Quoting Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I forgot you were using elements. You can approximate the shadow/highlight tool in curves, although it's not as effective. Paul Er, no. Elements 3 has the shadow/highlight tool. No version of Elements, to date, has shipped with the Curves tool.

I like the pic for the moment you caught. Just love seeing the heavy use of technology there. Put a smile on my face. I don't like the bright spots right behind her, it really is distracting and keeps pulling my eyes away. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, May 7, 2005, 9:35:40 PM, you wrote:

Great pic, Boris! But I would do a little more PS work. If you go to shadows/highlights, you can bring up the skin values and hair detail while knocking down some of those bright background highlights. Nice composition and framing. Paul On May 8, 2005, at 12:35 AM, Boris Liberman wrote: Hi!

At first I thought this should be in color, but almost immediately changed my mind. This is a comical observation about modern life, and you've captured it wonderfully. BW reinforces the notion that perhaps we should all slow down a bit. Good shot. BTW, I think she may have captured a photo of

ROTFLMAO It is indicative of our modern society, It reminds me of a woman I used to work with at a lab. I don't think she could go to the bathroom without making 3 phone calls first :) Technically I'd try to adjust curves to get her face a touch lighter. Butch

The image is great, but I think I would have lightened the medium tones of the picture a little but. It would have been great if you caught the dog eating her kid while she photographed some good-looking man while telling about him i the phone, but I guess that would be too much to ask .-)

Hi Boris, This has got to be one of the best photos I've seen on the list in quite a while. It tells a great story, it's funny and compelling and interesting, and the composition is close to spot on - can't be improved much, if at all - the focus is where it should be, although a little more
