Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019

This one is a classic beauty, Dolores. :) Is this you? It's about time for a self portrait, don't you think? :) #59823

Mette Vendelboe Allison level-classic May 26, 2019

I thought the same as Kathleen. Is it you?

A very good job again. Your lighting and composition are great. #59830

May 26, 2019

Just lovely Dolores! #59935

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Greetings Kathleen!! Thank you so much! Nope...it's not me (sorry), but my oldest daughter. I do have a self portrait but I don't like it...(I hate pictures of myself!). I have it posted at a couple sites but I think it 's dorky. I appreciate your post immensely, Kathleen! Stay warm....here it seems the cold air will never go away!

Hi Mette!! Naw..it isn't me...I'm just too critical when it comes time to pictures of myself. She's my eldest...and we had a great time shooting. Thank you, Mette for complimenting my lighting (we were outside) and composition. It means alot that you think highly of my image. Have a great day! #59939

Paul Slate May 26, 2019

Bernard B. Travers May 26, 2019

That's the right title DN. That's what this image is all about. Wowwy, lady. That G1 is cool, ain't it? I just picked up a G2 at a bargain price and I'm headed for the Oregon Coast again, this weekend. I hope to come back with a few trophies. AGAIN, EXCELLENT WORK - you shooter you. #60190

May 26, 2019

Dolores, I agree this is an excellent shot! Great play of colors and very vivid. Looking throught the entries, this one really caught my eye. #60341

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Thank YOU, Paul!! What a wonderful thing to say... you are too kind! A heartfelt thank you for your high praise..it means the world to me! Taking time to grace my image with such a complimentary post is a treasure! THAnk you so much!!

Greetings BT!! Thank you so much, my friend! Yes, the G1 is cool...though it's been upgraded twice now! A G-2 eh?? Excellent choice! What WERE you shooting with BT?? Is this your first digital?? I have no doubt you'll come back with a few trophies...you shooter you! (Thanks again!) Have fun on the Oregon Coast!

Greetings to you, Wendy! Thank you so much for taking valuable time for a complimentary post on this image. I'm rather fond of it myself..it's my daughter. We had such fun doing it! Many thanks and have a great day!

Bernard B. Travers May 26, 2019

I've been using a Fujifilm 2400 Z digital. Its OK, but not enough functionality for me right now. Boy, you sure make that G1 sing though. Seeya later DN. #60578

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Thank you, BT. I think you'll do great with the G2. (my best feature is the flip out LCD) I'm ready for the Cadillac of cameras (IMHO)...the Canon EOS 1Ds (11 mps)....the body alone sells for $7000 and I still have to purchase an arsenal of lenses. Guess I will have to wait! #60592

Jean-Francois Schmutz May 26, 2019
