Phil,

mate, this is the one. perfect b/w conversion, and compared to the last one, this one has *so* much clarity and detail.

i love that it floats there w/o the stem. it's a commanding composition!

well done buddy!

-Joel

Shirley D. Cross   {K:143156} 11/19/2006
Wow...congratulations, dear Phillip...and two photos on the front page at once!:)


Cathy Carroll   {K:27313} 11/19/2006
Congratulations again Phillip, 2 on home page-pretty special!! (homepage hog)
Just got back from four days in FNQ and managed to take a few shots there, I'm hoping to contribute a little again to this wonderful site. I really wanted to participate in this latest project-I had no idea how little peace and tranquility I come across on a daily basis! Hope we can catch up soon!
Did you hear the Perrins are moving to Sydney in the New Year, the Carroll's might have to be the ones to do the visiting next time. CC


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13452} 11/19/2006
Oh, Shirley, thank you so much! It's a bit embarrassing! I feel like I'm hogging the front page! :))

Cheers

Phil


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13452} 11/19/2006
Oh, thanks, Cathy!

Don't rub it in! :) I feel really embarrassed!

There are far more deserving images, than mine, to be on the front page! Oh, well, there's not much I can do about it - the computer allocates when photos are to come to the front page. I just wish it had an inbuilt embarrassment detector - if it did, it would remove at least one of mine, today! :)))

No, I did not know the Perrins were moving. Are they going to the Sydney Con, to teach?

I look forward to catching up, again, soon!

Cheers

Phil


Alin Neamtu   {K:37} 11/19/2006
