Menudo portafolio!Hacia tiempo que te tenia controlado ya que me gustan mucho los trabajos con PS o similar.Puede... o no gustar a mucha gente,pero lo realmente inquestionable es que tienes una ideas que despuntan por encima de mucha gente.La tecnica fotografica,asi como el dominio de programas no es nada sin el potencial creativo"sin esos destellos de imaginacion".Me gustaria que siguieras ense�andonos tus "digital alterations".Por cierto lo tienes mas facil que yo! tirarte al campo y realizar buenas fotos no creo que sea tan dificil.Quizas algun dia intercambiaremos monta�as por Sue�os.Un saludo Manuel

Defamiliarization
I like very much the works in your portfolio, because they bring the defamiliarization we all need like air. I have been seduced both by the dark and the colours in your work. You sometimes seem to play on two levels : 1. seeing : you seduce the untrained eye with colours, shapes and funny stories ; 2. thinking : the "happy few" can find interesting ideas in your photos. Good strategy, I should say :) Mass culture consumers and elitists, they all seem to like you. Good luck and keep up the good work ! Hekate

Hola Manuel!
Ha sido muy agradable encontrar tu galeria en PN. Es siempre atractivo ver el trabajo de un paisano (soy de Calella) al que le interese el surrealismo y tenga tanta imaginacion y buena mano para los trabajos con PS. Me ha gustado todo pero te pongo algun comentario en aquellas imagenes que me han llamado mas la atencion. Saludos desde Madrid.

Wow, you are good. This looks like PS for absolute experts :-)). Adobe will ask you to tell them how to get the most out of the application. Next to that the ideas are really creative. Without an idea PS would not help anyhow. I will come back for sure. Best! Kurt

Bienvenido al foro.
Ante todo enhorabuena por el trabajo tan fenomenal que realizas aplicando las tecnicas del PS. Tienes unas imagenes sensacionales muy buenas tanto en composicion como en color, rebosantes de imaginacion y originalidad.
Yo tambien soy del gremio informatico y para relajarme comence en el mundo de la fotografia haciendo cosillas con el PS, pero jamas tan buenas y logradas como las que acabo de ver al entrar en tus folders.
Un abrazo

Hello Friend!
Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.
I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.
Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting
Ken
