"This is so close I want to come out and hold the reflector for you. "

When do you arrive? I'll have a limo & bonbons waiting.

No - please don't go away...I still need to pick your brain. Ok - so here is the bad news. I fell down the wet steps of the porch off my studio. The bruises and sprained wrist do not bother me, but the camera that was smashed does. I will not be re-photographing her soon - but hopefully it won't be too long.

So - I'd like to try and make a go of this one. I enlarged it a bit from the crop I showed above - now it is 20x30 (on my first ABS panel). Now - obviously this is rough, but here are some airbrushed red bubbles to represent geranuims.... looks silly to me, but could be that I just cant imagine them as anything other than red bubbles. Is this sort of the type of balance you meant Sharon?

You artists with the background in illustration really have it over on us mere mortals. Design and composition are where I am weakest (I think). If I were to go back to school it would be mainly to focus on that. I seem to be able to recognize good set ups in others work, but designing it myself is the kicker. It seems as if some have such an inate ability to set up the compositions well.

Linda - I am so glad you posted that - his work is fabulous. You sent me that link before, but popups in my computer had taken over the thumbnails of his work, but now I got to see it. I haven't seen that many beautiful butts since college.
