Thanks, Jimmy, June, Shirley, Suzie and Patricia. The use of the simplifier filter (www.fo2pix.com) really makes the lady standout from the rest of the photograph. The is an incredibly beautiful setting in West Virginia and it can be crowded and you can still get clear photos of the mill. Since it was raining this morning this lady and I had the site to ourselves.

Thank you for the understanding, Murry. I've been kicking around a similar idea for two weeks now and not finding the subject matter for best effect. Still working on it but didnt' want you to feel I was plagiarizing your ideas. I can't tell you how many times I've posted a shot and someone posted to tell me they had the same idea!! Great minds (I'd like to think I have one of them) think alike, eh? I didn't have the idea for a woman in an umbrella though and I think this is definitely a winner!! THe background lighting on your shot is awesome!! I was inspired by a man named Brian Goldie. His buildings from Venice have a simplified appearance similar to yours...but he paints them by "hand' with color. If you can find his work, I think you would see a similarity. He doesn't use an artistic filter though...he uses Photoshop..so I've got some figuring out to do! My idea is to piggyback on his idea but add a human element...just like you just did!

Jimmy, that is funny you say the peoples choice award because I have been bugging them at BP for a couple of months now that they should have a peoples choice award.

I too had suggested a Peoples Award to Jim. It may just be too much work for him and his staff especially now that there are catagories? But it would be fun to see how a PA would compare to the BP selections each month.

P.S. In here, Australia, We have a most importent aword for the portrat paintings every year called Archboard, There are two winners, one selected by those professors & the another one is People's choice.

This year, People's choise aworded to a Chinese painter who migrated to Australia for only 8 months but He spended more then 3 months for this winning portrait-He not even esttled His family here properly.

What a wonderful image Murry, apart from the beautiful setting the colours are just stunning and I love what you have done to the background, it really lets the woman standout, great work.

Murry, It's been a while since I've been able to get onto BP.com to see what folks are doing. This image is really outstanding! You have created a 3-D effect and also created an image that holds the viewer's attention. Keep up the great work!!! God Bless, Greg

Beautiful shot Murry - when were you in my neck of the woods? This is just a couple hours south of me. I don't know how I managed to miss this one when you posted it but I'm glad I got a copy in the new newsletter. Congrats!

Thanks, Gary. The original of this was shot on Kodacolor back in 1996 if I remember correctly. Pat and I really enjoyed our time in WV. At the time I was disappointed that it was rainy when we got to the mill but after seeing the photo I was very pleased :0)

Hi there, I just posted my first pic today and, because I was seeing your comments on my friend's susana matos pic, I went to see your own pics. and this one, though taken some years ago now, for what I read, stroke me as so beautiful, tat I couldn's stop myself from sending you a "Hi there, this picture of yours is REALLY astonishing!".

I think the rainy day really adds to the shot, and I love how you finished it in Photoshop. I notice that the mill race wasn't running - I haven't been able to catch it running yet either, despite living so close. With all the rain we've been having I'm sure it's been in service a lot lately, but of course the best time to photograph it is during the fall when you were there.

Yes I think you have to decide between spring water or autumn colors. I've seen shots of this mill in all seasons and I think the best is fall and I like winter next best with all the snow. We hope to get back for another visit some day.

Murry, your photo reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade painting with a twist. Excellent contrast.

Hi Murry, the weather today (wet) has me looking at rain shots and found this one.. what a truly great picture!! So beautiful, I just love the colours and composition. Looks like a great place to visit -- did you pay that tourist to wear a bright red raincoat? :o) Regards, Susie

Jeez, Murry! I gotta get in line! Anyway, I've seen more growth and change in your work than...what....than more growth and change in almost anybody else's. Oh, poor sentence construction at its most egregious. You've done really well, Murry and you are a loyal friend. This is a beautiful photo. It gives me almost a sense that the woman is photographing a diorama or museum display, that she's not in the rain at all...does that make sense? Art
