Cheeeeese for Melissa

Uploaded: March 15, 2009

Description

This is Melissa Olsen. We we went to Colorado last week, one of the coolest memories I've ever had was having Melissa come up and stay in the cabin right next to ours. We were sitting in front of the fire, sipping a glass of wine, talking about all the things that are just too hard to talk about via email -- when we noticed out our window that we had a visitor :) I don't know what her elk photo turned out like -- but I LOVE mine of him posing so nobly for her :)

Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 320, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 67.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

Here's another of the two of us. For all of you who know Melissa but have never had the pleasure of meeting her in person -- I can tell you she is JUST as awesome, if not more so than she is online :)

Great idea...I thought about inviting that elk in for dinner, he was practically inside my cabin anyway. ;-)

I've had the true pleasure to meet this wonderful woman in person, so I know what you're talking about. She is really awesome! I love your capture of her and the elk. Such a wonderful presentation, with the selective coloring. Excellent job! #7292510

Well, well I get to meet two of my supporters at the same time. A handsome pair you two are. The only place I know of elk looking in your windows has to be Estes Park, great shot. Well done Sandy #7296976

It is a beautiful image with wonderful composition. Nicely done.
Your Portrait is AWESOME too..what a two Beautiful ladies you are...it is great pleasure to finally meet both of you!...also it is really amazing when two strangers become Friends, because frienship is precious, is very important in life to find good people and bring to your life new positive energy.
