New Photo Discussion 1: Cover Girl
- Nikki McDonald See Nikki's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Thanks, Nikki! I couldn't agree more about the lady. She is a co-worker and long-time friend who did some professional modeling in another life. I will pass your comments along...! The light was really good and we got several other incredible shots using reflected light from the water. Thanks! | |

New Photo Discussion 5: Pax #2
No candid capers at the Crèma and no surf action on this wild 'n' wet day so I headed down the coast to my favourite backwater hoping for some good waterscapes. Mother Nature smiled on me and I was not disappointed to find an Egret nearby at the water's edge and then this Pelican alone in a marvelous stormy weather waterscape. - Dennis Gay See Dennis's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Hello Dennis: I really like to be out on those kinds of days. There is something supercharged about the air and the sight. It also sets a mood that you have captured. I especially like the crisp water and a cloudy skyline, the two textures go very well together. Congratulations on another great piece of art. - Merna L.
