A real big thank you to all who voted for my photo.
I was surprised!! .. thrilled & amazed!! to win something like this.
I feel sorry for Coathanger, as his image was great.. and clear - Coathanger, good luck from me for Feb POTM.
I am still a beginner in most ways, not knowing much about camera parts and terminology, etc. but enjoy seeing in my mind the type of image I would like to capture.
I took probably 25 shots of my cocktail in various areas of my house,(must have looked like a drunk!!), then had to choose one and edit a little. I used basic picture viewer and a touch of CS2.
A special thank you to Debbie for being the first to respond with lovely comments.
I thoroughly love editing photos (I am just beginning learning Photoshop CS2), and have enjoyed trying my new skills on some photos in "Edit my Photo".
Thank you all.
