About I am still here at the beach watching this guy fly his kite-

I need to start carrying my kite with me too...It's a great sport around here as there is almost always a breeze .

I did saturate the sky a bit - I welcome all comments to make this a better image.....

Thank You for the comment of support and the 'tip' about the image being pixilated- that was an old 'point & shoot' camera - but still - I welcome your constructive comments very much !

Hi Michele -- yes, I noted that UF went glitchy for awhile last week. One of my photos wouldn't upload, so I just gave up and figured I'd go back and try again later. I saw that one of yours did the same thing -- and I tried to comment, but my comment wouldn't upload either. Everything seems back to normal now.

BTW, I love your recently posted photos -- they're really wonderful.

Nice effect -- I like it. It's a little grainy, but I think it's a cool image overall. Nicely done, Michele.

Thanks so much Michele. Its a beautiful sunset image. I love it. The rock still keeps me amazed. Its visible so big even so far away! The only thing I can compare here is found underwater. But not as big.
Regards, Ahmed

I agree it is fun to fly a kite and good exercise too...especially the bigger the kite, and to let it pull you in a vehicle is fun too :)) Yep, that Rock is hard to keep out of the image now that I am working right in front of it ...I am attaching an image 5mils away as you first enter town so you get a bette pespective ...I hope you like it my friend ...
Regards,
Michele

Oh, I know what you mean about trying to support your photography addiction. I'm on Social Security, and need to try to find a part-time job to supplement. My monitor is fading and has diagonal lines running through it. It's a wonder I'm able to do my photoart...lol. Here is the link to all the information about the UF Projects:

Hi Shirley ,

I'm back I also wanted to thank you for letting me know I should read the guidelines as well because I did not know I was supposed to have a poem for Poetry in Pictures, and most likely other things I should learn too...
Thank You for the info !

Michele Carlsen Michele Carlsen   {K:146013} 7/26/2007
Thank YOU Shirley both for the kind comment , and also for the information....on NeatImage software...No I have no memory left on my pc for any software..I am saving & working 2 jobs to support my photography addiction now -Lol ---funny BUT true...sooo menawhile my pc runs out of space and I have to delete images, or save them on DVD before I can load any:((( Shazam was that a long sentence -ha!
One day I will get it together and have a zoom lens, PS or at least elements, lots of memory on my pc, a laptop, & much more experience I hope !!! Ha!
I do appreciate your telling me about the free software as I do have photfiltre, and picassa- that is all I use at this time......
Actually I have PS 7. but not enough memory to use it ...That's my story & I'm stickin to it :))
Best Wishes,
Michele~

Dear Michele...love the colors and composition! Have you tried a free trial of NeatImage, a noise reduction software? It works great for me. By the way, a lot of people don't seem to realize that the Poetry in Pictures Project must have a poem with your photo...the photo is to illustrate an actual poem. People don't read the guidelines for these projects...lol.:)

Than YOU for your very good critique Ivi* I appreciate it very much ...I think I must have over-sharpened maybe to create this pixel problem(?)) or maybe too much saturation (?)) or Boyh -Lol.... but I do appreciate your honesty very much my dear-
