Soft and fuzzy: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/96701261/original Sharp and gritty: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/96701259 > Soft and fuzzy:http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/96701261/original > > Sharp and gritty:http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/96701259 A great shot of both feathered friends. The duckling is an excelent portrait of youth. The detail is supurb and rich. I can almost feel the softness of the down. The catch light in the eye brings life to the image. The background is soft enough to not distract, yet tells the viewer that the duckling is next to water. The Martin house hunters. Great shot. Very sharp and it almost feels a bit to sharp. The colors are vibrant and clean. The specular hight light in the eyes, like with the duckling, give lift to the image. The detail of the surface of the gourd is amazing. Is it agourd or something else completely differant? Did you use a flash on either? or a reflector? Tough time of day to get the shot. High direct sunlight. But very well done. Keep at it Bret.

My tripod was the window frame of my Nissan Altima.

Them 8-bladed lenses really make for some shitty bokeh. I'm telling ya, get some Nikkors since they use 9-blades and you get perfect bokeh every time. > Sharp and gritty: > http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/96701259 Nice subjects, but as usual it is highly cropped and very over processed.

I don't know if she will ever reapear on these groups again. I hope not. She brought a breath of freshness to this group. Her imagery is supurb and makes the viewer take notice of the message of the image. If she taught classes in B&W I might just take a couple from her. Draco What'll you do? Use three mirrors?

Draco Are you suggesting that I and Helen are no more than reflections of Bret? I do believe that if anyone should be checking their mirrors is you. Even though we three do have a friendship and agree on a lot of photography, we are very, very different. We allow for those differences, which more than I can say for several folk on this and other News Groups. Besides, being polite has never harmed anyone and has brought several folk together.

Well that proves that you aren't me, but it occurs to me that both you and Helen are always polite. Hmmmmmmm..... > > Are you suggesting that I and Helen are no more than reflections of > > Bret?

Hmmmmmmm..... ROFL But I will never be able to be as sweet as Ms Helen. She is one in a million. May she continue to shoot and share and offer her unique views to the world.

Hmmmmmmm..... I've turned over a new leaf. I'm an insurrectionist. I throw caution to the wind and live each day as if it were my last.

Helen's compliments may be a little sugary, but I'd rather have her write on my book jacket, than the usual: ..."managed to arrange pixels into a recognizable image..." "...I was struck by the color and depth of his photographs..." "...among all the photographers doing portraiture, he ranks as one of them..." "...fills a much-needed void in the digital imaging scene..." "...each photo is more interesting than the next..." "...I laughed, I cried, I peed my pants..." "...I never though miniature golf could be so captivating..."
