  Thanks, Suzie and Carolyn. There is a down side to all the beautifil oaks. With the oak pollen at record levels I had a sore throat and swollen eyes by the end of the day. Thank goodness for Zyrtec.

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MURRY! Looks like I am a little late on this one, had to page down forever before I reached the bottom! GREAT SHOT! In remembering your fall shots, this would be a great shot with fall colors, wouldn't it?

  An exceptional photo, Murry! The processed one is a work of art, but I'm afraid my preference is for the original shot on this one. Sorry I'm so far behind and missed your BDay :-( Sure hope it was a happy one. Shooting photos like this is like making your own birthday present!

Murry Grigsby
  Thanks, Suzie, Judy and Gary. Gary, I appreciate your honest opinion! It's always nice to hear kind words but I really like to know what people actually think. My friends here locally are never bashful when it comes to critiquing my work. It probably doesn't make sense to buy a camera capable of such clarity and then make a painting out of the photo:0) But I'm not a purist and really like to use the digital dark room for certain effects and to save beat up slides.

  Congratulations Murry! By the way what Photoshop filter are you using? I have tried a few and have yet to get such good results.

Nice work and congrats on all of your finalists.

  Thanks, Scott. It is the Simplifier filter from www.fo2pix.com or as everyone calls it Buzz.
