WOnderful colors. amazing shapes in this image.

I like the fact your can bring us into the city area to view your surrounding where I bring you into more a rural country area.

It a nice contrast. Kerby #272244

Incredible imagery, creativity and a fascinating series, Carolyn!! It has a "futuristic" feel to it and you've done a marvelous job with the effects! Very excellently done!!
Much Aloha,

Thank you so much for your nice comments, Kerby!! Yes, there is an interesting contrast between our landscapes and cityscapes, isn't there?! I think it makes for interesting viewing though!! Thanks again, and, keep up the great work with your photography!! :o) #1545821

Stan, thanks for looking and commenting on this image of mine!! I really like how it turned out, too!! ;o)

The original photograph, while interesting, seemed to just lack that little bit of oomph...and, I felt that the 'Holidays in Egypt' filter added exactly what was needed to overcome the problem!! ;o)

Thank you VERY much for the encouragement, Stan, and have a great weekend, won't you?!! :o) #1545827

Hi Carolyn,

I really like the final product here. Very Tomorrowland feeling, and just perfect execution of a plan. A lot of fun to look at, again and again.

Carolyn J. Connolly July 06, 2005

Hello there Rob!

Thanks for your kind comments on this image!! That 'Holidays in Egypt' filter definitely DOES give the image a kind of "Tomorrowland feeling", doesn't it?! I find it fun to look at again and again myself - LOL!! ;o)

Best regards...

Barbara - thank you VERY much for your kind comments about this image, and, my cityscape images in general!! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the series!! :o)

I think I'll probably carry it on again sometime in the near future, so 'stay tuned' (as you might say!) for some more coming up!! ;o)

I enjoyed your gallery, too, Barbara!! Keep up the great work, won't you...and, thanks again!! :o) #1561965

ooolala Carolyn! I can't get over the great filter use on this....amazing!! Very eye-catching and you have to love what the flag colors offer to it as well! Neat neat neat!! :0) #1562999

Carolyn J. Connolly July 07, 2005

Hi again Lori - thanks for your GREAT comments on this image!! I'm glad you like the effect this filter achieved here - I REALLY like how it turned out, too!! :o)

I agree with you - I think that the brightly coloured flags lining the sides of the bridge CERTAINLY add a little extra 'zing' to this image!! :o)

Thank you again for the encouragement, Lori - have a great day/evening, won't you?! :o) #1565864
