Another pic from my photo shoot last Saturday. Enjoy!

Nice Swampy. You really captured the grungy feel.

Nice shot Swampy. Guess I was tired but I could find no start or end to it, just clicking and clicking to no end. I'll try again tomorrow. Then I had a damn hard time optimizing for web, I will never understand why images do that to me sometimes. I am a novice and new to this photo stuff so forgive me.

Very nicely done, Alan. Liked it a lot.

I was going to make some quip about wild horses and the AHB.
Couldn't think of anything,so just posted the pic.

The trick is the use of gradients maps (I used Three bars sin gradient; been using this
GIMP gradient a lot lately) and sparkles; don't forget the sparkles.
