Hi Mia, thank you for your kind words about my graduation. I'll send an early congratulations back over your way as you've only got five weeks left. Good luck with any finals and such!

thanks Mia for your kind and insightful post on Sea Meets Sky2. glad you liked it!

cheers - Phil

thanks mia, for the palm house post, now i can see them all...

Hello Mia, Those are really nice comments you left at “Sandy Turbulence”, Thank you.

Dear Mia,
I'm glad for your positive response on my comments on your Palm House image.
I looked at your gallery again and became very enthusiastic of what I found there. So, I left a vew comments with some tips for adjustements. Just bear in mind, I do that because I really think your work is smashing and it deserves some real critics.
Best regards, Paul

thank you for your lovely comment on 'yellow orchid' - i'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Hello Mia, hope you will forgive me, but this message is pretty well canned and much the same for everyone who responded to my image “Rhapsody". I’m stuck in a very tight schedule at work and have been putting in as many as 35 hrs overtime each week for going on a month now. Even though this is a generic thank you, it doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate each comment, it’s just that I have very limited time and not enough of it to respond individually. For all that asked particular questions, I will try to leave an answer at the end of this post. For those who left comments some time ago, please accept my apology for being so late in responding.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT OF MY IMAGES .IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

Tks for the wonderful review on Inside Out!
Glad everyone loved it!

Hi, Mia!
Yes, Sunflowers have an intensity that captures well in photogrphy. I like how you did that one that shows 1/4 of a sunflower like a pie.. the petals are offset and the image looks like the flames on the side of the sun. Very nice.
I posted another, finally got a red one and it IS INTENSE. Please be my guest and check out "Sun-Set Sunflower"! ~Ouimon~

Mia.....Hey You... :-)
TY for the critique on the Sun-Set Sunflower.. I know what you mean.. The color that it picked up was so bright that it is hard to focus on. I had the same trouble trying to take pictures of bright blossoms just before sun-set and the flash would go off and the bloom would look like a hallogen beam.. Just try it with a white daisy! Again, TY for visiting my photo! I appreciate input and personal reflections on pictures. :-) ~Ouimon~

Hey it's cool! You know, I get a good shot and also get lucky when the focus is good. I have to filter through lots of pics that just don't cut it. I think that sunflower color picked up so brightly that it just doesn't fit into the background... like it is an alien just floating there in the garden! Lol. Later, then.... ~Ouimon~

thanks very much Mia for the comments on Lilac Lovelies - they are all valid points you raised and i'll bear them in mind for next time :-)

cheers - Phil

Jekyll Island Driftwood2 was not staged. A storm or some other force place sea shell in this location. I just noticed the pattern and took the shot. Thanks Mia for the very nice comments.
Russ

thanks mia for your comment on "blazing wings".. i tried to explain what i did on the image page.

Thanks for your nice comment on "Ait Bennadhou" glad you enjoy it.

Hi Mia, thanks for your comments on my "October" shot. Glad you like it!

Hallo Mia,

danke für Deinen Kommentar zu "T(h)ree Stumps". Du hast Recht, ich hätte die hellen Stellen auf den Baumstümpfen etwas abdunkeln sollen. Tja, das nächste Mal werde ich Dich vorher um Deine Meinung fragen, damit so ein Lapsus nicht noch mal passiert. Ich werde Dich in meine Freunde-Liste aufnehmen, dann erhalte ich automatisch eine Benachrichtigung so bald Du ein neues Bild veröffentlicht hast.

Liebe Grüße nach Wien... doch in erster Linie an Dich :)
Bernd

Mia - many thanks for visiting my Subtle Shades Of Spring image and congrats for figuring out what music it was so quickly! very impressed :-) I greatly appreciated your kind post

Hey Mia, thanks for your lovely comment on Clearwater Greenfield! Gald you liked it. You asked if I use some effects, because the houses are almost like paintings? I've nothing done to this image, I have only framed the image and took away some clouds. Greetings, Jeroen.

Mia, many thanks for your nice words on Pane Of Glass 1. There is a second one coming and probarbly some pictures of church windows later on too. I´m glad you liked this one.

Hi there Mia, I enjoy viewing your images and I just gotten a new computer and digital camera so I hope to be posting soon. Your friend Terry.

~Lyd

Thank you, Mia, for stopping by "Wild Blue". :)

Liebe Mia,

dankeschön für Deinen Kommentar zu "Just Another Sunset". Es freut mich, dass Dir mein Foto gefallen hat und Du mir trotz brütender Hitze ein paar nette Zeilen hinterlassen hast.

Dafür danke ich Dir.... liebe Grüße aus Rhein-Main
Bernd

hello mia, thanks for your kind words. serene is a word i should have used. i'm sure there are days with bad weather (wind, rain, etc) where it is wild. i saw it in this calm beautiful way. jen

Hello Mia. Thank you for your lovely comments about “Mainly Sunlight”. Don’t worry Mia, I’m not a prolific poster but there certainly will be more photos coming.

Vielen Dank, Mia, für Deinen netten Kommentar zu "Golden Field II", es freut mich zu hören, dass es Dir gefällt. Ich habe Dutzende Sonnenuntergänge im Juli fotografiert, da war ich wohl in einer besonders romantischen Stimmung, die ich auf diese Weise ausgelebt hab' ;-))

Bis bald, nochmals Danke und liebe Grüße
Bernd

Hello Mia,

Fantastic gallery gallery you have, I like very much all your photos.

Mia,
Thanks for the generous comments regarding Displaced, they're much appreciated. The image does have a rather eerie vibe to it.
Take care.
-Gregory

Thank you Mia for commenting on "Sunrise Cove".Appreciate it,,Rob

Thank you Mia for your sweet comments about Color Cascade. Smiles to you and glad you liked it ;0)

Thank you Mia for adding me as a friend. I'm honored!
Terry

Hey Mia,

Thanks for the comments on 'Sunrise Trail' very much appreciated.

I'm with you on it being tough to take a good shot with the wide aperture with the 50mm 1.8. The one i posted was actually at f4 i think. Thanks for your comment.

Hey Mia,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mt.Adams 2' I really do appreciate it. No I did not use a polarizer.

I'm very pleased you like "The Edge of Life" and I'm grateful for your kind comments Mia.

Hello Mia , thanks for your honest comment on my picture "Flemish landscape".

Hey Mia,

Thanks for the comments on 'Backwater Bridge (HDR)' I really appreciate it. Take them both.

Hi Mia,
thanks for the high marks and your nice comment on '20 Minutes Later [rework]'. Hope you like my other photos also :o)

Hallo Mia,
erstmal danke für deinen positiven Kommentar.
Du hast es absolut richtig erkannt, ich war auf der Albertina-Terrasse, Dimage A200, 1/2 Sekunde Belichtung, ISO 100 ... und ein Hama Mini Stativ ;o)
Die Vernissage sollte noch April stattfinden, irgendwo im 6. Bezirk. Ein Kollege von mir hat dort ein Atelier. Aber wegen Terminproblemen wird sich das ganze etwas verschieben, ich hoffe es wird sich im Mai ausgehen.

Kia ora Mia, very many thanks for your kind words on my narnia pictures. Pleased you liked them and it was nice to hear from you :)

More photos will come for sure ;o)
Have you also been there for some shots?
Thanks for your nice words on 'St. Marx Cemetery #1' :o))

Hello Mia, and many thanks for the kind comment on 'CCP'. I am very greatful and glad you liked it.

Ian :)

Thanks for your nice comment on Catharsis ;o)

Vielen Dank für das nette Kompliment über Keen Thinker. Ich mochte den kleinen Kerl sofort. Er war nicht das einzige Lama, aber das mit der coolsten Haarfarbe.

Hi Mia, glad you liked my 'stormy waters' photo - this is a bit more dramatic than I usually post and I was unsure how it would be received! sooo thanks for the positive feedback! :) Patti

Vielen Dank für den netten Eintrag bei Goodbye und ja, die Bearbeitung ist nicht perfekt. Wir hatten im Urlaub nur meinen uralten Laptop und während wir darauf warteten, dass die Bilder auf diesen übertragen wurden, genehmigten wir uns etwas Wein. Tja, so war ich nicht mehr so ganz nüchtern, als ich das Bild im Photoshop hatte. Grins.

Thank you for your "Prague 7" comments. I am one of those very odd people that actually enhances the texture of a photo to help bring out a mood, but I will look for that neatimage site.

Hallo Mia!
Danke für deinen netten Besuch bei 'Rare Trash'!
Als ich den Mistkübel sah da wusste ich genau was zu tun war ;o)

Er war schon ziemlich gruselig, aber ich hab noch alle Finger ;o)
Danke für deinen netten Kommentar bei 'Fish' :o)

Hello Mia, I’m glad you like “Bridging the Williams”. I enjoyed making it and I enjoyed reading your comments about it too. Thank you.

Ah well good work! Thank you for the posting.

Hello, Mia: You wrote -- "I think you are a bit exaggerating there" -- but if you check some of my other comments, you will see that undue praise is not something I give. So I meant every word I said, believe me! - Greg

Hi, Mia: Thanks for your comments on my Otter Lake photo. I confess, I did boost the colors somewhat, as well as reducing the red channel to enrich the greens and blues. (I have no compunctions about "improving" a little on Mother Nature now and then!) - Greg

Hi, Mia: I was just joking about that tourist in the second cathedral photo, but I mentioned it for two reasons -- (1) you had talked about tourists in the first cathedral photo, and (2) I was surprised that you had not cloned him out. (I think I spend more time editing my own photos than most people do.) - Greg

Vielen Dank für Deine lieben Worte über Bad mouth!

Vielen Dank für die netten Worte über Still High. Ich muss zugeben, ich weiß nicht mehr, warum ich das Bild nicht schärfer gemacht habe - ja, vielleicht aus Angst vor dem Rauschen oder vielleicht kam es mir scharf genug vor. Du musst wohl recht haben, hat ein ganz schlechtes Ranking. Smile

Dankeschön für das nette Kommentar über Give it a try ... Es ist ja nicht ganz so typisch für mich, aber was solls ...

Thank you for your comments on "Stillness and a Rose." I really appreciate it!

You've got some beautiful art in your gallery. Thanks for sharing. -jeff

Hey Mia...thanks for the friend add!

thank you so much for your comments on "Unabashed".
I wish I had been able to get more of the sculpture in also but I was at the base and the lens I had was as wide as I could go.

Thanks for the beautiful words. I wish I was there, too. And for the cliff, I'd like to see down there, but sorry, I'm dizzy. :))))

Thanks Mia for your comment on "Chapel Bridge". and yea lightening it up wouldn't be a bad idea.

Justin

Thanks a lot for your time, in viewing and replying to some of my Österreich images.
It is lovely to find another Austrian here since i like your country so much.

Hey again Mia..thanks this time for your thoughts on "Dingmans Creek"..I really appreciate the kind comments!!

Hello Mia,

Thanks for adding me to your friends-list. Hope you'll enjoy my future images.
Saw that you're at Caedes since 2004. That's a pretty long time. Was peeking through your gallery as well and found some very good images. Strange that I didn't notice this before.
It's anyhow a good reason to add you to my friends-list too.
Regards, Cornelius

Thanks For your comment, Mia. I wasn't sure if the color in the distance was a good idea at first, but I thought it made the shot a little more interesting. Thanks for the input!

Hello Mia...I am so happy you enjoyed my FOg photo...I agree with you, I liked the sunlight on the water also. IT makes it so soft. It was nice of you to tell me how much you enjoyed this photo...thank you again. Verena

Hello Mia :-) thanks for your nice comment to my posting "Austria 77"
Been to Salzburg at least 15 times and i never get bored with this lovely but small city. I also love the region, so nearby the German Berchtesgadener Land, and the Austrian Salzkammergut. Danke schön und viele grüssen aus Holland.

Hi Mia,
Thank you so much for the very kind words on "Spruce Forest", i really appreciate it a lot!

Hey there Mia..thanks so much for commenting on my waterfall shots...always very much appreciated!!

Hi Mia, Thanks for the comment on Snow Leopard 2.

hello thank you very much for yer comment!! :D

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on "A Hard Day". The dog was a little out of focus b/c I was taking the picture from the front seat of a moving car. The dog was too lazy to move lol

Seeing you add me to your friends list I thought I'd go check out your gallery. Wow! I remember seeing a few of your submissions previously, and even giving a couple well-deserved high marks in the voting booth, but I didn't realize that so many of your photos are exceptional. I'm adding you to my own list so I can see what new treasures you're willing to share with us. Thanks for your consideration.
