Hi Rob, thanks for adding me to your friends list, i'm honnored!
Why don't you give me some comments on my photo's, i'm sure i can learn from it.
greetings,
Wim

Hi Rob, and welcome to the best place on the net to share your photos and make great friends. Thank you for your comments on "Hummingbird"

Hey Rob ... How do like Caedes ? Thanks an awful lot for your comment at "Thendara Train 4". I had to grin a bit as you understood the frustration caused by inconsiderate boobs that ruin a photo opportunity. Thanks again.

Thank you Rob, for yor kind comments on "Butterfly 1" so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Rob, for your comment on "Tiger Swallowtail" glad you enjoyed it. I use a Nikon D-50 for all my recent photos, I used a Nikkor 55mm-200mm lens from about 8 feet away.

Backyard Critter was a bug that I spotted in my apple tree in the back yard. No special setup just a telephoto macro with a fill flash. Thanks Rob for the nice comment.

Wow, you've only been a member for 12 days and you already have the highest-scoring c-index photo in the new images gallery. Impressive!! I look forward to seeing more of your work. --Justine

Mountain Stream Beauty 4 Rework is a test of Photomatix software. This software blends multiple images of different exposures to create an image with greater tonal range. See the difference here. Thanks Rob for viewing and commenting on this image.
Russ

Thanks for your comment on mama's cookin! Greatly appreciated

Hey, Rob ... I'm glad you liked "Inside the Hibiscus Bloom". Thanks for your comments!

Hey there Rob,
I appreciate you taking the time to comment on "Belle" the rose; glad you didn't need to be critical! Thanks :) --Justine

Hi Rob, so glad you liked my "Birds eye" photo, and thank's for the comments.

Thanks for commenting on lily pads. I'll look into stopping it down to see what happens. Ted

Hey Rob ... thanks for your comment on "Comin' Closer To Canna" ... much appreciated. That "potential for some abstracts" you mentioned ... think I'll leave that for the real artists ... I have all I can do to photograph what I see ... what I imagine is beyond my capability. :o)

I'm glad you enjoyed the colors in the Basketful of Sweet Peppers pic I put up. That was what originally caught my eye too :)PJ

Hey Rob..thanks so much for viewing and commenting on "Magentique". The colors of the lilies were really unbelievable, and I didn't change them at all. So glad you liked it :)
~lori

Thanks for your comments on Druid's Circle. You made some interesting points that I hadn't considered, and I believe the clouds were moving left to right, so good guess!

Hello Rob, thanks so much for your nice (and funny!) comments on "classical beach" !

Jacky

Hi Rob, thanks for stopping by Garden Gifts. I'm glad you liked it.

I'm glad you liked Majestic Monarchy. One of the reasons I took it was because of just what you saw..the colors of the flowers and the brilliancy of the butterfly itself. I was lucky that the sun was just where it was, and I didn't have to do any color enhancement at all on her or the flowers. It's always fun to post a butterfly capture when it's possible. :)PJ

Thanks for your recent comments on images in my Gallery. I appreciate your support.
Russ

Thanks for getting up in the middle of the night just to check out my flower "The Invader".You know if you lived in the corrupt State of Illinois you could have slept in an hour more, plus our criminals are more hospitable here. I've read recently that city officials are thinking of moving Hagerstown to Jersey; is that true? Anyway, Rob, I'm sure my flower would have thanked you for all your compliments (even though I did hold the camera), but unfortunately its gone to that big field up in heaven where all good flowers go to die...............Neil

Hi Rob, thank you for checking out my "berries" pic. What i actually used to get that effect with the texture was just paint brush, can't remember witch one though sorry. Thanks for the interest you showed

Car Buffs - Series 2-11

You wrote "I like this. The first thing my eye goes to is the steering wheel. The first thing my mind goes to is what's in the reflection on the door? Looks like you've got a nice landscape going on. Although there's something on the door that I'm not quite sure of. I'm curious to whether that was thought of when the photo was taken?"

_______

Rob, to be honest with you by the time I had taken this shot I had about 150 shots in the camera and was ready to move into my day with other interests. The earlier shots were more carefully planned (some of which I've posted here). Then this Austin-Healey 100-6 pulled in. This was, by far, the finest example of this car that I've ever seen. It was the best car in the show and an absolute joy to see driven, no less to have the provide to photograph. As to the reflection, apart from the sky, the lady in the shot ws unintentional and not known to me.

A little while later I had a PERFECT shot lined up showing the fender ports on an old Buick. The car was pure black and deeply polished. The problem was the lady standing next to it seemed unable to move and the only thing the shot would have produced was a fine reflection of her butt in white shorts. I skipped what would have otherwise been a great shot. Sometimes you shoot for the image, sometimes you shoot for the reflection... sometimes you just need to walk away. ;)

Cheers!

Rob

Hello Robert. Thank you for your thoughtful comments about “The Water’s Fine”. It’s the water that makes this one special for me too :-)

Hi Rob, thanks for dropping by Meese...glad it caught your eye...kind of a crazy image, eh?...hehe...couldn't resist throwing in that well known Canadian phrase...thanks again...I appreciate your time and humor.:Pat.

Hi Rob ... Glad you got a chuckle out of "Me And My Shadow". Thanks for letting me know with your comment. Appreciate it.

Hi Rob,
Thanks so much for your comments on, "Venerable Old Timer." Glad you liked it!
~Paul

Hi rob -- thanks for the feedback on Echinacea with Bee. Getting the little bug to comb before the take was an issue. I am glad you noticed.

Rob:
Thanks for your comments on the "Little Covered Bridge". I agree that the fence detracts somewhat from the main subject. Unfortunatley, the fence was too close to the bridge for me to omit it from this side, and a locked gate prevented me from checking out the possibilities from the other side. Maybe when I'm in that area again I can catch a view from the other side. I appreciate your critique.
Gary

Thank you for commenting on "Garden Beauty" I want to thank you for being honest and giving me feedback on how to make my picture better. I will definately try to follow your advice. thanks,

-Vanessa

Hi Rob, many thanks for dropping by to view my daughter's caricature of George W...glad you enjoyed it...I appreciate hearing from you.:Pat.

Hi, Nice to see your comment. I'm pleased that you liked the monarch butterfly in Queen of the Garden. Thanks. Cindy ;0 )

Hi Rob! Thanks for your comment on Butterfly. I would have loved to have gotten a better shot of the butterfly, however, I did not get the opportunity as it flew away before I could take any more. This was the only shot I was able to get. I had just gotten home from work and noticed it when I scared it into flight. I was lucky enough that it came back and gave me the opportunity to take this shot.

Hey Rob ; thx for the comments. The rapotor pics were taken during a fair and they hade a bird demonstration . The exif is this : 70-200 mm lens ; 135 mm focal length ; iso 400 ; f 8.0 ; 1-800 sec.

Kristof.

Hello Rob, tks for your comments on To my Caedes friends!
It was lovely while in full bloom also, I am not sure whether or not there are any postworthy?
JuneBug

Thanks for checking out 'What The...'. You have a good eye and great ideas on this. The shot is from a boardwalk that surrounds a little pond, so I am about 5 feet above him. I was testing a new Canon S3 IS (12x zoom). I didn't have a polarizer and was afraid of too many reflections, so I did zoom it. I noticed afterward (of course) that his feet were cut off, so I agreed whole heartedly that it was over zoomed in this case. I didn't see what caught his attention. Thanks again for your comments, much appreciated.

The title isn't view of the monastery,but view FROM it means that i'm on the monastery it is behind me!!

Hi Rob, thank you for your nice comment on "I got a hold on you" I am so glad you enjoyed it.

My apologies Rob for being so tardy ... been on vacation for a few days. Thank you so much for your comment on "Regal Pose (Resized)" I appreciate your taking the time.

Hey Rob, thanks for leaving a comment on "Li'l Chickadee" much appreciated as always. I agree completely with your take on the negative space. In my haste I never considered it when composing the shot ... and when I saw it on my PC there was nothing I could do ... that's the full size image ... I didn't crop it at all just resized it. Thanks again.

Hello Rob, thank you for taking the time to compliment and critique my “Trader In The Sun” it’s much appreciated and I’m glad you like it.

Thanks Rob for the visit and comment on "Chickadee 2". Appreciate your taking the time to give me such a detailed analysis. Gave me some points to ponder for future shots. You were the only one commenting that didn't "chicken out" and had the guts to make a decision LOL ... Thanks again.

Hi Rob, thank you so much for your comments on my last few photos, I am way behind mostly because I was watching the St. Louis Cardinals on there way to their World Series victory. I now have time to start commenting again on your work. Have a great day and a better tomorrow.

Thanks for your comment on Blue Mountain Building, Rob. I agree - it would seem to be a southwest design transplanted! I'm going to keep investigating it.

Wave action was from the 14th floor and over 250 yards. Ted

Hi Rob. I'm Late ... I'm late for a very important date .... Way behind in my "Thank you's" My apologies ... I'd hate you to think I didn't appreciate your comment left at "Gold No More", "Look WhatI Caught" & Mmphff" because nothing could be further from the truth. Thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Not a problem, John. I visited your website and found it very touching. Good to hear from you again.

Rob

Hi Rob, thanks for comments left at posting Raindrops On Rose....gerry..

Hi there Rob ... thanks for taking the time to comment upon Frosted Pink. I am glad you like it and I appreciate the comments.

Thanks for ~Water Features~ Rob.....I was afraid that the fog would blur the background trees out too much...and spoil the waters effect!...appreciate you stoppin by!...Bob

Many thanks for your comments on the Poinsettia. You are right about the appearance. The blurring came probably from the lights from different directions and the original edges must be cut out (about 3 pixels) when the background is so dark.

You are absolutley correct about the background! What is even more funny is that I have a version of that picture masked out. (bezier curves mask in photoshop) and a slighty gradated backdrop. It looks really nice. I wish I could upload it, but I dont want to take my 1 upload spot that I have. Anyway... it looks really nice with the background dropped out and I wish that I had uploaded that one in the first place. Thanks for the comment!

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'Inside Eden' very much appreciated. Thanks for the 10, the c-index shows you were the only one.

Thank you Rob, for your comments about “Cindy’s Hut”. It really shouldn’t surprise us when sunsets change so quickly. After all there is a lot of atmosphere between the sun and us. I’m still amazed at times though.

Thanks for Oh Goody-Lunch!....Great idea that...wish I thought of it at the time eh!

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind comment on "Reminiscent", glad you liked it:) have a great day !!

Jacky

Hi Rob,
Thanks for you kind comment on my picture "drops", a appreciate it wel.
Wil

Hi Rob, thanks for stopping by my Ashes pics. The urn is over 120 years old and is extraordinarily fragile, more so than the hope diamond I would think:) Have a great day, Kelcey.

Hello Rob. Thank you for your comments about “Flight in White”. I was lucky to hold the highlights in this one. Shooting raw files helps in that respect :-)

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'Winter at Goose Prairie' I really appreciate it.

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind comment on my "Lily", much appreciated, especially since you have some great lily captures in your gallery so I have a lot to live up to:))
Thanks again and have a wonderful day !!

Jacky

"Wow, such vivid colors in this. Love the big tangle of masts."

@ Rob
Thank you Rob!
Sincerely!
John

Thanks Bob, for giving "Desktop Rose" a ten in the voting booth. I cannot see the blue you are referring to in the right hand corner, but then I'm basically color-blind, so hope you understand. The blue could very well be a result of my camera's (Canon A700) oversharping which I had set up a couple of notches and did not notice before uploading. Glad you enjoyed the photo..............Neil

Hey Rob?

Thanks for the comments on 'His Name is Rob' very much appreciated. Camera? Could be...a tiny wee one.

Hi Rob ... Thanks for commenting on "Surprise ... Surprise" and the chuckle you gave me. Much appreciated my friend.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on "Ziggy's Favorite Window." So funny that you think it looks like a llama! It's been driving me crazy, because the more I look at it, it looks like a ferret or weasel!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by Royal Colors. Your comments are much appreciated!

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words at "Fragile", means a lot to me:) have a real nice weekend !!

Jacky

Yep, Rob, it was I that captured "Westwinds". Tickled you associated the image with me. Thanks for the favorable comments. Hope you're having a great day there in Maryland - We got treated yesterday to a foot of snow here in Northern Illinois: didn't really need it......Neil

Hello Rob, Thanks for your thoughts on Spectrum Anarchy, Call again, Steve.

Hello Rob
Thanks for dropping by my Soft Shades wash-day wool! It certainly is a chore having to fit in the usual maintenance - in between work and enjoyment!

Thanks Rob for commenting on "Happy Holiday Essentials". Sometimes the season really gets hectic and peoples nerve's get frazzled around this time of year. I for one find myself becoming Ol' Scrooge sometimes. So it's best to be as humorous as possible and lighten up as best as I can. It is simply an attempt at fun and as always I try to bring a smile if I can but if not know that I sincerely try to cheer people up as crude as I may be sometimes. You have a great season.

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the kind words regarding Crayola Sky, they're much appreciated. Glad you like it! The sky is the ultimate source of amazing color. I just try to not get in the way too much!
-Gregory

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'Vacation Island' very much appreciated. Wading? *looks in mirror to see if I look stupid*..........*goes back and looks again just to be sure*.......no, no wading....I levitate. *Rob goes to mirror to see if he looks stupid*

Hello Rob. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about “The Coal Loader” with me. It’s nice of you to take the time.

Thank you Rob.. for your opinion on '~STEPS~'....The programme I used. is somewhat difficult to work!......I will have to get used to it a bit more, for further posts!, I did 'dabble' about with the colours....The comments are very 50/50 so far.....
appreciate your time.......Bob

Hi Rob, glad you enjoyed "what a dream" thank you for taking the time to comment. And have a great day.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'Shaving Cream' very much appreciated. Left no cans...I have had to pick stuff up from others to get shots without the garbage.

Hello Rob, Thanks for your supportive remarks on "The Mall".

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'Stump Warriors' very much appreciated. Whipped cream? No..that's in Marshmallow Land...you have to go to 'Cool Whip.'

Hey again Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'River Sunset' I really appreciate it. I'm going with the stonefly.

Thank you for visiting 'Bottom's Up' Rob....Big Butts eh!....'sexy'?....much appreciated.....Bob

Thank you Rob, for your valuable comments on the "Twin Flames". My only excuse for the minor faults is that it was near midnight when I did this and that I should have waited till next morning, looked at it again, instead of posting it right away. Appreciate your comments very much.- Raj

Thanks so much, Rob, for commenting on "Pieces of Reality." I've always likes the way the blades of grass are positioned, too, and I wish I could say it was do to my personal skill, but it was really completely serendipitous. The grass was part of the original shot, which was just taken for fun this summer when it was possible to take outdoor shots without risking frostbite. The sky shot was taken a couple months later, actually, so it's strange to put together two pieces of work that really had nothing to do with each other. But it was a project I enjoyed, and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks again!

Rob: Thanks for taking the time to comment on "Natural-wood Framing." I'd like to take credit for the framing, but it's just where the little guy decided to land. Sometimes luck trumps skill! Gene

Thank you for the very calming comment on "Just ducking around" I do appreciate it alot. Hope to see you again. Sandi

Hello Rob. Thank you kindly for those comments you left at “Plummet”. The 10 is a nice bonus too :-)

Good morning.

Thanks for your comments/suggestions on "moon over the Grand Mesa". They are appreciated.
That was shot with a Olympus 5mp point and shoot. I do have the ability to make manual settings but I was in a hurry to get to a meeting. The flash was set on Automatic and I didn't notice it.

Steve

Thank you Rob for the comment on "one more cardinal" I will have fresh photos next week when I get my new Canon Digital Rebel XTi.

Thank you rob,my trip(exchange) was gorgeous!
Chris

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'You Have Been Mooned' very much appreciated.

Hey again Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'Storm Troopers' I really appreciate it. I would do anything to protect the Stump Warriors...even a Clone War.

Hi Rob, thanks for stopping by and commenting on "Long Live Cricket", much appreciated, Kelcey.

Thanks for comenting on Butterfly Duet, I posted a similar one in color called A No-No. Same butterflies and flowers, but I couldn't find the original to post as someone requested. ;0)

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the comments on 'A Lotta Bull' I really appreciate it.

Hey there, Rob. Thank you so much for taking a look at my "Beloved Skies" and leaving such a nice comment. I really appreciate it. Hope you have a good day! -Sarah

Thank you and most grateful for your comments to ~'For the Guys'~...Bob
