................................................
The slow but steady pace.......
Sigh.........I can't seem to get that common sense eye for photography. I know I'm moving forward in some aspects but at the pace that I feel I'm going, I don't know if I'll ever have an "oh my gosh" moment. I feel like either my photos are dull or they are over-the-top fake. The colors always seem off, especially after looking at other photographer's colors. I've just ordered Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 book in hopes of gaining a little knowledge though the last 6 books I've ordered aren't helping a whole lot. I've been running actions and still am not pleased with the results, though I fear it's probably because of my bad initial color. Here are a few that I think might be a little overdone....
I guess it doesn't help when almost all that you can photograph is your dogs.....haha. Brad is not always the most willing subject. I'd love to convince him to do a few photo sessions with us together, anyone have any good bribery tips?
I guess I'm looking for that jaw dropping color while still making the photo look realistic. I am inspired by so many people. Shari Barnes, Ronalyn, Audrey W, Rhonda Stark, and soooo many others.
Any CC on these is greatly appreciated. I want to learn from my mistakes.

Audrey! I know you won't believe me but I think these are pretty darn perfect! Seriously! I just looked through every photo on Ronalyn's blog, looked at Rhonda's photos on hers, and I don't see where your's aren't just as good! The colors on my screen look beautiful~like Carla said they POP! I honestly don't think they look fake at all! Keep on doin' what your doin'!

Audrey, I have to tell you I really *love* these photos....could you possibly be going a tad to hard on yourself and your skills?

Perhaps you have lost site or maybe never realized the artist/photog you are?!? Your work is amazing, no, *AMAZING* and so unique I continually look at your photos and say "how the hell does she do it?"

I am telling you woman, you have the eye, and I, along with hoardes of others adore your talent....there is no mistaking an Audrey shot or page....please, DON'T change!
