Joel. I want to thank you for your support and for your praises for "Falling Away" It realy is appreciated.

Hi Joel. Glad you liked "Apple Harvest".

Joel - thanks for your post on 'View from the Eiffel Tower #2' - much appreciated. As for wanting to go to Stonehenge - you should definitely go there - I'm going to dig out and scan a photo from when we were over there last year..

Hey Joel: I'm so glad you liked “Natures' Masterpiece” and thanks for your comments. They really are appreciated. That is the beauty of soft focus; it helps it to achieve a dreamy ambiance.

Thank you for such gracious comments on "Winter Wonderland". I’m always honored to have your comments on my Images and to be in your Favorites Gallery. Thanks.

Thanks again Joel: Your comments on "Fish Bait" are really appreciated. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for the welcome Joel! I will post another pic of black and yellow argiope today i think. its more of a whole body shot like you requested. Thanks for the comments : )

lol haha nice rhyme :P thanks for commenting on "mystic" and thanks for that little tidbit about the zodiac signs. that was intreiging.....dam thats a hard word to spell lol.

thanks joel for the comment and high vote on "a certain reaction".. greatly appreciated

Hey Joel, thanks for commenting on "summit" - a panorama of my hometown! I really appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you liked it... :-)

Thanks for the positive feedback on "Island Shore", It's hard to take a bad shot there.......
John

You're quite the photographer. Nice job on those photos!! Love your occupation!! :-D See ya around :-)

Joel - thanks for your words on 'Devil's Peak' - I'm glad your friend enjoyed his/her stay down here - cheers!

Hi Joel: Thanks for your comments on "Mr. Redwing Waits. I love photographing animals and birds that have a large circle of fear (they run or fly before you get within, up close and personal, photography range). Getting close enough is always magical. I think they probably are the same bird as the Redwinged Blackbird winters in your neck of the woods, so to speak.

Hey Joel, thanks for the comment on "Purples 'n Greens" - glad you like it! Yeah, I thought it looked like a weird soft kind of thistle as well.. Guess we'll never know..

thanks for the link to your pano's they're great they only take like 10 minutes to download tho:P

Wow a double 10. Thanks for such kind words on "Deep in a forest of Light" & "Over the Edge". You are most welcome on photos that speak of the great Northwest. But I find the images that I have from the Phoenix area have a quiet beauty all their own. I guess it's new to me and the only time of year I've been there is late winter and early spring. I'll have to post more from there. Thanks again I'm honored.

Thank you for your words about My Way. They are what motivates me to keep contributing to Caedes. What you said is specially meaningful since it comes from the master of sunsets.

Thanks for your thoughts on "Shadows". I agree with you, the clouds were over-exposed, but I had another person tell me that the ground wasn't bright enough. It was a compromise for both, so the sky didn't blind the veiwer, and the ground was recognizable. I like the blue too. Thanks again.

Thank you for your comments. :)

Thank you for the nice comment on -Lechtal Tyrol-.Very much appreciated,Joel.

Gee Joel, that was a nice comment you left at "Life Bee In It" Thank you.

thanks a lot joel for the comment on "heavenly descent".. glad you like my work ;]

I agree completely that the blurrs are distracting my image "Cancun" but no I dont have photoshop and it was harder to delete the people.. Thanks for the suggestion and comment though.

Hi Joel! Thanks for the great comment on "Hidden Falls":-)

Joel, thanks a bunch for the kind words on "Big Mountains, Big Skies". It is nice to know that you think it should have a higher c-index than it currently has. Also, thanks for the 10/10! I am honored to have one of my photos in your favorites.

Thanks Joel for the nice comment on -waterfall Hornbach-.I am glad you like it.

Hi Joel and thanks for your comments on "Seaside".Nope there was no frog in there but i can see what you mean now.

Hello Joel. Thanks for your comment on A New Day Has Come. It was taken at Putrajaya, Malaysia.

Joel. Thanks for your kind comments on "Fairy Falls 2", they really are appreciated.

Many thanks Joel

Steb

Joel, thanks very much for the comment on "Athens Sunset". I am very glad that you like it!

Hello Joel. Thanks for your coments about "Sumersby Falls Lower level" They are half way between Sydney and Newcastle in NSW.

Thx for the comment on Yellow & Green .... I think its one of my best macro's

Thanks for the comment on "Monhegan Surf 1". I did try some shots with slower shutter as you suggest, but didn't like the results. Unlike waterfalls where most of the water is flowing more or less together, the flow patterns of water in breaking waves seems to be much more chaotic. When I went to the slower shutter, it just made the waves into big white blobs. Maybe if I got the speed "just right", I could get the effect you suggest, but on this trip I didn't. But hey, that's a reason to go back!

Hey Joel, thanks for the comments on "So Tired". He's no longer a crazy puppy, hes a crazy dog.

Thanks for taking time to comment on Island Sunset. I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for all the nice comments on "October".Glad you liked it.I was hoping for some flat water but like you said the wind added a little something..

Thnx Joel I really appreciate your kind words on Just Butterfly 2. This is only my second alteration.
Very much thank you. :)

Thank you for the comment on "Cedar Sunrise", Joel. Inspired by your sunset images;-)

Thanks Joel, for your comment on Evil Intent, i can see your point, i have been in your great state a few times, it's one of my favorite, Thanks again, Dwight.

Hey Joel, thanks for the comment on (Munich by Night). I have foud that taking many pictures of the same subject almost always pays off in the end. Glad you enjoyed the picture~

Thank you for commenting on "Ghostly Sky" You feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi Joel. I'm REALLY pleased you liked "Bedding Down".

Hello Joel. Glad you like "Picture Window to the Sky". I liked the way the clouds seem to go around the tree.

Hi Joel, thanks for the nice comment on "Shepherd's delight" - much appreciated.

Hey Joel, thanks for the comments on "Behold the Rock of Ages". I told Keith that I thought Menashtash would be a nice name to have. Can you imagine the ribbing a kid would take with a name like that?

Hey Joel, tks for the wonderful review on Christmas Rush #3. I am not sure if you had the opportunity to view the other two?
JuneBug

Joel - thanks for your post on '12 Apostles' - they call it that because along that ridge there are 12 peaks, corresponding to the Apostles.

Hello Joel, Thanks for your comments about “Alectown Landscape”. There’s something about a tree silhouette that strikes a cord for many people. I suspect it has something to do with our prehistoric roots :-)

Thanks again Joel for your kind words, this time on 'Hillside' - cheers!

Hey Joel, Thanks for clearin up the words on your picture for me =P. Im not too good with cursive hehe

Thank you Joel for the nice comments on "Forests edge".I appreciate the comments.

Thanks Joel for your kind comment and dreadful pun (yes, I'm a sucker for them too) on "Walk through history". Bude is actually on the north coast of Cornwall, in the south west of the UK. There's a 20 mile stretch of coastline from some way south of here up to Hartland Point in Devon which has some fascinating and extraordinary rock formations and colours. Thanks for your interest :-)

Joel you honor me with your comments on my images and I am eternally greatful. I'm glad you like "Falls' Last Hoorah". If you send me an mp3 file of music that you would like to have a screensaver made with and a list of the images you would like to have in it, I will put one together for you.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Thanks again Joel. I'm glad you liked "As Far as the Eye Can See". I think what you may think is a water spot is actually a building or part of the landscape, I can detect no water spot on the slide this image was made from. Thanks again Joel, your continued support of my images is greatly appreciated.

hej Joel, Thank you for commenting on my phot Sunset Feilds, I really appreciate your input.
also thanks for putting it in your favorits..... :-)

Hi, Joel. Thanks for you comments on Frosty Trail, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Now, i say thanks for my >>>House of Parlament<<< yap! I enjoy also night photography...:) It's good too share good stuff whit people who knows what they're doing:))
Thanks Joel

Thanks for the comments on rooftop. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some helpful tips. The image was actually taken in Hawaii.. really a rare sunset for the area. We don't get many colorful sunsets here, but I think the high clouds left from a recent storm helped to make this one really great. I have a lot of shots from it, maybe I will put some more up, with a bit of contrast :)
Vlad

Hey thanks for the compliments on "The Gathering", it was fun...and it does have poor quality lol. :D

I think you're crazy! :) 8000?? Oh mama!!

Hi Joel, and thanks for commenting on 'Out for a Walk.' The exotic landscape belongs - of all places - to the campus of Paradise Valley Community College. I was just out walking on Christmas Eve with my trusty camera (as always), and thought it might be an okay shot, if a bit hokey. Oddly enough, I'm never in the right place at the right time to get a shot of one of our amazing Arizona sunsets. Go figure!

Thank you Joel for the great comments on "Winter Shadows.I did some slight contrast and color adjustments.I tend to be heavy handed with those levers so i have learned to go very easy now.I only have the camera software so I am relativly safe there.You are right about the darkening of shadows but i didnt want to darken the trees on the left so i made a compromise there.I do appreciate your input.

Hey Joel! I relly apriciate that you make my >>>-35C<<< one of your fav. Thanks indeed!

Thanks Joel for viewing and posting a comment on my Rocky Mtn National Park photo. This is a medium format negative that I scanned into Photoshop and adjusted the contrast. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Russ

Hi Joel. Thanks alot for commenting on "Jiu Zai Gou." I really appreiciate it!

HeyJoel, you're pictures are beautiful, i could have commented on all of them but thought i wud just put a message on here instead. Thank u for putting them on here for us all to see.
God Bless

Joel, thanks very much for the comments on "Iced Tsuga"!

JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHERE THE F**** ARE YOUR IMAGES!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
HWO DID THIS????????????????????

yes, where did all your pics go. many of your sunsets were so awesome, did you delete them, or is there something going on here?

man that sucks, now comes the tedious process of reuploading the good ones at 1 or 2 pictures a day! at least i hope you reupload the good ones, they were some of the best i've seen

Hi Joel, thanks for your comments on Great Sand Dunes at Sunset. I actually went out to this spot to get a photo of the full moon rising, but there were clouds in that part of the sky...so this was my consolation! Glad you enjoyed it! Mike

thanks for the nice comment on "on cloud 9" joel. i'm looking forward to seeing more of your pictures here.

ashley

Thank you Joe; for the comments on "Exasperating...";they are very much appreciated. I'm glad you liked it.

Hello Joel, Many thanks for your comments about “MissTwiggy” There’s something about a silhouette that is hard to resist:-)

I've been out of touch with the world of Caedes for a while. Thanks for your recent comments on my images. I appreciate your support.
Russ

hi thanks for your comment on "water, water and more water" the pic was taken in norway...

Joel;
Thanks for the update about the fires. I used to work in Scottsdale and as I understand it they have lost some homes in the Cave Creek area.

Over looking the minarets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you forr the kind remarks. But I'm not responsible for the wonderful image I just captured it. It was just waiting to be recorded.

Thank for you comments on Moutnain's Toe Joel! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the warning Joel hehe. Nice to see your mark at "Life in Stride":-)

Thanks a lot Joel for the kind post and score on my Haweswater image - v.much appreciated

Hi Joel, I really want to thank you for your comments and show of support for “Together We Stand”. I live, basically, surrounded by farmland. To the East and South it is mostly dry land farming, with wheat the main commodity. To the West and North it’s mostly fruit and other crops dependent on irrigation. I have spent numerous hours and or days photographing the “Green Crops” and very little time in the dry land areas. I started to turn more attention to that area when I saw another image here on Caedes that was some form of grain. This is one of the photographs that resulted because of that image. I wish I could remember who did it; I would like to thank them personally.


The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling; “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
William Faulkner

Thanks Joel. Glad you like it.

Steb

thanks Joel for stopping by the end of the rainbow!

Joel, I just wanted to post and say I was truly impressed by your gallery! You have lots of quality stuff!!! Keep up the good work! :-)

Thank you for your comments about “Cocky Dragon” Joel. I sympathise with you about your auto focus and hope you can get it fixed sometime. I use manual focus for most of my macro and wildlife shots but I would get upset if the auto stopped working.

Great work you have here, Joel... thanks for sharing!

Thanks Joel for the kind comments on “Oak Creek Snows”. I really appreciate it.

Hey there Joel, did you take a trip to Israel?..

Wow Joel.. I'm glad you like our little country.. Have a look at my Israel photos and tell me what you think.. :) :)

I think you may have a point with my mountain flower shot. I think rising it up might lead to a better shot. One thing that i have since thought about that might have also made me more happy with it might be some flowers that stick out more, perhaps red or orange ones or something. I dunno. Thanks for your freedback.

Thanks for the comments on the HDR falls shot. I'm really interested to hear what you think about HDR and what you come up with. Are you just using Photoshop? I really find that the Photomatix plugin is a huge advance over what you can do in photoshop directly. Perhaps if you tweaked with the curves long enough in Photoshop, but you owe it to yourself to at least download the demo copy of the Photomatix plugin. Let me know how it goes. You've got some great shots already - especially the sunsets.

Hey Joel thx for the comment on many , glad you liked it.

Hey Joel,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mt.Rainier(done in HDR)' very much appreciated. I do plan to keep working on HDR images. This was my first, I find the process most interesting.

Hi! Thanks for the tip about the polarizer filter. Been thinking about getting one, but they cost quite a lot of money. Appreciate your comments a lot!

Joel, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to thank you for your kind comments on "September Yellow" but I do want you to know I appreciate them. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.
