I do love these misty images of this boathouse...all golden and gorgeous.
This one shows nice colour in the paddle boats, very nice and certainly a classic landscape shot.
cheers, B

Yeah OK...now I feel like a tool!
I begged and you delivered, but I missed it!!!
I am ready for my punishment now.....
AND dragging you out of bed when you are near death...unforgivable!!!
My most humble apologies. I am evil!
This is a cool image, love the voyeuristic perspective of you looking at them, looking at everything! What a great view too....WOW
cheers and get back into bed RIGHT NOW!!!!

Very nice Rog. Gawd, that sounds bland doesn't it? Sorry, not meant to.
I would like this in B+W with some levels tweaks. See below.
I like the way they are ambling down the road, looks like it would be quite a hike to get back up.

Stunning Bernard....a very intense image. She seems to be asking a very subtle question with her expression and pose.
Fabulous eye contact with the camera.
Perfectly composed and brilliant in B+W, the tones are beautiful.
A fave for me.

Hiya Dave! Very impressive...Christine eat your heart out!
The coloured flash painting gives a great effect as if there was hot pink neon lighting behind you. Very tricky and devious of you 
Also love the perspective and collection of 'junk' in the background, the bike, old refrigerator etc. Perfect!
Love it.
cheers, Beks

Wonderful Mary! I love this so much, brings all sorts of thoughts to my head.
The childs pose, upturned eyes and puckered lips, along with the clown makeup and fabulous light, make this a very special portrait.
A fave for me.

Eldira, what I really like about this is that even though there is so much motion going on, her face is still very clear, so we can see the gorgeous smile. She looks delighted to be jumping around with the umberella.
Again, great colour and another fabulous idea. Perfect for the project.
cheers, Beks

Simply gorgeous Sascha!
His serious expression, and the direct contact of his eyes with the camera make this a very intense portrait.
Perhaps a tad hot on the left side, but the skin tones are great. Love the crop and simple framing too.
Great work.

Definately Errol Flynn James. This would be great in the Big and Small project.
My first look at the thumbnail gave me the impression that these were actually people (silly me)LOL.
I like that you have presented this in B+W, it works well this way.

Wow Roby, this looks nearly 3D!
That moon is amazing, looks as if you could just reach out and touch it.
The black sillhouette of the mountain over the 'white' snow covered mountain gives a fantastic layered effect....very, very cool!

Hey there Jan, nice to see you out and about here again!
I am not a fan of this, sorry
I think the model is lovely, but she looks ill...LOL
Her skin tones are all grey and lifeless, she looks dull, perhaps as Paul said, could be a contrast issue.
This kind of makes me think of when you play around with the shadows/highlights function in Photoshop and the mid-tones go awry.
So this process for this portrait (and perhaps other portraits) gets a thumbs down from me.
cheers, Beks

Hey there Michele, I have been so busy lately I feel just awful, no time to comment and reply, but I found a few minutes this morning to jump on UF to see what is about and I saw this!
The reflections of the sunset in the water as it laps onto the sand are gorgeous, and I like the inclusion of the people and birds, nearly sillhouettes.
also, a lovely straight horizon!
Great stuff...............B

That's what Doug says about my head, having been told it's vacant also, but hears things moving occasionally!
That really is sad then, none of the comforts of home, just a roof over your head, were you a bit spooked after when you found out? It woulda' scared the bejeepers out of me!
Ask Diablo if you talk in your sleep too, and if he has to jump in the middle you have to clean his doggy drool off the pillows!

There were three in the bed, and my husband said "Why does Dave always get to sleep in the middle?!!!" LOLOLOL
Do you snore?
The sad café does look pretty sad, very dilapidated, but with a funky edge thanks to all that coloured gel, does it glow in the dark? hehehe

Oh Dave...if only my suggestion for a project with song titles/lyrics went thru!!!!
This is a winner either way for me as I am a HUGE Eagles fan. Grew up listening to all of their songs (thanks to Mum and Dad), now go find me Seven Bridges and a Sad Café, with a little Tequila Sunrise thrown in for good measure and I will have a Peaceful, Easy Feeling!!!!

P.S. Great work as always, your night shots are unrivaled anywhere!

Hi Nessa, it is terrible to hear that April, who has much to overcome already is being shunned and taunted by her peers and older children. A twelve year old!! Amazing, I am gob smacked to read that some parents are still bringing their children up with so little tolerance and understanding to those among the community that have disabilities. It is very frustrating as a parent to know this.
I realize that you posted this a few months ago, but here is a link on assistance dogs, particularly hearing dogs, that may be of some use to you.
Hugs for April, and my best wishes that she holds her head high to the few people that will miss out on what she has to offer the world in her silence.

cheers on such a wonderful and emotional portrait, B

First and most importantly, so sorry to hear that Tyler's stay at home has been cut short, all my strongest wishes that they can build him up again at hospital and that things turn around for him soon. Huge HUG going his way xxxx
Now, the image, love it! Great title and the thumb was so eye catching and intriguing. Very nice work indeed, it has great depth.
Hugs to you also, B xxxx

Fabulous image txules, there is so much detail in this, from the iron work outside, the window frame, textured wall, books and the title inspiring poster...wonderful!
The expression on the ladie's face asks many questions, and his upturned palm adds to this also.
A favourite for me.
