wow! very colorful and I really like the composite! -
I haven't looked into your gallery for a while - and you have some "new" images that you have created that are great!! #242343

Norman P. Banks April 28, 2005

Thanks very much Kathryn! I appreciate you taking the time to check out the gallery. I'm taking more time to work on images now, so I'm not running pics up as frequently. I do however, check on you, Jane and Steve regularly! (big smile)

Hi Norm :-)...Good morning..I'm off for the weekend and couldn't leave without checking you out! ha! I liked the photo of you before..but now I like it even better! I took the birds eye view of this and I see many things in this image..not just you and pretty bird amongst nature! I like the water off to the right side and do I see a bicyclist in the lower left hand corner? You've mastered above beyonds in your past 2 entries! The colors are wonderful in this and the detail is phenomenal!
Have a great weekend! #1303035

Thanks again Jane, for taking time to check me out before you took off!

You were right the last time about the sink in the Candle pic, but in this one, I think it's the way the leaves part and you see some of the base layer that looks like a bike wheel, but isnt!

It's interesting that you picked up on the water as I kinda threw that in to test a new plugin that I got. (grin) Is your monitor a CRT or LCD flatscreen? The reason I ask, is because when you saw the sink in the candle pic, I didnt on my 19" CRT, but did on my laptop which is an LCD flat screen! (Hmm... things that make ya go Hmm...)

Have a good time this weekend and grab some more of your insightful shots!

This is fantastic, Norm! I'm always a sucker for bright color, so this appeals to me right off the bat, but you're getting so good at choosing just the right images, and the blending is supurb. Keep it up, pal!!!
I'm having weather related problems with my connection so my cyber-life may be a bit sporatic for a while :-) Hope to get a note off to you soon. #1304732

Goshka G. April 29, 2005

Very well done, Norman! Love those bright colors! #1304862

Detrick V. Martin April 29, 2005

Very creative, I love the colors. Well done! #1305316

Thanks Steve, Goshka and Detrick for stopping by and commenting on the image!

Steve, now you'll have some time to read Capelli's book! (big smile)

Goshka and Detrick, though I sometimes like to try a muted approach, bright color always seems to always win out!

Again, thanks for the nice comments guys!
