And man have you come a long way...Its quite amazing to look back at our first images how exited it made us when we thought we had something special. And also nice to see how far we have come as well...Thanks again for sharing Sid

Sid-
I really appreciate you posting this. Most of the time I am awed and inspired by the great images posted on BPN, but sometimes it is a tad depressing when I compare to my stuff--so big a difference. Great to see how quickly you closed the gap from OK to Outstanding.

Sid:

Very educational to do this. Helps us, and as James said, helps others realize what is possible!

Dare I say, inspirational!

Well thanks for the inspiration Sid! Where's his feet? too much in the center, not enough canvas, head looks too soft, color isn't vibrant, background is distracting and I think the whites are blown out. Phew, good thing you kept practicing!!! TFS Ann

Hey Sid,
What I like about this image is nothing......except that with this image you can clearly see your rapid growth as a photographer and take a bow on how far you have come in such a short time!!! Way to go and keep on growing!!! :cheers::cheers::cheers:
