"Lovely composition!"

"Very interesting, thanks; I may try it when I find some time. There are so many tools out there (e.g. Painter), but it still takes an artist to make art. Nice work on the fractals, and some great photos too."

"Virginia, I use a plug in for photshop called fractalius. I try to use a bold subject with good composition with a distinct foreground and background. Like most people I have developed my own modifications beyond what fractalius does but if you use photoshop I recommend it. Actually I only played around with it for one weekend, I have not had a lot of time for the last year or so to do much with it. Scott"

"These are incredible! How do you do it, if you don't mind my asking?"

"Very cool! Is it too late for me to come down? What is that rope with floats strung out behind your boat? And how did you catch the turtle? And when will you be home? Scott"
