1. Hey ralps. Thanks for finally completing the series...

The spring on is the best in my mind, and most complimentary of the season it presents...

Thank you for all of your hard work around here.

You are appreciated. :)

3. Your work was the one thing that really stood out.....

when I first discovered that there was a Photography Forum. How much memory does one of these eat up when you do it?

You inspired me to give it a try, but I don't have your patience or talent... so I cheat and use software. This was made from 5 photographs, but it still has a pesky fish-eye effect. Think my crappy camera has something to do with it...

4. Thanks F.Gordon, Your photo is really nice. The largest of my photos

is the Spring one, at 4 MB as a jpg, as a photoshop format it's 71.8 MB. The largest photoshop format one is the Fall one at 92.9 MB. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

7. That's less than I would have guessed

Someday when I feel real creative I'll give your style a try.

11. Ralps

Not to hijack the thread, but could you recommend a good tutorial book for working with Photoshop? I plan on buying the full-blown version sometime this when I treat myself to a DSLR camera. BTW, nice pics!

12. Personally I like the Visual Quickstart guides. Here's the Barnes & Noble

link. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=xgx14ghLo6&isbn=032121353X&itm=1

16. Seen as a group,

I like summer and winter best. I think it's the clouds in those pictures make them come alive for me.

Nice work! :thumbsup:

18. Winter is my favorite

The arc of the clouds is repeated in the arc of the layout, houses and snow, and the goldish quality of the colors gives it a warm quality that counters the winter-snow cold of the subject.
