Hello Jim and wellcome to Caedes!
Thank you for your very kind comment on "Summertime..9"
I really appreciate it a lot!

Thank you for the comments on "Tired Metal" and "The Gulls".
That is so weird how people evaluate balance in photos. To me, in "The Gulls", the pic is now balanced, following (not to the letter) the rule of the golden line (not in center, a little offset). Somehow the composition I left it at is most pleasing to my eye.

But I do realize it propably is not for many others. Maybe it is my partially rebellious nature. We are told to leave the subejct in the center, or position it so that there are balancing factors. I try to veer away from those, however, without falling too far. Interesting words from you.
And so true, that should've been the caption. =)

Thank you for taking the time to view and comment on, "Little Green Froggy." It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the comment on "Watercolors"!

Thanks for taking the time to comment on "Still Closed..." we were actually aiming for an ugly-beautiful concept, with the pole representing the "ugly" & the quaint little fish market & town as the "beautiful"... I guess we should have conceptualized it better :) I really appreciate all your input & will put it to use.

Thank you, Jim, for taking the time to comment on "Grandpapas" and yes, I did take a few photos of the old boys - the characters in this country are Three A's: amazing, amusing, abundant.

Thanks a bunch for your comments on my photo 'Shaded', I appreciate it. :]

Thanks.Those raptors are very impressive up aloft..R.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on Clutter of Birds, much appreciated.

Thanks for your comments on the "done for the day". Staged it was indeed. There was really no other way to do a studio shot. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thanks for the input

Thanks Jim for taking the time to look at and comment on "Smiling Flying Dragon." Always appreciated!

Thanks for the comment on "Weather The Storm" I'll definitely play around with it some more and see if I can't unify it a little more! :)

Thanks for the comment on Lizzie visiting. You're right not a lot of contrast but then I didn't manipulate it in any way. This is the raw shot as it came off the camera. Thanks anyway - appreciate the input

Hello Jimmy and thanks for your positive feedback regarding 'Reach for the Gold.' It was particularly encouraging after I checked out your own work and saw that indeed you are an excellent artist. I'd say 'The Road Less Traveled,' 'Misty Creek,' and 'Misty Morning in October' are masterpieces.

Thanks, Jim, for the great comments on "Hobbit Hole." Much appreciated.

Hi Jim, Thanks for your opinionon my photo Original of Self :) I agree with you entirely. I like to take pictures that do not scream out it's topic, subject, idea... I adhere to the idea that if you don't have to think about how you feel towards a photo, painting or structure, its not art.

Happy New Year!!
