    Killer shot man. The Flash work you were talking about was a strobe hooked on to a strip bank. Like a large flash... Just expose for the background and then pop the flash as well... will fill in the subject as well expose for the background. Does this make sense? Just let me know if you want me to explain more. Cheer, Thaddeus

    This reminds me of the pleasure of watching a movie with a great story line or being caught up in a good book. I think this image is all about the feeling the soft light in the late afternoon brings up in its viewer. I think it's a Yes. flickr.com/groups/thejurors/discuss/72157600427480619/ flickr.com/groups/thejurors/

    I was a bit borderline on this, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. The soft, muted colors really appeal. My vote is YES. Please post this to the main pool now. Thank you. flickr.com/groups/thejurors/discuss/72157600427480619/ flickr.com/groups/thejurors/

    Do you mean that this image has this effect because you use a filter in front of your lens ?

    Just now i learn that exist's filters like this ...

    I think that i must say thank you ;)
