Thanks Markus: They're a little different than traditional photography. I think Painter can be a lot of fun. I use the cloning tool (soft cloner) to extract the animal from it's background and then work on it from there with some painterly techniques. When it comes to photography my number one

Hi Vic I had the pleasure to have a look at your paintings and some other of your sides too. You present some very good photos here, my compliments. On the other side you have some really nice Pentax equipment which helps a lot ;-) greetings Markus >>-Original Message- >>From: Vic MacBo
