Christine,many thanks again.Was unable to re log on again last night,too many progs open at once!!!.Cannot believe how you managed the pattern.I will print off the second one as well as the 1st,put them both on a disc,then they can decide which they prefer.
Christine,again many thanks.My post processing is quite limited these days,problems using the mouse ,also keeping everything straight etc..Amazing as to how you sorted the pattern,very good.

Great Job Christine - she might also appreciate a little softening of the passage of time, without creating an artificial look

Thanks,Clive,I have saved your copy.Very good.I gave her the 2 copies which Christine edited,and she was very happy with them,will print off your copy for her tommorrow.I would love to be able to edit portrait shots,the shots which Lesley posts on the gallery are so professional.

Saphire, you are the boss! Beautiful work. May you have many blessings come your way. And Christine, the shot would make anyone proud. Maybe she will be a little more friendly with the camera after she sees your beautiful work. Nice shot.

Superb work, reminds me of the old joke back in the darkroom days when a customer at a lab asked if a photo could be reprinted with one of a group with his hat removed. The printer said yes I think I can do it, what colour was the chaps hair, to which the astonished customer said but you will be able to tell that when you have got his hat off!

Mike ,very good.I have another one in similar vein.When I first started posting on BF,very naive,could just about manage to post a photo and make a comment,also posted everything and anything which showed a feather and an eye!!!.Anyway,this particular evening (all shots were digiscoped,hence quite blurry etc!!!)I posted a shot of a Stonechat,from the rear.Not a 100% sure of the sex of the bird-male/female,so did ask.One reply was ,that I could edit the shot in Elements,and turn it around thereby I would be able to see the face of the bird.Yes,this is true,the posters name was Michael Frankis,any older members of BF(time on Forum as opposed to years ie) will remember him.anyway,I replied with thanks,and said that i would have a try later in the evening.Had to make hubby's tea.Returned to the Forum,to ask exactly how I could perform this edit as had been suggested,fortunately other members had seen this thread,and did warn me that it was a joke.I was all set to have a go!!!.
I felt a proper wally.

Love it! :D

Christine, I think I would have died with embarrassment and not posted for a while, its a brilliant story. I think I would have fell for that one and not realized until it came to do the editing.
