Gerda Grice level-classic July 10, 2003

Wow!! The artwork is very colourful and pleasing and you've captured it with such amazing sharpness and clarity that I'd feel certain I was looking at the piece itself, rather than at a photograph of it, if it weren't for the kid walking by it on the sidewalk! Super shot! #139741

Gabriela Cunha July 11, 2003

Great work as always Dolores!! You continue to astound me with your jaw dropping images!! #139842

Ronald Balthazor July 11, 2003

Normally a subject in a red shirt would really stand out against such a subdued background. I can hardly find her in this image for some reason. ;)
Very well done. #139869

Hello Mark!! Thank you for dropping by and leaving a complimentary message! It means so much and I do so appreciate the time you've taken to do it!

HI Ron!! You're so funny! Subdued eh?? hah! ,?) I can hardly find her either!! I lucked out that she was wearing those bright colored clothes...I don't think other colors would have gone as well!!

Thank you Miss Carolyn!! I appreciate that you've stopped by to lift it up!! Happy day in OK.

Gary H. Minish level-classic July 27, 2003

An amazing mural and an exeptional photo of it! I love how the girl becomes just another part of the mural! If it wasn't for her feet on the sidewalk, she could have been painted in! Great timing and a great shot, Dolores :-) #151417

Dolores Neilson July 27, 2003

HI Gary!! Thank you so much for that!! I actually thought of getting her in the mural...but after careful circumspection...I didn't think I'd have a successful PS experience. I'm really not good enough at it yet. I'm thankful for all the praise!! Thank You!! #151421

Susana Matos August 05, 2003

congratulations on the Steve´s D. selection!
Yes this is absolutely magnificent, I guess I like to feel an imediate emotion with a photo when I look at it and this one didn´t got it from my heart, but as much as I look at it as much as I like it, and that´s a definition of quality!!!
Cheers, Susana #157850

Dolores Neilson August 05, 2003

Hi again, Susana! Thank you so much! For once again praising my work! I am flattered that you would give me so much time!

I feel the way you do about images...I love emotional impact. Sometimes though, images celebrate color...and the artistry of others...which is what this image was about for me. I can't imagine how many hours it must have taken this artist to paint this huge wall mural...and the successful blending of all these wonderful bright colors appealed to me so. As always, a pleasure to hear from you! #157870

Damian P. Gadal August 05, 2003

Yikes! Better than a strong cup of coffee! #157877

Susana Matos August 05, 2003

you are absolutely right! And maybe that´s why I finally come to like this si much. Susana
#157879

Dolores Neilson August 05, 2003

HI Damian! Thank you so much! I've never had a cup of coffee...but I'll take that as a compliment!

Hello again, Susana! Here is a work by an artist who's work I love...his name is Pete Turner.
