Bienvenue Daniel!!

Wonderful composition, great exposure.  I bet it was very hard not to
get your reflection in the subject.  It's a great pic!

Good capture. Most folk would just walk
by and not see the photo.

Good to see you back.

Getting even isn't good enough.

Someone needs to wash your balls.
I think I would've Photoshopped myself out of it.
And even though the color seems to be a bit off in this one, I like it.

LOL....

I was going to suggest Photoshop, but I'm not familiar with it.  Wow,
it can even remove relections like in the above pic?  I'm impressed.

It's a great program, and it's amazing what it can do.....I have only
scratched the surface, but removing unwanted items from the picture is duck
soup......It enables you to take a sample of the picture from somewhere
else, (usually nearby) and place it over the offending item.....For example,
I found a pop bottle resting against the curb in one of my photos that I
didn't notice when I took the picture, and with Photoshop, I was able to
take samples of the curb nearby, and place them over the pop bottle, until
the bottle was gone.....In a few minutes, you can "clean up" an area such as
litter on a lawn or rug, or dirt and mould specks in an otherwise clear
sky.....I frequently clean up streets and lawns in a few minutes time that
would take a janitor over an hour.....It's kind of like having your own
personal janitor/street sweeper along with you on photoshoots....:^)  -  Of
course, it requires digitizing your stuff....Putting it into your computer
so the program can work on it......

Holy Smokes!!  That's amazing Bill!  I've got pics with unwanted
distractions in them, and it ruins what could be a great pic.  I've got
one pic where, I never noticed when I was taking it,
a transvestite is in the corner wearing a bikini with his genitals
hanging out!  It's right smack in the corner of the pic.  I don't know
why I never noticed it, I guess I was so into the scenery at the beach.
This was years ago.
Anyways, I am interested in Photoshop, but nothing too complicated.
Which one do you suggest Bill?
Thanks for the advice!!  :^)

It's amazing the stuff you don't notice at the moment that you see
later that make you go "DOH!!!".

Yeah....But one of my books about the program said that if you look too
close...(blow it up too far) you will continue to see more and more
correctable stuff, until you find yourself rearranging things on a pixel to
pixel basis.....IOW, you have to use some common sense, and know where to
stop, and just accept that you can't make a "perfect picture" with it.....I
try to eliminate the big dirt specks but not go below stuff that's 4 or 5
pixels in size........

LOL.  I understand what you mean, but I meant stuff like the pop bottle
resting against the curb... I've done that, too.  Not notice something
like that when I take the picture, then it screams out at you when you
view it later.

Yes....And tissues and paper cups on lawns and the like.....I have to
confess though, sometimes I remove legitimate objects. Especially if they
are distracting to the overall picture....I commonly wipe out poor birds,
whose only offence was to happen to be in an otherwise clear & uncluttered
sky, and to be too far away to be clearly identified as birds.....

Is that Spike I see?!
What the heck are you doing in Paris?!  LOL :^)

I am blown-away at the magic one can do with Photoshop.
Great clean-up job Bret.

Perhaps, but then this forum is about 35mm photographic equipment, not
using a computer. I'm sure you may find an Adobe group somewhere if that's
your thing. :-P
