thank you Jeana. I loved your gallery of farm life. I can also see an EP coming on your self portrait in this months theme challenge. #8434453

Dale Hardin March 05, 2010

thanks so much Billy. I was impressed by all your macro work. I've never had much success with those. I'm sure it's all technique, but never have quite been able to get consistent results. Maybe some lessons from you would turn the tide. #8434461

Dale Hardin March 05, 2010

You're too kind Billy. By the way, I recall your casting shots very will. Enjoyed your gallery. #8434469

Beautiful light and dark background. #8550322

Aimee C. Eisaman April 20, 2010

Awesome work Dale...the light is fantastic and it looks like he/she is floating on a sea of glass. I love the contrast of the bird and the black water. The colors are also great...almost pastel. Creates a very soothing mood! :~) Congrats on your finalist! #8553324

Dale Hardin April 20, 2010

Thanks Aimee. #8554032

Congrats on your finalist Dale! #8564505

Dale Hardin April 23, 2010

Thanks Jeff. I really wanted to share the "glory" with the entire club because this is the version that you all helped me with. The original version only garnered an EP. #8564673
