Hi again,

I had to browse your galleries. I like your work. This photo, like the Staci photo has interesting color... and beautiful model. Was this perhaps intended for the 5 minutes before sunset challenge? I guess that would explain the color.

Lovely, simply lovely!

I stumbled across this image and just had to comment. It is wonderful. Surreal, but wonderful to quote a line from Knotting Hill.. I don't know what you did to get the colors you got, but I really like them. They seem to explode off the screen. I would like to know how you did it. Oh, by the way, the model is perfect.

Great work.

Looks like the butterfly is a little overexposed. The foliage is exposed well. Good focus and very crisp sharpness!

I found the same thing when I photographed a similar steam engine from the same perspective. All the steam rained down in front of the train as spots. I almost entered mine in last month's FS. I cloned most of it out in my own pic, however. I'm very curious if that aspect of your shot will come off to the average voter as what it is, or if they will perceive it as a flaw.

oh my! This is wonderful! I really wish that you had desaturated the barn a bit. The colors on the right are so soft and so nice, that the red really draws my eye. -9- (would definitely be a 10 if the barn was not as red)

I find the building a little distracting, otherwise this is a wonderful shot.
