Hi again, thank you for your comment on "Blue Eye" same background as the other hummer. Welcome to Caedes Alyssa, you will have a great time here and make alot of friends.
Thank you Alyssa for your comments and observation on "Two Leaves". The leaves where on the step outside our backdoor and it had recently been raining and with the sun being at quite a low angle it brought the textures of the sandstone out nicely and, as you say, they make the photo.

hey thanks for the comment on "proteus".. his hips are like that because his body is being formed from the water, he's not just standing there.. If you know what I mean..
Hello Alyssa, thanks for your comments about Adonis Blue. I agree, not all the insect is in focus. The problem here was he kept flitting from flower to flower and only stayed to sip nectar for about 10 seconds on each one! Barely enough time to get a shot let alone adjust DOF etc. That's the trouble with wild creatures, they don't always do what you want them to - still, there's always next summer...
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi Alyssa, very kind of you to leave a comment about 'when time stands still'. I am amazed at how the macro lens can produce such great images - I loaned it from a friend for a weekend and had some great results - now I have to save to buy that lens myself! :) thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks so much for your kind comments on "Blue-Red Burst"! It's always the most flattering thing when someone adds something of mine to their favorites (and it's about the nicest thing someone can do on caedes.net :))!

Hi Alyssa, Your so sweet to notice that today's my 1 year anniversary of being on Caedes. This is the best site!! The people are great and I've had so much fun making new friends all over the world!!!!! The comments that I have received on my work has really helped me to grow as an artist and it's been fun to watch others take their art to new levels. I hope you stick around and if you ever have any tech questions feel free to ask. Chip

Hey Alyssa, thank you so much for the comment on "Eternal Flame II", I really appreciate it. You are the first one to notice the grain actually, I will try to smooth it in photoshop, thank you so much for pointing it out for me. Critical comments like yours are really valuable. Thank you,
Maria
Hey Alyssa , thx for the comment on celabrate fall , glad you liked it .
With pictures of myself i ment that there are pictures of the leafs and pumpkin that are mine and not stock pictures.
hi Alyssa,
Thanks for the candid comments on 'gilded branch'. The starkness of the branch was intentional. I respect your opinion, and thank you sincerely for offering it. The idea had been to present a branch among leaves, as opposed to a leaves on a branch.

Thanks for the tips, but all I have is a camera and a computer! lol I dont really know how to work some of these programs, and I dont really know what they are, Im a beginner. I'll keep the tips in mind! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for your gracious remarks on crying rose. I believe your warm words surely brought comfort to our depressed beauty queen. She was afraid her beauty would pass away unnoticed but the incredible feedback showed that she was wrong.
Ello Alyssa, thanks for the kind comment on 'Complexicated'. I know, the shine was too bright, just forgot to dim it >:\, but alas, i have to learn from my mistakes so here i go, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thanks for the comments on "New School Kakabeka Falls", as always they are greatly appreciated! I agree, I'm having a hard time deciding which I like more as well!

Hi Alyssa, thankyou for your comments about A Moth - Honestly! There was quite a breeze blowing that day so a nightmare to get the focussing right! These moths only fly for a couple of hours near to midday and this happened to be the only day I was able to get home to get some shots. Hopefully they will reappear next year and I can improve on this year. Wildlife photography can be a bit hit and miss at times. Got to 'meet' your Dad for the first time today at my Beautiful Male.
Cheers,
Steve.

hey Alyssa, thanks for the great comment on "Wish Upon a Summer Star", I'm glad you couldn't tell it's two pictures! Thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback
Hey, I wondered where you got to...thanks for being the ONLY person to comment on my placeholder...haha, its kinda dumb, but thats the point I guess. All the other entries were really flashy so I thought I'd step in and shake things up a bit...mission accomplished?

Hi Alyssa, many thanks for your very welcome comments about Beautiful Fly. I'm glad yu liked him. I'd never been to Greece before or come across such beautiful interesting insects.
Cheers,
Steve.

Mhmm, thanks a bunch for the compliments! Heh, Eric and I have a little rivalry going on here with the Apophysis fractals...xD Except...he stole my monochromatic idea...-_- Well, I guess my monochromatic one just has to be better! xD Yeah, I think I'll have a Christmas series of fractals in the upcoming days 'til Christmas.
Wow, I seriously didn't think "Lunarift" was all that good. I just wanted something simpler, and that's how it turned out. I think the lines should be matched up though, because all I actually did was invert the color of the middle section. Now that you mention it, it is pretty trippy.
Well, the actual flower doesn't look like a person, but the simple elegance of the flower matches the simple elegance of someone I know...it's really, simple?
Thanks for the comments on "The Sea-Vue", they are always appreciated! The funny thing is, is that this was the only side around, and couldn't get any other signs in the shot.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on "Beacon in the Darkness"! I agree with having the lighthouse a little bigger, however I don't have a long enough zoom lens. Oh well, I enjoy the reflections off the water as well.
Haven't seen any work from you recently? Holding back/working on something new?

Thanks for checking out "Main St. Thunder Bay", your comments are greatly appreciated! The photo was taken from about 30 ft away with the flash, so only the sign lit up because it's reflective.

Thanks for the comments on Blue-Red and Green Bursts, as always they are greatly appreciated! That puff of green smoke is actually the smoke from a different firework. This image is actually abit modified from my Blue-Red Burst image (although I'm sure you figured that out already).

Hello, Thank you for you nice compliment on my picture "The Boy." Yes, the lighting was pretty neat because the picture was taken from high above looking down. Take care :)
Thanks for the comments on Lampy In The Sky With Diamonds! Yeah, I was getting a little bit of photographers block and someone (third_eye I think) mentioned that I should break things down into textures, shapes, etc. Went on a photo expedition downtown yesterday to take pictures of various things and this was one of the results!

Thanks for the comments on half of my gallery ;øP
Seriously, though, thanks for the feedback. As for "Sonaré sf5000," it is the least photo-manipulated of the series, so take that as you may.

Thanks for checking out and commenting on BMO, they are greatly appreciated! Yeah, I know what you mean regarding the sky. It does look rather flat (it was kind of overcast that day). As for BMO thats the acronym that the Bank of Montreal uses (I think it has to be something with the bank being from French Canada).

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on Ruffian, it's greatly appreciated! I agree, its not my favourite brick shot either. To be honest it looked much better before I cropped it. It had way more perspective to it, there was alot more to the bottom and the right. Had to crop it 'cause there was a nasty stain/mark on the wall that ruined the shot.

Also, thanks for your comments on Calgary Tower, they are so greatly appreciated as always! I pulled all the colors out of the photo itself, the gray was the best I could find without going straight black from the shadows...

Hey Allysa Thanks for your comment on "AlleyWay (revised) Much appreciated and Glad you liked it,removing that garfiti took ages so im happy that yall are happy with it.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on Grain Exchange, as always Alyssa they are greatly appreciated! To be honest that's the first negative comment I've read of yours! It's all good, I totally agree with the shadow being distracting (silly sun is so low in the sky these days, but it's getting better!). As for the "harshness", I actually backed it off a bit from what I originally was going to post. I dunno, I rather like the contrast difference. However, I do think that the contrast difference look would look alot better if that shadow wasn't there.

Thanks for you comment on Inspirefly. Chris and I have just started working on new things (in an effort to show each other up) so I hope I've learned something. :D
Hey Alyssa, Nice to hear from you. I much appreciate your kind words. Yes, if you ever have any questions about photoshop and it's quirks feel free to ask me whatever. If I can answer it I will. Thanx again and take care...................Amaris

I really do appreciate your dedication. It's the background for my laptop :). Really though, it is a great flower shot (and I'm not one that normally likes flower shots either)!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on Spyder, your comments as always are greatly appreciated! Yes I did indeed take this shot. It was kind of funny actually because as people were walking by they would ask if it were my car. Haha, I wish...

Hey Alyssa,
Thanks for the comment on Queen of flowers :)
I dont know what the black thing is in the middle of the flower, lol, but its kind of unique i guess.
thanks again :)
Alyssa, thanks for stopping by and commenting on Icy Summer Canyon and Caeserian Gate, your comments are greatly appreciated! I'm glad you like those shots. Icy Canyon was a little unsalvageable...that's the best I could get it with alot of post work.
