beautiful pic. it's almost mystical looking.
thank you for your kind words about my photos.
if their not up to what i feel they should be, i'll play around w/ them. usually i get a pic.totally different than my initial "eye" saw...if it's good i'll keep it if not, it's gone.
I just use microsoft dig.imaging. i've always liked the warm,grainy look or just blk/wht but i just use either the diffuse glow along w/ lightening or darkening it manually.i am getting bored w/ the m.d.i. so i think i'm going to look into other imagaging tools. i think for me it's more about not being affraid to fool around w/
what you have and see what you come up with.
i enjoy your other photos also, they're different.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the shot, but am not certain about the blurring technique used. Seems to extreme in certain area's.
