This is the first of my posts, hope there will eventually be more than just my sisters reading this but for now that's good enough...as long as they choose to commission some huge projects. Either them or, as you may be able to see to the left, some country with a burgeoning tourism market. The original photo for this one isn't mine, but it took me quite a while to rework it to this point. Especially since I have about that same amount of time in experience with photoshop. I'm sure no one reading this knows what a gannet looks like but they certainly don't look like this. I reworked it with the colors of the South African flag and I'm pretty happy about how it came out. I think the white is a bit understated but since I decided on a white background I didn't want to lose the chance to lose some of the more vibrant colors. I tried out using the South African flag as a background but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Maybe when I'm a little bit better at this it won't be a problem, but at this point the white was a better choice. I certainly appreciate the work it takes to do some of the more commercial photography and editing but it was a lot of fun. Give me some feedback.

i thought it was a real ad too - impressive! you should put up your business card here somewhere!
I've temporarily dodged the techno police and can finally look at this. Too cool! I'll share with Marty/Chris tonight. Anxious to seewhat you do next!
Matt, we had no idea you had so much photographic talent too. We look forward to an enormous coffeetable book of your bird images someday!
