HI Joanne, thanks for you comments on my dream stream pic. I really like the composition quality of your photos and it shows you have a natural eye for photography but , your camera is limiting your photo quality. I started with a 1.3 MP sony disk and got a few good shots then realized I couldnt ever get what I wanted to create with it. I got my sony and it changed everything and really motivated me to do more. as far as technical knowledge, its just learning to use the tools. I hate reading instructions so Ive done it by trial and error, mostly error and unlimited redo functions lol I also use JASC paint pro software after deciding photoshop was a pain to use. I had it at work and had them take it out and instal jasc, everything loved the ease of it and the new program can do anything photoshop can do at 1/7 the cost! if you like sunset photos you might want to check out some more of mine just for enjoyment at http://community.webshots.com/album/72322344XOCJer keep shooting, you have the gift, now just need a better camera and yet that will always be the case with us addicts lol Kenny
I like the idea, but I think you could work on its execution - the cutout is pretty rough and there image quality is quite marginal (but then the original looks a bit rough in that department as well). Do it over with a different camera?
