@kaushal: Thanks Kaushal!! This was the tilt technique and it is posted on the Am3 Forum if you want the step by step of it.
Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
This is a tricky shot for the eyes. Specially mine! :D It moves!? or I'm just imagining! Great job, Amy.

@Behrooz: It just has the effect of moving because of the blur... it's not your eyes. Are your peepers getting better? It's probably a daily improvement thing, eh? But I'm very glad you do seem to be doing better!! Thanks Behrooz.. and you've been posting some incredible images!!
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
What fantastic use of selective focus and B&W! Love it.
Sorry I've been AWOL again. This time my PC is down, in a persistent vegetative state, knackered, in the void and otherwise beyond use. Had to come to an internet cafe to type this, but hope to get it up and running over the weekend. Thanks, as always, for your comments.

@Stu: Hey Stu!! No problemo, eh?!! Too bad about the PC... hate that when it happens. Damn things, we depend far too much on them. Thanks to you for keeping up to me when you can... that speaks volumes!!
@Paulo Santos: Thanks Paulo!!
@Bron: Thanks Bron!! I really love this tilt technique... it can take the so-so and make it into a not-so-so!!
@rem_la: Thanks!! ;-)

Blank from City,
you think I am walking up THOSE STAIRS !!!! you have gone and lost your mind woman !! They look like something out of a Horror Movie and I know when I get up there somebody is going to jump out and put a HACHET through my HEAD and I will tumble back down those steps and lie in a big bloodied heap at the bottom .... NO THANKS !!!!
Very nice capture miss A :o)

@Blank: Your imagination knows no bounds!! You must have a blast with your kids... and vice versa!! Thanks Rob... again you've given me my giggle for the day!!
Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
LOL at the comment from Blank! Yup, this turned out nice. Are these stairs from the historical park?

@Roberta: Hey Roberta! No these stairs are at Neck Point Park in Nanaimo. Rob is a very funny guy... always gives me a good giggle.
yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece
excellent shot amy - is this with a lensbaby? - I love this image - bravo
11 Oct 2007 4:28pm
@yiannis krikis: Thanks yiannis!! This wasn't with a lensbaby. I did this in PS using the tilt technique. It's a new favourite technique for me now!! LOL
@Amir: Thanks Amir!! It's that tilt technique again... do love its effects! ;-)
