Thank you Colette. It's way out the box for me, but just wanted to try something different to get out of my rut. #10500931Michelle Alton January 06, 2013 0
You do GREAT out of the box. A most unique and appealing SP. A favorite for me. #10501730Dale Hardin January 06, 2013 0
Thank you Michelle. I'd really like to do some sports action such as your "Looking Down" and "flying" shots. Getting close enough and with enough light has kept me away. #10501904

Believe it or not, I was thinking of you when I did this. Had no idea what I was doing. I could see things in my head, but couldn't figure out how to accomplish it. So, I just dove in and gave it a go. #10519168

It's expressive and so is the title. They both evoke thought from the viewer.
I'd say there were no wrong turns there and it was a mission more accomplished than you give your self credit for. :) #10519271

Thanks Laura. After I get through with all the editing on my NZ pix, maybe I'll have another stab at it. Would you be willing to help me tweak the effort along the way? #10519938
