Hi Jonathon. Since I can't seem to get a response to my direct e-mails to you anymore, thought I would try this route. My agent, Michael Woodward, says he had tried to e-mail you a couple of times, but no response, so I tried e-mailing you to say those might have ended up in your 'junk' or 'delete' files, since it was an unfamiliar person, but no replies to my e-mails to you, either.

It would be nice to have some closure regarding this...to know if you are still interested in arranging to use my photoart. You were so sweet and patient with me before while I was trying to figure things out.:) You have my e-mail, or can reach me through here.

Dear Luis, I might also add, though, that it was the same size small print that was accepted and won a gold medal in the Austrian Super Circuit.:) Apparently, size was not a problem for them.

Shirley D. Cross-Taylor Shirley D. Cross-Taylor   {K:174022} 9/17/2006
Dear Luis, thank you for fighting for my image.:) I did not know how much it would cost me to send my prints to Buenos Aires, since it had been VERY expensive to send them to Europe, so I sent small.
Talk to me privately, dear....if you can.

Hi Shirley,

All I can saw is wow - elegant creation. This is one of those occasions where a centered composition works perfectly. The subtle paint-like colors offer a perfect contrast against the bright white tones. Excellent work and congrats on the awards.

Very nice image, Shirley!

Congrats on the POD, and the award from Oz! Well deserved.

For me, the reflection doesn't do too much for me. I'm not a fan of 2D reflections.. so that's just me. :) I think this image (as amazing as it is) could stand very well alone with a very strong style without the reflection.

very nice composite work, and wonderful balance of colors, contrasts, and midtones.

well done!

cheers,
-joel
