Marion from Cincinnati, United States
This shot is perfect! Again I love the b&w rendering. You always put such a soft touch to it, fantastic. I edited my first picture yesterday with photoshop elements 7 and can't wait to learn all the ins and outs. I hope that one day, I will get results like these...also a new lens may help....at least that is what I am hoping. :)

Denise from Perry, United States
Fantastic, love the colors! I want to see your girls in their dance costumes.... Was reading your comments on another page. I just flipped through many of your shots to show my daughter how beautiful your little girls are. Elizabeth danced for 11 years till she injured herself and had to give it up.( Her original dream was to attend university for dance and go from there....) She traveled to HEidelberg and Seattle to dance, had class 6 days a week, did ballet, MODERN, SOME TAP AND JAZZ. Now she will be a physical therapist and help other injured dancers:)
9 May 2009 1:12am
@Denise: Thank you Denise! I will put up some photos of my girls in their dance costumes, I promise! :) I just need time to edit them but hopefully in the near future I will make a little "dance" series. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's injury preventing her from pursuing something that she loved so much... :( But what a great alternative to her carrier! :o) Good for her. I wish her all the best! :)

sheye from Canada
It is just a pleasure viewing your photos.
I have such a passion for B&W.
You always seem to know when a photo deserves that treatment.
I love how the grass is full of white flecks (clover?) which ties in with their dresses.
And the black around their faces accentuates their expressions.
16 May 2009 2:58pm
@sheye: Thank you so very much!!! :)) The white flecks are petals from our cherry tree.
Edward James from New Hampshire, United States
