Hi Neal: Thank you for your comment regarding my "New Crop of Ghosts." As you can see, I am having some problems getting things correct in my gallery. The filter that I used was called "Redfield." Merna #9722089

Merna L. Nobile October 07, 2011

Hi Michelle: Thank you for the kind comment about my ghosts, and I am very sorry about the mistake. The filter is from "Redfield." Merna #9722093

Hello Gregory: This was a fun project. I thank you for your comment. Also, the filter should have been spelled "Redfield." Merna #9722154

Merna, I REALLY like this one. Very creative and a nice opportunity taken. Just happening to pass by and recognizing a great photo opportunity.

It's also great to be reassured that there are many who really do enjoy and appreciate the artistic possibilities of photography. I'm running into a number of people who look down their noses at what they consider fake pictures. You know the kind, if it's not just as it came out of the camera it's fake and thus to be avoided. I wonder if they feel that way when they look into the mirror every morning before deciding to "fix" what the night has done to their aspect. :-)
