Description

These two fishermen were returning home on a jetty that extends out into the Long Island Sound. I used a flood filter for this effect.

Je vous mercie boucoup, Dominique!! J'apprécie votre temps and votre compliment!! Salut!! #12406

Kerry Drager August 25, 2002

Hi Dolores: I'm not sure exactly what Dominique said, but I'm sure it was something like, "Fantastic photo!" I'd definitely agree with that ... terrific work! Kerry #12414

Dominique Declerck August 25, 2002

Je suis sûr que cette oeuvre photographique obtiendra un prix ... le premier!!
Merci pour votre français, Dolores.
Bonne chance!! #12418

Peder Mageroy August 25, 2002

Wonderful work Dolores, won't be long before this shows up elsewhere :-) #12420

Kathleen Clemons August 25, 2002

This is incredibly beautiful, Dolores! Beyond that, I love the way it looks like the fishermen are walking on water. Too cool. Could you explain what a flood filter does? That's a new one for me. :) #12426

Carol Sherman August 25, 2002

Words fail me Dolores, this is an exceptional piece of work BRAVO!!! Simply "Breathtaking".
I too am not familiar with info on flood filters, what kind was it? #12440

Damian P. Gadal August 25, 2002

Tous les éléments d'une photo fantastique et d'un gagnant! #12443

Randy A. Myers August 25, 2002

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but did you mean an FLD filter, and "flood filter" was a pun. This flourescent light to daylight filter can give some interesting effects. It doesn't matter what filter was used, you have a very nice photograph.

Dolores Neilson August 25, 2002

Carol...I am delighted and honored you think highly of my image. And "words fail me" at expressing my appreciation too!! Many thanks.

Dolores Neilson August 25, 2002

I wish we could correct these comments once posted!! Arrgghhh!

Kathleen, I am sorry. The comment after Peder is yours!!

Greetings Randy!! I included the link to the flood filter website in my reply to Kathleen (right after Peder's) It is a post processing filter for Photoshop! And many thanks for taking time to extend a complimentary note. I appreciate it very much! #12455

Carol Sherman August 25, 2002

Dolores, many thanks for your information and links. I do appreciate it very much, it was very kind of you.

Would like to add once more just how 'spectacular' it was!!!
#12458

Randy A. Myers August 25, 2002

Thanks Dolores. I had no idea something like that existed. You sure made good use of it. #12459

Damian P. Gadal August 25, 2002

Dolores, I think you have a winner here, and good luck in the printphoto contest. I really enjoy your work!

Kathleen Clemons August 26, 2002

Thanks for the info, Dolores. I still think of a filter as something that screws onto a lens. LOL I have lots to learn! :) #12476

Dolores Neilson August 26, 2002

Thanks again Carol and Randy! I did not know a flood filter existed either until 4 months ago...when I saw a winning shot redone with it and reentered as another!! The image was actually quite nice without it but the filter added a more dramatic element. The intention was to make them appear they were walking on water!

Damian, thank you for acknowledging my work at print photo! You really are an asset to the photo community. I think you are delightful! Thanks for always extending kindness on my work!

You're welcome, Kathleen...yes, filters have come a long way, haven't they? I've been having fun with them lately...applied thoughtfully and with a purpose, they can bring your image to a whole new level. I hate that they are overused though by some photographers. It is apparent with some images, that the filters don't really add anything but they're used anyway! #12478

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic August 26, 2002

Incredibly beautiful, sister!! Love it a lot.. #12510

Dolores Neilson August 26, 2002

Greetings, sister friend!! Thank you so much! The end of the month is fast approaching...I get so excited around judging time. You know...which pics will be chosen...and all that stuff. Did I tell you my camera is at the Canon factory for repair? I'm miserable... I'm in my archives editing stuff! My camera shoots in RAW mode (wonderful!)so I save all my raw files as digital "negatives"...I don't always edit after a shoot...I procrastinate to the end. I better start some editing or I'll run out of pics to submit. Cheers, Carolyn!! Thanks for your delightful comment once again!! #12512

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic August 26, 2002

Well, pooh, I was hoping you'd run out and give the rest of us a break!! Not too likely, huh? #12516

Marija Milovanovic Maksimovic August 26, 2002

Dolores, whatever you did with that photo it became great!
And you see - Votre français est exellent! #12524

Dolores Neilson August 26, 2002

Carolyn...you've got lots of breaks! You need to give me one!

Greetings Marija!! Thank you so much for allowing me to be the recipient of another kind compliment from you!! You know I appreciate it! Ah yes...my French...I write it terribly!! When I was young, French was my primary language and it's all we spoke in our home...but we moved before I learned how to write it! I know there's tons of grammatical errors in my French writing! But I hope people understand and don't dwell too much on the mistakes! Merci boucoup, ma cher! #12527
