Re: PESO: Filter used and a question

When I hear "filter" I think of a piece of glass that screws onto the front of a lens... I gotta admit I boggled for second or so there Overall - it's a great gallery - I think I'm coming down with spring fever. The tulips (shots 6 - 15 or so) are my favorites. Mark On 4/23/2013 2:56 PM,

RE: PESO: Filter used and a question

I am not the purest on the list. Dave Brooks is. However, you correctly anticipate my reaction to your filtered "cartoon tulips". If Celine Dion were a photograph, that would be her. And really, that's an apt analogy, I think. Literally millions of people like her music. Me, not so much. But

Nice. Like the lighting, puts the focus on the people at the bottom and makes a nice contrast between the size of the people and the building. Like it quite a bit. Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 4/22/2013 7:09:51 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, rwomer1...@yahoo.com writes: >From a wind

Re: PESO: Blue Hyacinth

Very nice, would like it a lot, except would like the focus on the stamens in the main flower. The focus seems to be on the water drop and that seems a bit off to me. But lovely flower and composition. Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 4/23/2013 2:38:54 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, danm

Very nice, gentle portrait, frank. She looks really "into it." It's so strange not to see a bike with the person. In fact, I was wondering if someone was going to be playing a bike (don't know how) when I read your "favorite instrument." I like seeing something other than bikes (now and th
