Hi Steve. Thanks for looking at "Beauty Reigns" and "Sticking Out".
Are the boarders around the edges distracting? I don't know if it works or not. As I shoot 35mm if you crop and resize the image, it loses some of its impact, so I decided to stick to the original on a black background and in some cases add transition lines. The transition lines are meant to give the viewer a gradual transition between full color and black. Also with the edges on a vertical image, it gives you the room to put your program icons in the black and have no impact on the image itself.
Thanks for the comment on shattered dreams. I've looked at his work, and its somthing I really like. For me it kinda reminded me of Jackson Pollack, I really like his work. But anyways, thanks a lot!
Heya Steve :D
Thanks so much for stopping by *Hekate* and leaving such an awesome message! ^_^ I'm not really expecting to win - though that's not the real point of this contest anyway ;] - but I'm very appreciative of your support :]
Best wishes

Thanks Steve for your comments on "Washington Shoreline". The image was shot the way it was on purpose as I wanted to show that even with all the might and power of the sea there is still a soft and gentle side to it.
I'm pleased that you took the time to look and share your feelings about the image with me and that you like it.
