Description

Congrats to all of the finalists and winners this month.
My time on BP will be sporadic but I will keep up with your images as much as I can this week.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
:-)
Oh - BTW, this is the result of my playing around with the first image I took with my new camera....let me know what you think. Does it work or are the effects too grainy?

anonymous A. March 04, 2006 0

I liked the original, but I think this actually looks MORE natural. The "grain" doesn't bother me in the least, although it might not be so attractive in a print.
So, like all your other admirers, I think this works very well. #2494503
