Colour
Hi Bettie
Well - I am registered and will just stay this way for a while. Great pics and your use of colour is marvellous. The shot of the fountain is magical and that little blue screen on one of the peoples hand camera adds a spark.
See you soon.
Bryan.

hello dear Bettie, have just had a quite pleasant journey through your work. Here where i live at we have these penguins nesting under our house. They can be quite noisy, and am actually getting tired of just how much noise they make. So shall give them to you and hope you enjoy them. I have given them to a few people but they just seem to keep coming back here. All the best my friend......roger

Hi Bettie, Thank you so much for your nice comment on my presentation "Natural Art" and this is very interesting that we both have the same idea. I think you can find so many nice shapes and forms in nature ,there are no limits. Clouds,Dunes, Trees,Waves, and many other things are both nice in details and wide angle, concentrating on this kind of motives opens a new world for everyone.
These are all God's creations and the whole nature is inspiration for all of us to enjoy and appreciate our wonderful planet.
Warmest regards Sadegh

Bettie -
It takes a great amount of time and concentration to read each of the captures that have immediately caught my eye! I will have to revisit often to experience your portfolio in full. I want to thank you for the insightful and gracious critique you gave my "The Dark Side of Things" BW work. My art tends to be a bit "edgy", and therefore not always read with the sensitivity and "outside the box", creativity in which I envisioned. I am always encouraged when peers whose work I admire, "get it". Thank you again for your appreciation of my art and art style. I have put you in my "interesting persons" folder. I will be looking forward to viewing your new works. All The Best, Catherine
