Kia Ora Joe, you comment on Peacock is much appreciated. The image was not cropped - that was the whole pic. Trying to get a good angle was difficult as he was in an enclosure and I had to poke the camera through some netting. My first thought was to bin it and then I decided it was perhaps worth keeping. I do not know whther the considerable time I spent trying to remove some of the shaddows was worth it. If only he had opened his tail it may have been a different shot altogether. :)

Hi Joe
Welcome to Caedes and thanks for adding me as a friend! Hope to see more of your work here!
Noor

Me again! Thanks for the comment on Lake and Fountain. Glad you liked it!

I know what you mean about avoiding sunrise / sunset photos. I’m glad you stopped at “A New Day at Toronto Bay” though for the same reason I’m glad I took it. Thank you Joe, you write a decent review :-)

Kia Ora Joe, I appreciate your comments on Reflections of Autumn.

Thank you very much for the kind comments on "Peek". I really appreciated it.
Have a nice day

Kia Ora Joe, Thankyou for commenting on Car at Crdrona. I was a pity I posted the wrong version of the picture. I was about to delete it but a few people have commented favourably so will leave it there a while. It was cropped from a 2MP photo which originally had a large expanse of road in the foreground, hence the low resulution.

Thank you Joe, for your comments about “Curiosity” He does have a human sort of glare doesn’t he?

Kia Ora Joe, I am pleased you like Heading Home and thank you for your great comment :)

Hello Joe. Thank you for your comments about “Backyard Beastie”. I’m doing laps of the yard looking for more beasties :-)

Joe,
Thanks so much for you comments on Simple Elegance and Timeless . I really appreciate that you took the time to tell me what you thought.

Kia Ora Joe, Pleased you liked On Watch - and thank you for your kind and informative comment :)

Thanks Joe for the comments on “Red On Black” This guy let me get up close and personal.

Bob

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my picture “Spotted Orange” The bright color and unique markings said photograph me. I'm looking to buy a ring flash for this kind of work.

Bob

Thanks Joe for the comments on “Orange On Orange” Far More luck than skill on this one.

Bob

Millions of grateful thanks for checking out Between Me, You and the Lamppost . I appreciate the feedback as I'm new to photography and all the help and comments I can get are VERY welcome!! Thanks again for checking it out and being honest..it means a lot to me!!

Thanks Joe for the comments on “Cactus Flower” this shot was taken at the Des Moines Botanical Center.

Bob

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my picture “Wing Or Eyes” It’s always a challenge to capture these little guys.

Bob

Hi Joe
Thanks for the comment on Summery Bliss. Tell Bill Gates that he doesn't get his desktop back. Very glad you liked it!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for visiting and commenting on Afternnon Siesta..

Appreciate it ..

Kia Ora Joe, thanks for your great comment on Fowl Play. I tried to get it to pose for a portrait but it wasnt having any. I think there is a portrait setting on my new camera but have not figured out the ins and outs yet - I am strictly a point and shoot person, although have found the 'close up' button. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

Kia Ora again Joe, No I have not been raiding the florist shops :) - but you were right with Peachy Pair as they were part of a Mothers Day Bouquet, as was the chrysanthemum on my Blaze of Autumn. All of my other flower shots are from my own or a friend's garden. I really prefer the less than perfect ones, for instance Sexy Rexy is at the end of his life for this season and he is a bit battered and worn but it still seemed to make a more interesting picture than some of the more perfect blooms. I was quite pleased they way the colour of these roses turned out.
Thank you so much for your comment.

Thanks for visiting and commenting on The Florence Nightingales. I appreciate your very kind words. Much appreciated! :) Tracey

Thanks Joe for commenting on my picture “Junk Food” it is the first of three pictures of this little guy.

Bob

Thanks for commenting on the Queen. I took this from a bridge overpass at a great distance from the ship having hopped out of the car for the snap while my husband inched forward in the traffic generated by the docking event. I don't think I took as much care as I could have witht he pressure of dashing back to the car.

Thanks Joe for the kind words on my picture “Junk Food” I finally made it back to the park this week and got some new pictures of these guys in action.

Bob

Thanks for commenting on Under the Arch. So glad you liked it. Tracey

Kia Ora Joe, your comments on Punkaiki made me smile. I hope you got to work :) Thanks for the nice comment.

Thank you for commenting on "City on a Hill". The city is actually surrounded by other hills, but the shot was from the top of a building which I had to climb a great many stairs to get to from the outside.

Kia Ora Joe, your very kind words on Rakiraki are appreciated. Thank you so much for looking and commenting.

Hi Joe
Thanks for the comment on Daisy. I have a digital camera, and yes, I did edit it quite a bit. and thanks for the advice.

Thanks for commenting on Bathing beauty I'm glad you liked it. Tracey

Thanks Joe! You REALLY nailed it on the head with your comment on my Nightmare/Dream {Tooscared to run} entry!! I had a big smile....and it feels nice that you
understood exactly what I was trying to present. Best Wishes! Terri

Now that I look at those greens in Filled with Pink, Joe, they faded when I recolored it - perhaps I could bring in the original photo again and create a new layer, exposing the brighter greens? hmm, worth a try, eh? Thanks for the comments; they're appreciated! - Patty

Joe,
Thks for stopping by “Place of Dreams”. This is an old slide that I restored using photo shop. It was taken some 20 years ago somewhere in Texas by a stream. I blurred it up a little for the contest. Doubt that it will win anything but I like it.
Pat

Hi Joe! THanks for the critique regarding the bokeh on "For Mary and Rex". I never really payed much attention...your right it is rather distracting:-)

Joe, thanks for visiting Ancestors. Our tour guide told us people there are cremated and only four organs are buried; thus, burials are close. The city has 11 million residents so space is tight there. - Patty

I appreciate your comments about Antiques, Joe. Thanks! - Patty

Hello Joe. Thank you for comments and query at “Courting Kookas”. The sky is real, I guess that is the colour we get in this part of the world :-)

Thks for looking at Poodle Spider's House. Don't think we have met before. Pleased to meet you. Hope I hear from you again.
Pat

Cheers for the comment on "Sunset At Sea". I could zoom it in on the bridge a bit seeing as the original images is somewhere around 3mp but I think it might loose some of the sillouette of the rope which I liked.

Joe - thanks for the visit and note at the decaying log - feel free to abstract it! :))

Thanks Joe for dropping by "Blue Skies Smilin At Me" and your comment left behind. I couldn't get over the similarity between our takes on each others photo. LOL As to your having no butterflies, only "tattooed on girls' thighs" ... I thought about that for a whole two seconds and decided not to feel sorry for you, ... on their THIGHS you say ?
