Donna, thank you! I had a chance to look at your gallery and your images are amazing. You have a great artistic talent! #4938457Ellen Powell October 17, 2007
Hey Susan, I was reading the thread about the scam artists at Picture.com, saw your comment, and came over to stroll through your photo garden. I love what I see here! This one is wonderful- and I like how you used lighting effects on it. Really makes the whole image (in my humble opinion). #4939213Ronald F. Fischer October 17, 2007
Stunning lighting on this awesome and beautiful capture!! #4939407Susan M. Smith October 17, 2007
Ellen and Ronald, thanks for the compliment and thanks for giving me the opportunity to see your galleries. Ellen, I laughed at your backyard comment, but was a nice backyard. Your gallery shows it. Ronald, your water shots are great, as are many others. You may have inspired me to try that again myself! #4939870Michelle L. Frick October 18, 2007

The lighting and softness in this image are just sensational, Susan! I hope you resubmit this one; it definitely deserves to go farther, imho. :) #5526964Susan M. Smith February 21, 2008
