Hello my friend. You certainly have been busy while I was away adding some beautiful pictures to your gallery. I love the bird fountain, that hint of pastel is so gorgeous, the man praying is a Grand Prize Winning work Mary. Stunning. Love the presentation yo have here with these gorgeous colorful flowers and the way you present them as a group of pictures. Love the framing. Lovely look, amazing work my friend. #11282775

Jeff and Gail, thanks for commenting.
And, Frank, I think everyone (including me) should take his/her cue from you, on how to comment on several photos in one discussion thread. A small phrase, such as "love the bird fountain" or "hint of pastel" lets a person know you actually looked at the photo/image, and that should be enough praise for anyone's ego.
I know I'm one of the worst offenders at keeping things short, so it's going to take awhile for me to learn how to comment in under 100 words! Thanks so much for the great idea, Frank. And, again ~ welcome back! #11282814

Thanks, Pom and Ellen! #11284507

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer April 13, 2015

And what a cool effect this is, Mary. I love it! It seems like the effect is done without disturbing the image. WOW! #11284520

Mary K. Robison April 13, 2015

Thanks, Kiki. When l compare the "before" photo to the one with the "stacked" effect, there really isn't any noticeable difference. I think the white frames fool the eyes into thinking things are distorted - good old optical illusion! If you have access to a Photoshop Elements program, let me know. I can guide you through the simple way to use the effect. Great fun to play with! #11284627
