Hey Paul,

Thanks for the comments on 'Lake Wenatchee' very much appreciated.

Hi Paul, thank you for taking the time to comment on "Vulture" - I'm glad it caught your attention!

Thank you Paul for taking the time to view and comment on my Forest Dreams image. It was taken at the same location as my Mountain Stream Beauty 2 image. I appreciate your support of my image.
Russ

Thanks a lot for visiting *Days Ending* Paul...

Much appreciated.....Bob

Hey Paul,

Well now ... I am 'chuffed' ... to no end ... to have read your most kind appraisal on my "Outside My Window."

When the concept came to mind, I must admit ... I couldn't wait to see it come to fruition. Might have rushed some aspects, but overall I was pleased with the end results. Glad that you liked it.

As to your quesitions?

Hmm, some times ... some times, it pays to keep your cards close to your vest. No lessons per se, but I am always expanding my knowledge.

Your 'other' question?

Can't say, as it might incriminate me and be used against me ... and then I would have to produce some good stuff alll of the time, lol.

Thanks again ... annnnd ... feel free to write a 'book-style commentary' ... any time. ;o)

Les.

p.s. Will get back to your galleries soon, hang in there.

p.s.p.s. Hope I got the reference implied correctly on 'chuffed.' :oP

*peers up*

I really, really need to cut back on the coffee. :o|

Thanks Paul for viewing and commenting ... and so kindly, I might add ... on "The Storm."

That one needed to 'get out of me' for some reason ... so ... I let it see the light of my monitor.

Hope this messages finds you and yours well, as I have been checking in on your gallery for new works. Look forward to it then.

Les.

Hi Paul, thanks so much for the kind comment on "Please??", really appreciated:)

Hi Paul,Many thanks for the comment on 'Two Halfs' I am very glad you liked it and took the time to let me know. I am very greatful.

Ian :)

Me again paul,Thanks for the shout on 'Sonic Wave' I am very glad you liked it.

Ian :o)

Lol ... now how coincidental is that?

Reading one of my above 'chapters' ;o) ... I see that I make mention of too much coffee. It never dawned on me till now.

Glad you enjoyed "Break Time" Paul. I did like the concept and thought it would be a fun image to present.

Thanks again for taking the time to view.

Les.

Hey Paul,

I think the middle ground between your monitor and mine would suit my purposes for achieving a better balance on "Words".

The intent was to go a little ... a little, uhm 'high key-ish' if I can use that term. An experiment in composition for me to a degree to bring forth and keep focal attention on the butterfly.

Rendered some lighting effects, in addition to some other blending modes, filters ... yadda yadda ... yadda stuff. It is not as pronounced on mine here, and at times I have found posting on the site here to be a bit of a crap shoot on some pieces.

But, greatly appreciate your honesty Paul. No worries on that aspect with me rest assured.

Thanks for taking the time to view and comment, 'preciate it.

Ta for now,

Les.

Hi Paul, thanks for the kind words on Inspired at Spring Lake. I was in a strange but very happy mood yesterday and I thought the pic reflected that. :)

Thanks a lot Paul for your view and encouraging words on my "L'ambiance d'Auvergne (9)" capture!
I really do appreciate your support :-)

Herman

Hi Paul! thanks for the cool on my layers shot! glad you enjoyed! :-) Jan

Hey Paul,

Hello Paul ,thanks for commenting "Water Castle"

very much appreciated, Don

thanks Paul for you comments on "egyptian 7.1" glad you stop by.

Hi Paul, glad you enjoyed the not so cute vulture:) thanks for the kind words !

Hi Paul, so glad you enjoyed infra red raw! thanks for your comment! jan

Hey Paul...thanks for your kind comments on "Sulfur Stream 2"...I'm glad you stopped by!

hey, thanks for commenting on "life", you said you wondered whether the 'ghosting' was deliberate. if by ghosting you mean that blueish looking stuff, that was definately not deliberate and i didn't even notice it, so thanks for pointing that out.

Hey Paul,

First, allow me to say this ... no worries when you get around to having a look see at my creative imaginings. And but of course, I do sincerely appreciate you taking the time when time and opportunity permit. :o)

Yeah ... "Fixer Upper", I love the base image. I have some rather grand plans to complete the digital renovation of sorts and bring out more of the beauty that I still see, even in its' current state.

The architecture of the windows, is but one element that draws me into that image.

So ... a few more ... ahem ... 'lessons' ;o) ... and I might present a mini-series.

Don't worry though ... you have lots of time to devote to your art before the next posting.

Thanks for the visit and for your insight ... it is an intriguing image, isn't it?

Les.

p.s. You are correct on the fractal aspect. Some times, I just can't leave well enough(?) alone, lol. Just got to keep on mucking about at times.

Hello Paul. Thank you for your kind comments about “A Pair of Pitts”. I’m flattered that you think it’s worth a ten.

Hey Paul,
Thanks for the comments. You to have a varied and interesting gallery. I only wish I had the time to play for hours on the computer. I'm an artist and I don't even have the time to sit and paint. And about the flowers.....I have thousands of flower shots, great ones, but I feel bad posting them it seems so uncreative some how.
Jolly good, John

Kia Ora Paul, many thanks for your kind remarks on my Sunday Respite picture. Always nice to have your opinion:)

Thanks for the comment on Given a choice what would you photograph!!!

Hi Paul, thanks for your comments on my photograph of the vulture - and yes he does look at Gonzo - maybe I should change the title! lol! ...and no woman could look that ugly, that is why it is a he! haha!

Thanks Paul.
Yeah, "Normandy" was just for fun. Glad ya got a laugh out of it!

Hello Paul! I'm glad that you viewed and commented on my "Pssssst! Wanna Buy a Fishing Rod" photo. He stayed at the end of the tank watching the people and a smaller bass kept biting and nudging him. He certainly has had a hard life up till now. I appreciate your support. Thanks,
Russ

Hey Paul,

Ya know ... I saw those 'threads', as I will call them and something struck a visual chord ... just didn't make the connection. Bank notes indeed.

YaY!! I got me parameters to print and make money!!

Thanks Paul for the nice comment on "Arcane dreams"They are some great brushes:)

Hey Paul,

Hey Paul,

Get this ... I ... uhm ... forgot about this part insofar as comments received go ... the thank yous.

Oopsies. :o\

That said, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and for the laughs. One would think that one would know better than to put what I did in the image's narrative ... nu uh, not me. :oD

This flame did mark a break through of sorts for me, in that I came to understand the inner workings of the 3D version more so. Finally had some time to put a concerted effort in familiarizing myself with some aspects.

'See' you soon in your galleries ... till then, I trust that my words here find all is well with you and yours.

Les.

p.s. Er ... our definitions of 'soon' may vary a tad. Just a tad.

/\ Kidding a little here. :oP

Thanks Paul, for commenting on "Up Close And Personal". It was just too good an opportunity to miss. So I just took as many shots as I could.

Thanks for your comment on my photo Blue oxygen. I'm glad you liked it. I have it as my desktop right now! I liked it as my wallpaper so much that I decided to share it with others. Thanks again.

Hehehe Paul :-) well, i am not quiet certain or the flag is big enough hehehe. Beeing from a totaly flat country myself (Holland) the Swiss flag can not be large enough ! Their 4,5 km high up mountains have an icy... we just do not get overhere.
Serious now, the flag is in perspective. Shot with an wide angle lens it just looks out of proportion. But as a fan of Switzerland i do not mind the size shown here. If you would have seen the ship from the side, the flag would be in just the right proportions.

My own flag is burned by islam nations right now, due to a 16 minute movie. Excuse my language, but there was a time that the Dutch and UK flag ment something.

Kia Ora Paul. I guess we get complacent dont we - the comments I have received about the beauty of the view from Walter Peak in Earth's Eye makes me realize that. I had visited it several times before the 'shutter bug' bit me and never appreciated it fully.
Many thaks for your comment, always nice to hear fro you.

Thanks, Paul for your nice comment on "Around the farm (Turkisch
delight !)...as you can see I changed the title!.....lol!
John

Hey Paul,

Many thanks from Raynie and me on the rework of "Good Morning". It is sincerely appreciated by both of us, rest assured.

And given what has been transpiring as of late ... curious ... how does her original look, or did look to you prior to monitor adjustments? Next convo and chin wag, perhaps.

That said ... thanks again for taking the time.

Les.

Hey Paul! I would like to give you a delayed thanks to your response on my "marble sun" I always appreciate a second opinion :)

Hey again paul! Thanks for your opinion on my "scorch" And i think im officially addicted!! ><!

Hey Paul,

Nice to 'see' you mate. And thanks for the kind words on "Linked".

Fingers crossed that the developers get the kinks ironed out of 2.08. In case, you are unawares ... this discussion thread is kind of, sort of ... keep track of things.

Thanks again for taking the time to view and comment.

And welcome back to the asylum. :oP

Les.

haha, well none of my stuff can cause an optical illusion so i think you still win!

Thank you Paul for your kind comments On Realize1&2. I appreciate it.

Thanks for your visit and kind comment on "BIRD OF PREY" Very much appreciated.

U're right about the fact that some of my works are made after tuts but not my latest works!It's normal to have a guide at first time until u learn the software!

Hi Paul
Thanks so much for taking time to check out "Caedes Desktop" and leaving a great comment:)

Paul,

Thanks for the comment on "Female Rubythroat and Zinna". I haven't posted any new work for quite some time as my wife and I are the proud parents of 11 month old twins. So it has really cut into my photograhy time (except for the kids) :)
I keep hoping that things will slow down at work and home enough for me to start posting again.

I envy you living in the UK, such a long and storyed history. I spent 6 months in Croydon for an IT project my company was working on in 94 and loved every minute of it.

Thank you, much love
Widow~

I've always been impressed with photos taken in the Uk. Your sources have a magnificent intensity!

Hi Paul ... Many thanks for faving "Backyard Birds 9". Sherree
