Hey Brett, when I was 18, I had no camera! I bought my first reflex Canon at 21 years old, after having saved my wages of student... Thanks for your kind words!

Thanks for your kind comment on my wombat image. Even though this image has a low c-index, I really have a soft spot for this little fellow - we saw him at a zoo in Queensland, and although he had a huge area to move around in, etc, he still still seemed a little melancholy. He wandered towards us and we just stood there for a bit I and got this shot. They are quite big, about the size of a small dog (- ie corgi?) but they are about 10 times heavier. Cute, but not particularly cuddly! Thanks again, I'm glad you like him too!
Thank you for your kind comments on Peaceful. When someone like me is just starting out, feedback is extremely important. Sometimes, here, that is lacking. Thanks again.
thanks for the comment on showing its beauty. Ha i am doining the wild flower project know in the 10th grade. i also love this photo. i have 2 pics loaded of a bachelor button to. if you happened to have that as on of the flowers on your project
Thank you so much for taking the time to look and comment on In The North Country. Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated and help me tremendously. Thanks again.
Thanks Brett for taking the time to comment and especially to offer suggestions. That's a very important thing for anybody involved in this site. But you know me and 100% reality--it just ain't going to happen. Thanks again for the comment and the suggestion. I wish more did that.
Brett, your comment about the smiling face on Sacrifice intrigued me so much that I got rid of that top shroom (quite a sacrifice for a hardcore fungiholic...hehe) and replaced it with some genie-type eyebrows. Let me know if you'd like to see the results and I'll email it to you. :)
Brett, thank you so much for your nice comment on A New Beginning. I appreciate you taking the time to look. I agree with you about terragen's annoying little errors. Sometimes I just want to scream, pull my hair out and delete the whole program. Thanks again.
Thanks Brett for commenting on Doofus. From now on all of these types of images will be going through some new software that takes care of all that bad stuff. Please check out Nocturnal as an example.
Tks Brett for taking the time to view my pic. White Wilds was taken on a gloomy day and I don't think I got many shots of those flowers to choose from. I have been struggling with the clairity vs soft look as well as macro shots with the blurred backgrounds and have yet to find the perfect medium for some shots.

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
Hi Brett - Petals for Mimi was actually a "macro" on an 3D scene in Moray... so it does have some depth.
Thanks for your comment, and for taking the time to look more closely....And pink is good!

Thanks rustectrum03 for the input I will give it a thought.Your input is always welcome alng with you opinions.
Thanks for the comment of forest pathway. I actually know my camera very well, there isnt much to know. I have a 1.3 MP digital camera with no adjustable settings other than macro/landscape and white balance...
Either way, the original image was much sharper, I added (intentional) blurs and ghosting to enhance the overall mood of the image.
Thanks Brett for your comment on Going Loopy.. glad you liked it... also thank for your comments on the pixels... i usually do run a despeckle over my pics.. i must have missed this one... :) thanks for that I appreciate feedback like this... as for the colour.. i just wanted to do something different.. :)
Thanks for your comment on "Vatican at Night". It's always difficult to make decisions on what to Photoshop out of images.....I seem to get views from both sides from people....
Thanks for the visit at 'something in black and white' I don't usually use B/W because i feel that these people lived their lives in color. But there was something about the clapboard siding and tree shadows in that one. I had both cameras loaded and took the same shot in color and it didn't work as well.
Hi Brett, thanks for the comments on "Trace of light" - I know exactly what you're saying, and I even tried flipping it - I decided not to in the end, probably because I know which way up the pic was taken! I still appreciate your opinion though, cheers for that.
Thank you Brett for you comments on "Wicker Weed Wacker Wheel". Concerning your suggestions about gradients: I don't currently have a graphics/paint program installed. Everything I have submitted has been straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. Except for PoTAYto-PoTAHto which was recently killed by the powers-that-be.
Hello Brett, tks for your comments on Deep Blue, I never noticed that before with the difference on the top and bottom.
I will play some more, lol.

Hi Brett :) Thanks for your comments and suggestions on Caedes Carnage! I really appreciate you taking the time and am so glad to know you enjoyed it :) Thanks again!
thanks Brett for your input on Leaf Litter 3. i'd agree with you that dead plants arent the most dynamic subject matter but all 3 shots were intended as more of a texture for the desktop rather than a specific subject matter. I think a lot of people missed the point on that one but thats just the way it goes. I will try that effect on something else soon - just got to pick the right crowd pleaser :-)
