Dear Lawrence, this rite in Italy and not only in Italy has always existed. The portfolio is a document of a tradition that is disappearing. I am sorry if you think that these pictures are bloody, but if you see a "http://www.worldpressphoto.org/" images are much more bloody. Thanks for your comment. Regards, Antonio

Because of a comment you left on one of my images, I came over to see who you were. I'm suitably impressed. You do wonderful animal photos, and I'm not much for the genre. You do some great flowers and that's a genre I love to hate. And your people images are beyond reproach. I'll have to come back for more.

Thanks very much for your comments. You have a very interesting portfolio yourself. I particularly like your "Fruit and Veg" series and flower shots. Answering to your question: you cannot make an HDR from a single photo. Having said that, you can possibly achieve the effect by use of some Photoshop plug-ins on a single photo. However, the outcome will not be as satisfactory as a true dynamic range of a few RAW images combined together. Regards and Congratulations on your work!

Hey, Lawrence, thanks for the great comment! However, I'm going to remove this image from the site and replace it. Something's wrong with the resolution. It's definitely fuzzier than the high-res version. Let me try again.

Hello Lawrence,
After going through some of your pictures, I had to comment on your portfolio.
Very big variety of different kind of motives. Your images from Cuba are fascinating - a place I have always wanted to visit.
Your people shots, being in HD, B&W or just color, all display a very good technical grip - especially of the post-processing work. The portraits are touching.
These kind of motives being close to my own preference, perhaps that's partly why they engage.
Serene beauty, gentle moods and sadness. And it gave me very much enjoyment to the look though.
Congrats on a great portfolio.
All the best

Try to position yourself up near the judges' booth, before the parade starts.

Hey my friend,
Thank you for the positive comments you made on my "Seaweed" shot. Actually I got these last April but didn't finish PP on all of them. However, it would be nice to see this in summer--it was so miserable when I was there! A driving rain and cold-to-the-bones wind kept me company--but the scenery was irrestistable.

Hi Lawrence
First and for all, thank you for visiting and commenting on one of my recent critique forum submission - which in fact gave me the opportunity to discover your works. In summary, I found two wonderful folders "Animal World & Portraits with a variety of objects, scenes and color combination which you converted masterly into attractive photographic documents. I will pop in from time to time to see what's new in you folders and to refresh my memory a bit. Have a nice day wherever you are! Regards, Sadegh.
