Thank you for your generouse comments in Beauty contest :)

Ed,

My biggest problem, as it pertains to these contests, is that I am a terrible photographer. Unusually, I think I was able to make a better composite than the three original, terrible photographs:

http://images23.fotki.com/v766/photos/4/420170/4835024/IMG_5528-vi.jpg
http://images23.fotki.com/v807/photos/4/420170/4898978/IMG_6041-vi.jpg
One of them is outside, but two were inside with bad light, and flash prohibited.

You're right, of course, that I should use software to improve it, but I'm terrible at that too. The last time I used software to improve a photo, I came up with an egg-shaped rabbit with tentacles.

As always, thanks for your comment in what I call the “Finding Beauty” contest.

Hi,
I just happened to see one of the Photos in your Blondie album, in the Random Shots section....

What a beautiful collection of Photographs. They convey the mysteriousness, and sensuality of the young woman, while still keeping her fully clothed. Too many Photogs seem to forget that a little mystery is at the heart of a woman....

Great job! I'll to check out more!

Dennis

Well done ... there are some stunning images ... at this stage I am still with my original ( pic 3) favourite but I will be back ... to relook ...:))))

Ed: I made a rearrangement and placed it first, in part due to sharing a similar notion with you.

Congratulations on your excellent photo and finish.

I am not ashamed to tell you.. I put the album in slideshow and it brought a tear to my eye.. this is an incredible piece of work

Dan: Ed, I went through these again and enjoyed EVERY single photo. My hat is off to you! I am having difficulty finding words that express the beauty and emotion that is in EVERY shot. You have conveyed the love shared by this wonderful couple and explored the beauty of the setting that it was held at the same time. My god man...these are beautiful photos! Every one will be a treasured memory for many years, of this I am sure! Congratulations on producing not a wedding album, but a piece of art..that shows a wedding.

your pics are always greater!
ciao

:-D

Ed, well let me know when those get done as well. It looks like such a raw and untamed part of the world, and I must admit, somewhere that I will not be traveling to without reason LOL. My vacations tend to head for warm weather, not cold, and there are not many icy mountains in Jamaica - LOL

Ed: I am, in contrast, in favor of colder, misty weather... I will let you know, Dan.

YOU my friend, are always the consumate gentleman! A sincere thank you for your kind words and thoughts about Betty
