Thanks Rick. There are big building south of the pier, hotels primarily, including Lowes where I always used to stay. But the beach houses north of the pier are of modest size. But not modest price of course. > On Nov 7, 2015, at 12:07 AM, Rick Womer wrote: > > I like

Thanks Bipin. The background is too bright. I'm not happy with the rendering and will revise it today. The brightness setting on my monitor had change, probably due to an inadvertent keystroke, and I didn't notice until after I had posted this. The sky has some tonality on the neg. Paul via

Thank you, Frank. And thanks everyone who looked or commented. Regarding that ripped top, to allay fears that it represents violence of any kind: it was purposefully torn by the model's boyfriend to create a peek-a-boo garment for posing like this. Sans rips, it would fail to allow the nipple to

Re: PESO -- Dinosaurs II

I prefer the new version. The sky/clouds of the first one wasn't such a bother to me but I found there wasn't enough tonal contrast between machine and background. It needed to jump put from the trees, and that wasn't happening in version 1.0. Version 1.1 is a huge improvement in tonality and

Re: PESO ~ A portrait of Maggie

She has an absolutely striking face. As usual with you, the photo is technically flawless. I'm looking at it on my phone, and when I "enlarge" it, effectively cropping it just below her left hand, I find it a much more compelling image. It focuses my attention on her face. I find everything
