Angela - I like so many of your photos.... I agree with the person who said "pick your favorites." Yet, in the spirit of helping, here are some picks from me: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31088115@N00/12801708 http://www.flickr.com/photos/31088115@N00/18285639 http://www.flickr.com/photos/31088115@N00/12801771 http://www.flickr.com/photos/31088115@N00/12801854 http://www.flickr.com/photos/31088115@N00/12801877 congrats on the show. i'll be sure to go. :)

But there are degrees of Photoshoppery. I run all mine through Photoshop or Elements - to adjust levels, crop, convert to black and white, or simply to compensate for forthcoming JPEG compression on Flickr - but I still prefer a photo to be about itself and not what has been done to it.

In the interest of full disclosure, there is not a single pic there that has not been messed with in Photoshop. Even the pier closeup had an infared filter applied. ;)

angela! they are splendid.

I too like the ones without enhancing if I had to state a preference. The pier one might be my very favorite and one I’d buy myself. If that’s the Pismo pier, then Pismo has never looked so lovely.

1. Dreamy…because it is.
2. knitting….because its interesting
3. lookslikewinxp…..because it’s one of the few pictures I’ve ever seen that actually captures the beauty of a place……I’ve seen that beauty in your area and thats a fabulous pic.

I love your stuff and think you’ve got a great eye. I prefer your photos unadulterated (or converted to b+w), because I don’t go for Photoshop trickery so much. Three I’d definitely go for are

PC250162b (though I think the horizon could do with a 1.97° CCW rotate. I know it has a quirky charm on the slant, but people who make judgements on photos in magazines always pick on that kind of thing)

PA200010b

P1010069

The Knitting, too, because of the teapot: food related stuff (like the pumpkins) should go down well in an eatery (though maybe not sides of beef hanging up in a coldstore!).

I’ve been a fan of your photos and site for quite some time. I honestly can’t pick any. Just pick your favs. You can’t go wrong……..
