Wonderful photo, Terry! It's hard to imagine these being so tiny in real life. I love your subject, the composition, lighting, detail, colors and DOF! What do you think of the Lowel Ego studio light?

Terry L. Ellis December 18, 2005

Thank you so much, Cathy! Your comment really means a lot to me right now. If I knew what I was doing, I would love it! LOL! Seriously, it's pretty great for the money. I also bought the little kit that has different colored background papers and a stand, so you can set-up a little studio. It's so easy to move the light, or use the reflector that's included. Really a lot for the money. #2198077

Steve Mescha December 23, 2005

Great shoes, Terry! I think KK just wants to get you on the trampoline so you'll break your neck and she can steal the shoes :-) #2218671

Terry, an elf whispered in my ear that "someone" (see above) said that I wanted you to break your neck on your tiny trampoline as you jumped in these teeny stilettos! Gee, it is Christmas time. I can wait! ;-P
Merry Christmas, Missy P!!!
