Mira and I both agreed we'd post photos and ask for feedback, so here are mine for the May contest

Thanks!

1. Favorite

My favorite was Mac, , the lookout (maybe because I love dogs?). Nice pics.

3. First one

But you have to provide a sound trac with it.

4. Do you have a tune in mind?

5. The little tune Alfredo posted the other day

Shrimp Boats Are A Comin'

6. I'm thinking more along the line of a Gwendolyn

and although she was a Gwyneth--or Gwen--not a Gwendolyn, the ultimate seduction scene
by the incomparable Gwen Verdon comes to mind.

7. My favorites are

Gwendolyn and then Mack. The one where you ask for color or b/w I think the b/w is superior but it needs a hairline fine black border for delineation. CC once told me how to do that, but I forgot. If there is one thing that frustrates me about myself its the sheer volume of things I cannot do.

8. I like the border idea, too

9. Not what I had in mind

I had in mind a hairline border. This one, by the way, is also too big for use in a contest. I think. the phone rang and I pushed post by accident.
I wanted to add that I'm glad to know this is possible in photoshop, and thank you for this information.
Even the color photo would benefit from this tiny border. The blue sky would be contained instead of fading away.

10. Swansboro...eh? I'll be at Emerald Ilse for Memorial Day weekend...

Nice shots!

11. Enjoy! I was staying at Emerald Isle last week when I took this shot.

12. I like the color version of "following".

The b/w version loses something in the conversion.

13. OK, I've decided.

Sticking with my original choice: Mack, the Lookout, Aboard the Kokolishi

[mnhtnbb]

14. I changed my mind...
