Well.... Went back and looked and now i see.. I guess the shriveling on the leaves is life's pp.... I like it, and the new one... Talent girl, ya got talent!

OK, so now I know I don't pay attention, but... When you crop in Bridge, it automatically brings up a thirds screen. I went back through my crops and realized I have been subconsciously avoiding the 1/3 crop lines. I have been filling the boxes. Now I am going to play with putting the focal center on one of the grid crossbars and see what happens. This is so exciting!!!

thanks Sher...and to think in January I barely knew how to open a file in Photoshop Elements...
still cant wait for GG to show us all Layers...im looking forward to that.

Yea! When is that???? I love me some layers... In with the good parts, out with the bad parts - kind of a reverse fast-food resteraunt concept, if you know what I mean? I gotta pack.

well, it is chicken breast meat...
marinated yummy in a spicey mexican blend
then sauteed quick with peppers and onions
then piled on a flat bread...flatter than indian flat
with some cheese and cilantro (in my case) but often
served with sour cream and salso to wrap in there too.

then wrap and yum



some people add cheese and lettuce and tomato and make it more like a taco - are you doing okay on your diet Nan - I know it sucks - if I had to eat nothing but white meat I would just go vegetarian I think - lol - I don't eat a lot of meat anyway

The fog was RRs beautiful boat pics... And I will be posting today. Love this challenge, thanks for taking it... You and nanny....

There are some subjects where centering works best and I think most people center because that is where cameras focus, on mine I can change where it focuses but some can't. Photography is fun and if you play with it enough sometimes you stumble upon lighting and comp answers accidentally, just by looking at what others and yourself have done and find what is appealing to you as the photog. Different things appeal to different people, what I like in a photo may be the exact thing you hate.

Nan, you are as bubbly as pea soup, make that tomato soup for Red. Yes I liked your flower and bee.

p19 Loved the grid (statue is terrif)

Pg 19

Song - nice to see a photo of you and your other shots are really great

Rufe - Thank you so kindly, that is the best compliment I have ever gotten and it means a lot that it came from you.
Your orchid shot is amazing, the empty space does help make it fantastic, but so much more too - I like the bloom but the bud next to it adds to the photo as well as the bloom farther back and the dark BG compliments the color of the orchid making it a greeat photo all around. I see why it is one of your fav's

Pg 20
Rufe - congratulations on employee of the month but also on being liked by the boss enough that he keeps milk there for you _ LOL too funny

PG 21 -

RR - you made me laugh with the toy comment, but yes it should be fun it is a hobby after all

Lass - very nice shots

pg 22

RR - love the fall colors and yes thirds on the second set, except the last is more like leading lines I think

Pg 23

Jer - great example of the rule of thirds and beautiful too

pg 24

PJ - stunning and since you asked, I might crop a bit off the left side but it looks good as is too

Sher - nice shots - leading lines in a couple of them! :thumbup:
