Thanks - another great photographer I hadn't known of before - and your work reflectes Toussaint's depth and richness of color. Very nice!

II looked up this photographer whom I've never heard of and she only comes up as someone who exhibits on Pbase. Every bit of google info I got on her linked back to pbase. I guess she is well known in the pbase community but my understanding of this challenge extended more toward really well-known photographers---someone whose work can be seen outside the non-juried digital community perhaps, i.e, in galleries, books,and museums.

Anyway, I took a minute to browse through her stuff and I guess this kind of emmulates her close-up nature stuff. The difficulty I have is that I didn't find her work all that original or even captivating, just extremely prolific. My suggustion is you check a few collections of works by master photographers.

On its own merit, this is a nice study of texture and line, if not particularly engaging to me.

This technique would work well in the impressionism masters challenge if you are qualified to enter. It makes it look like a painting.
