Good stuff Peter and Pavel. I'm glad you brought this thread back to life.

Janet, they're both referring to the thread title -- "A Photo for the Ladies"

Peter & Pavel -- you were very brave to enter the "ladies" thread, and the quality of your renditions proves (along with ByRo/ByRa's earlier submission), that men can concentrate on art rather than merely the appeal of a subject.

Uh, Peter, you can take off your wig now... Peter? .....Oh, never mind.

Well, you guys inspired me to work on Troy again -- I could either practice on Scott Deardorff's Beagle (very cute) or Troy -- I'll start with Troy...

Falsetto is very "in" IF you can sing -- perhaps you should hang onto the voice until your "American Idol" audition is over.

Re: Creative Portraits: A photo for the ladies

You guys are too funny. Now that I've had my chuckle for the day (and it did brighten my day), I can say in all honesty that I'm liking the revival of this thread and the work that is being done.

Kudos to all. And again thank you for your humor.

Janet
