Hey mmmmmmm........iloridaa_enjekat,

First let me welcome you to Caedes, a great bunch of people here. Thanks for the comments on 'Cowboys Can Dream' much appreciated. I don't usually do stuff like this, it's kind of a desperate move. Glad I put the name on it....I would'nt want to be mistaken for someone famous.

Hi there and welcome to Caedes.net! I appreciate the nice comment on "Soft Stairway"

Hey , thx for the comment on daisy shadows ; glad you liked it. As for an upgrade , if have my camera only 3 months now , so it 'll be a while ;-)

Kia Ora iloridaa_enjekat. I wish to thank you for your kind comment on my Manaia. With it having my lowest C Index ever I was on the verge of deleting it, even though it did get some favourable comments. I did not actually think it was too bad and although I do not normally pay much heed to the C index I was very disappointed. Reading your opinion and comment has pursuaded me to leave it a little longer. Thank you :)

Thanks for your comment on my posting Sheesh 10. Some ugly this critter .. but they seem, in some manner, able to reproduce so they must be attractive to each other!

Cheers!


Rob

Hi,

Thanks for the nice comments on 'Bryce in Perspective.' Indeed, pixelated photos are no fun to look at. I am glad you are enjoying my work! Thanks again!

-Dan

Thank you for the fine critique on The Diva ... Originally, my graphic design endeavours (maybe 57 years ago...LOL) were done on a drafting table/paste-up board, and of course enhanced/finalized in a darkroom environment...But the computer has streamlined much of that and allowed a numeral amount of F/X and processes that would've either taken forever (or even not possible) to do via the "manual" methods! -Ron

Welcome to Caedes! Nice to have someone else from the upper Midwest on board. From Sioux Falls, SD here..just drove through your state a couple weeks ago coming back from MT!

Hi ! Thank you for checking out "Vegie". Yes the softness of the image is achieved purposely.

HI, thanks for the very thoughtful comments on Paint Me, they're much appreciated.

Hello male person from North Dakota and welcome to Caedes. Hope you'll give us a name when you become more comfortable here. I thank you for stopping by to visit the "Baby Sailboats" and leaving your much appreciated comments. I intentionally included the post and rope after shooting the scene from several angles including both verticals and horizontals, with and without the the other objects. After viewing all of them I decided this was best composition. It was a huge pain in the backside (I nearly fell over) getting this shot just the way it is. Still, I do appreciate your views. I cannot hone my craft without the critical eye of other artists and depend on your honest opinion. Hope you'll enjoy the Caedes world as much as we all do. Blessings and sweet dreams. anne :-)

Thank you very much for your kind words about my; Tea Time" image. I am humbled by your words.

Thank you for visiting my "Thumb Butte, Monument Valley" image. I do appreciate your suggestion about the border, if you will look at the comment above yours you will see another opinion. This is a great sounding board for all to express their ideas.

Glad you liked "Parrot re-do" It is amazing what tweaking the color can do.

Hi, thanks so much for your comment on Misty Mountain, I appreciate you taking the time to take a look :)
Regards,

Thanksf or stopping by Ballet on the Rocks. It was a very cloudy day but I didn't want to disturb the lighting because the sun was coming up on the back rocks. I'm not sure I'm pro enough to fix just the cloudiness in the foreground. I sure appreciate your input and again, glad you came by. Anita

Hey, thanks for commenting on "Down The Stretch They Come". I guess boredom can be productive once in a while, eh? Thanks again.

Thanks for your comments on "Flower Tasting" ... Very much appreciated!

PondLily Lovely - Thanks for your kind comments, A. anne :-)

Sailing Ship - Thanks also for your comments on this one. With your great critical eye I was holding my breath! If it passes you, I'm feeling better about it...Blessings and goodnight A, anne :-)

Hi, Thanks for your comments on "Wings". I glad you enjoyed it. :-)

Hi, Thanks voor your tip.
Thanks for your response to ‘The fountain is playing’. I this way frequently cycle such as I go to my work, now I had fortunately my camera at me.
Lien.

Thank you for your words of praise for Hawaiian Easter Lily. I wasn't sure about this one because it's more about interst than grab-your-soul beauty. I'm tickled that it's getting such nice reviews. Thanks A. anne:-)

Reference Bad Hair Day: I'm sure a bunch of kids must have gotton their ideas for their haircut from this catepillar. Thks for stopping by and giving me a chuckle. DigicanMan hasn't commented yet...I can't wait. Ha!

Thank you for your warm and informative comments on "Columbia River Vista" and "Picnic Anyone?". I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the comments but I am really fond of asymmetric shots.

Hi again A, Thanks for the comments on "Gettin' Outa Jail." I'm pleased you would like it so much to pass it on to a friend... blessings, anne :-)

The Ranch That Was - Forgot to mention that this is from an old Kodachrome slide, that "Neat Image" did an excellent job on.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I never look at the numbers, as I don't understand the scoring system. It's just not a concern to me. I'm far more concerned about learning to use a computer effectively, and mastering digital photo editing, which is so entirely new to me.
Thanks again, and if you ever have time, have a look at my gallery.

The OUTHOUSE ..... Glad you enjoyed this "Tongue in cheek" effort. It wasn't a fancy outhouse, but it had a very colourful
background. Thanks for stopping by.
I wouldn't let that bother you. If it's vertically oriented, that's how to present it. I know it's a wallpaper site, but photography has it's own dictates.

Buck Lake ... - Thanks for stopping by, and commenting. It is a great place to live, and the dogs love it, too.

Thanks for taking the time to browse my gallery. Firestorm and In the Pink are among my special favoutites. I face due west,across the lake, and frequently have awesome sunsets, but Firestorm was definitely, the most unusual, and striking.

Thanks so much for the compliment on Confused. It means a lot :)

Best be careful what you say, when who yer sayin' it to carries big sticks... LOL. Thanks for takin' a peek at "Stick in the Water." It's good to conjure stories - it's the kind of stories we need to be concerned about...Just be careful around water, eh, A? anne :-)

Hey! Thanks a lot for the comments on my recent images! I really appreciate it..=)

Thanks for coming by "Painted Desert". It's actually in Arizona not far from the Grand Canyon. It's an awesome place. Glad you like the photo. Anita

GREAT gallery! Welcome to Caedes! Thank you for your very nice PM: and I agree with you totally!

Thanks for your support on my picture “Big Bird” Getting close to these guys is hard for me so most of my pictures are of them flying away.

Bob

Hi there iloridaa_enjekat
:) Your boss? LOL.. he's got a great set of scales there.. thanx for popping in
Marietha

sorry to bring back your nightmare lol :p

Peace :)

I have no idea what that sunken "Buried House" is. I wasn't bold enough to walk right up and peek in the windows, although there wasn't anyone around and I probably could have. Husbands can be rather impatient with camera wielding wives...Thanks for looking. anne :-)

A Morning Mist in Vermont .....Thank you for stopping by, and commenting. Glad you liked this.

Thank you so much for such lovely words about my rose...it means so much when someone has so many interesting things to say about a photo. It sure did surprise me, as I had forgotten I even posted that one.But I have to say it is one of my most favorites also. I like how you explained about the greenery serving as an anchor. So you live in ND? I lived in Riverdale for some time, in fact I spent the coldest day of my life there lol...it was 46 below zero!!! wowzer! But we were in a nice snug house so it was ok. But those winds that come over there can be pretty severe. Where in ND do you live? Thank you again for such very very nice and inspiring words..Verena

Oodles of thanks for slippin' by and have a refreshing Lemon Orange Mango Delight cocktail with me!! It's yummy & I'm sure glad ya liked it...here have another!!

Thanks for the cropping idea..I'd already cropped the image about 20% or so but I'll re-check it. The orange was really the subject at hand with the tonalities and light play and I didn't want to take to much of that away. 8~)

Boulder Town U.S.A. --- I like it without the truck, as well. Always more natural without technological interference. The B&W looks better, too. Glad you like it.

Thank you for your comment for "LARA" I really appreciate it.

I read the idea you left for me on my "March Of The Titans" image, and it's intriguing. I'll give it a try to see how it comes out. My Paintshop skills are a bit limited, and whenever I try post-production work it tends to come out choppy - not nearly the quality that I want in my work. Then I read about people using Spline filters and Gaussian blurs, etc, and I wonder where the heck they find out about stuff like that, and it makes me feel like my efforts are a bit futile. I suppose I'll get it eventually. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey iloridaa_enjekat,

Thanks for your comment on "Ridge", the clouds are moving very fast, they com up and disapear quickly or chance direction, but thanks for the suggestion.

Pathe

I never thought I'd meet up with a real live triffid - nor any other person who'd actually seen the horrid movie! Thanks for your comments. Neener, neener, neener. anne :-)

Penta-tongued lemon lipper - now that's a mouthful that I can't even say once so I won't. But thanks for your kind words about some kind of Hawaiian idunno. anne :-)

Burt and Deb went to lunch. Didn't want to interfere with my important shoot. anne :-)

Hello Dear Caedes Friend, I will be away with business and ministry for a few weeks so I won't be available to respond to comments or leave any critiques. I will check in when I can but wanted to let you all know that I'm not ignoring you, just not available. Bless you, anne :-)

Hi from N.D. I'm in Jamestown. Love to see photos from the state. Thanks.

Hi "No Name";
I am pleased that you liked my "Monument Valley Revisited" Please feel free to visit more of my work,
Fotobob

Thanks for the comments on Spring Flooding. Yes it really roars through in the spring when snow melt & rains are going on. I just posted a recent one from the falls; if you look in my gallery you can see the difference!

Hey there,

Thanks for the comments on 'Lower Falls' very much appreciated.

Thanks for the lovley comments on Early morning much appreciated.
Have a great day :)

Hi A, Thanks for your encouragement on the South Shore Oahu Lighthouse image. I wsn't sure about that one because it's not as sharp as I'd like but It's getting good reviews anyway. Go figure. It probably was windy as I recall wind all the time on the islands. Good point. Still, it was a bright sunny day so the aperture should have been stopped down enough to eliminate any blurring. Who knows. Sometimes it's just hit and miss, ya know? anne :-)

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden ,but I'm glad you found the single rose I left for ya!! 8~)

Thanks for stopping by for a whiff!!

Hi, thanks for your comments and thoughts on B&W Landscapes, greatly appreciated.

Cheers...........

Thank you for your recent comment on Blue Dragonfly ..Thanks for pointing out it is a damselfly ..I found that out a while ago and kept forgetting to go back and change name and description ..Thanks again.

Hello, I enjoyed reading your interesting comments about “Lisgar Falls”. I didn’t know that utilising a colour from the image into the border was officially recommended. It’s just one of those things I do sometimes :-)

Hey, thanks for the comment on "Butterfly" I looked at the image that you uploaded called "Fragile" and it has quite an interesting effect, i think it would work great for my image too, i will try it.

Hey...mmmmm....hey,

Thanks for the comments on 'Cloud Cover' very much appreciated. Jump in your car and head on over and you can be on the trails in a matter of hours.

I thought "Carnival Eyes" turned out pretty good, I'm glad you thought so too!!

thank you so much for the comments on anahola cove. i just looked at your gallery. you have taken WONDERFUL photographs. i'll have to keep checking back or maybe you could add me to your list to notify. thanks jen

I'm stunned at the comments that came in for "Distant Lake." I thought it was a nice shot but one never knows what's going to send others over the top, does one? Thanks for your very kind remark, love. Blessings, anne :-)

Hehe.. Im really really sorry but I didn't get what you were trying to say in your comment on "Holy Sight"..

Thanks for the tip on my spider photo! And thanks for looking in! Carol

Lol. good comment on Flashy Flashy...i dread that name. :) Thanks for looking.

Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated :-)

hey thanks for the info on the noise reudction! going to my cottage today so i will be able to shoot some shoot star trails ! thanks a bunch

Reference: Poodle Spider's House. How big is this spider? It's biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig! This is a huge spider. From tip of hind legs to tips of front legs....must be 4-5 inches. I keep my distance.
Pat

Thanks for the tips. I would have done a better job with it, but I was trying to drive at the same time.

Jonathan

iloridaa_enjekat,

Welcome you to Caedes. We're looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Jackie

Thank you for yoru comments on my photo Green and gold. They were very much appreciated. May you know success and fulfillment.

Hey...how do you pronounce that?,

Thanks for the comments on 'Stevens Peak' I really appreciate it.

Thank you for your comments on "Decision, decisions..."!

anne from planet Woolco here. Baa-aa-aa. :-)

Nei-ei-eigh. I heard what you said about horses from a teenager I know who rides. I didn't quite get what she was saying. You put it much more succinctly A. Thanks for clarifying this for me and thank your friend for all of us too. I did rather think it was her way of checking me out somehow because she didn't appear to be threatening. I will say though, I'd heard from the people who owned the property that some of these wild horses can be pretty ornery so I was keeping my distance beside the truck with the door open! Goodnight, anne :-)

Hello...Many thanks for taking the time to have a look at (MISTY MORNING) and for your comments, it is very much appreciated....I know we have lovely scenery here in Cornwall, but, I have just spent a couple of weeks in Scotland where the scenery is just breathtaking....I will be posting some pictures of that country in the coming weeks...Thanks again....Al;l the best...Mick.

Hey, thanks for the comment on my inverted image. I'm pleased you liked it and thought it was unique. I hope you have a good day!

Thank you for the comment on "Dead End" and "Sproat Lake":-)

Hello.....Many thanks for taking the time to have a look at (GLEN) and for your comments, it is very much appreciated....I spent a lovely two weeks in Scotland and will be uploading more pictures of the beautiful scenery that this country offers...Thanks again....All the best....Mick.

Hi, Iloridaa - thanks for stopping and commenting on "fearless". I really appreciate it. I actually did crop the photo but decided to post the original. The cropping took the wide open feel out of the pic and in my mind it needed to be there. After all, the sky is the bird, it's their domain - what they are about. I wasn't after a "personal level" feel with this - more of a, hmmm, "big picture" feel. If that makes any sense.

tee

Hi, Iloridaa. My sincere appreciation for the lovely comment on "Pinky". This bunch of flowers are from the place where I shot the image "Flower girl" which I have posted before.

Thank you sir for the fine comment on Lakeside Luminescence. Very pleased you enjoyed it enough to leave your thoughts.. Regards....Bill

Siesta...Seine.
It was already a nice view, but she added the human aspect. Glad you enjoyed it, ilorida You're right about the luck. It sure helps, to run into some, now and again..
Thanks for stopping by..

Thank you for your kind comments on "Golden"! I am far from being a pro , but thanks anyway. LOL
I just like to hack around with Bryce and every once in a while I get lucky.
Glad you liked it.

You're a pal A. Thanks for the kind comments on peek-a-boo-bunny even though it isn't the greatest shot. It definitely doesn't win any awards but I liked him and I'm glad you did too. Blessings, anne :-)

Thanks very much for your comments on "Flight 405 to Tower - Ready For Take Off". I'm really pleased you like it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to enlighten me about the painting techniques and filter issues for the Akaka Falls painting. Back to the drawing board or painting board, as it were - when there's time. I really do appreciate you so much A. anne :-)

I think it's like Hans suggested with the Akaka Falls image - when you're there, and you see the glory of such a magnificant sight, the expectations for the outcome of a photograph are high so no matter what comes out might seem dissappointing. I'm just glad everyone is enjoying it. Thanks always for your discerning eye and encouraging remarks. anne :-)

Two of your pictures came up while I was voting today. I gave a 9 on one 10 on the other.
Of course after that I had to look at your gallery...then saw a number of posts I liked. So I amd adding you to my friends just to assure I don't miss any future posts. Jas

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment on 'Still life'. Knowing that someone has the same feeling about a certain picture, can give a lot of satisfaction... I appreciate your kind words a lot.

Thanks for comment on 'I don't have a clue...can you help?'. I suspect your guess is close to being correct. The do seem organic the number found has increased dramatically, as I am checking on them daily now. Jas

You're too kind A. I probably shot about 100 or more images of a whole slew of the poopy buggars (messy dudes, seriously!) and there aren't but a handful worth sharing. Mostly the geese were resting on the docks and I really didn't want to bother them because they have a long way to go before they find warmer weather. Eventually just walking close to them and talking torked 'em off and they got back in the water. Then I got a bunch parading around the park across the street looking for grub. It was fascinating watching them and waiting for that "moment" that never came. oh well. Maybe next time. Thanks for your kind remarks anyhow. I sure appreciate it. anne :-)

Isn't it amazing to see what others see? I never even saw what you did in Contrast & Texture until you pointed it out. Thanks for viewing and sharing your comments. Blessings, anne

hey thanks for your comment on old fashioned wheel..I was actually debating about if I should post it in color or not, but now I probably will.
thanks again, Ashley

Very many thanks for your favourable comment on Penny Farthing. I should have got the whole wheel, but somehow managed to chop it off :(
Eve

Hello again, Many thanks for your kind and generous comment on Junk. Much appreciated and pleased you liked it :)
