of the Fuji FinePix F30 which I rarely use for flowers, I never shoot over ISO 200, because I detest NOISE. My explanation for the grain (which I also dislike) is that I have a tendency to overshapen, I guess without realizing it. Have a great day.......Neil
Hi Photo Guy, thanks for your compliments on "Fall Moon". This was one of those that I rushed home, grabbed the camera and ran back out. As it was, I almost missed the trees. Thanks again!
Hi, sorry I've not been on top of your recent posts. At the moment, I am involved in other projects that will take me away from Caedes for a while. I've just had a chance to catch up , and want to let you know that you are continuing to create one very unique collection of images. I will check in from time to time, but meanwhile, I send very best wishes for Xmas and every success for the New Year...take care..Jacquie
Thanks again for your positive comments , this time for "Essence of spring". I am truly appreciative that you enjoy my springtime photos here in our winter wonderland...Neil
Thanks for your comments on 'December Sunrise'. My daughter and I woke up just before the sun rose and we almost didn't get out in time, but I managed to get this one. We hope to do more shots like this, when the temperature goes above 30 again!

Glad if I helped at all (re Red/Blue Burst critique). Most of the time I find it difficult to say exactly what I feel about a photo in case I upset someone! Look foward to seeing a revised pic? Kate

In response to your comment on Another Point of View . Thanks for the kind words. I get lucky once and a while and they turn out decent.... Thanks again....Rod
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill

Thanks so much - you were instrumental in making me do the deed and take pics of the Eclipse of the Moon! What a shame you were not able to see it - quite a sight right at the end, though the in-between bits were just hard work and bloomin ffffreezing! lol Kate
Thanks for commenting on my picture “Water Tension”. Kermit’s pond is still frozen but it is 75 degrees out today so it won’t be long before Kermit is back in action.
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way
Thanks for the kind words on Golden Day. My son and I decided to go bike'n for photos opps and just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Thanks for the comments on McNair Creek. I used the high-contrast B&W tutorial you sent me and added a small gradient from the bottom up to tone down the uber whiteness of the rocks.

I suppose some peoples' definition of 'soon' varies?
Kidding a little. Got my fingers crossed too, as I await word back from the 'eye in the sky.'
That aside, really nice to 'see' you Matt ... and thanks for viewing and commenting so generously on "The Storm.'
I was pleased overall, but as usual ... and in hindsight, see some changes I could make to improve it. Think the fact that the base image was so small a file and that I ran it through Neat Image, and then the sites' recompression affected certain aspects.
I would be really curious as to what it would be like to have a 'Spyder' (<--- think thats right) like you. I gave up on the monitor calibration utilities that I have at my disposal and now just adjust according to me eyes and brain.
I was thinking it was something along those lines. Seemed about the right focal length, and the amount of blur you had seemed like it was probably one that was pretty wide open. I have a 1.8 and it is awesome. You can almost take a picture in the dark:P.
i apologize for my delay in replying to all of your wonderful comments...i am busy working a couple of jobs and enjoying the last summer with my friends

Thanks for your nice comments on "That's Me", very much appreciated. I already change the gallery of the photo, I don't found this gallery when I post the photo, Shame on me.

Hi Matt.
thanks for commenting on "peering inquisitively". that pose only lasted a moment or two, but I had plenty of time to set up the peacock in a shot, and it helped alot. I'm glad you liked it. Rob
