| Dan Costello | I like the trees in winter. The branches seem to be reaching for something. The fog adds mystery to the scene. I could do without the house. | Alastair Cochrane | Pleased that it's just not Scotland that gets fog! I like the gradation from dark to light and might suggest darkening the base even more to increase the contrast further. |
| Mark Southard | The fog really does make this tree stand out..has a nice serene look to it. A little white border would even heighten the effect. |

| Sukumar | Nice iconic image of a foggy morning. A solitary figure might have added to the mood, but very evocative all the same. |

I was born in Argentina and in the late 1960s migrated to the hub of the 60s
movement - New York City. I was educated in private schools with a vision of becoming a medical doctor, but instead of entering a medical school,
my adventures took me down the road of computer engineering. My career was developed from the basics of presence/absence of electricity, through
software development, and finally management. I worked for the military, NASA and finally private industry. My interest has always being in all the art forms. My first passion was basic charcoal drawings, but in the late 60’s I picked up my 1st Kodak Instamatic Camera and the rest became history. My imagery not only developed my appreciation for the subjects I was capturing, but also developed my appreciation, eye and skill to work in developing my artistry with many media; that is when the real adventure started. |
| My soul mate, companion and best friend (my wife) and I started woodworking in the 80’s,
through the years expanding through metal work, ceramics, precious stone, gold, silver, stained glass, fused glass, and eventually back to
photography. Our 1st quality camera came in the early 80’s with the Canon AE1, in the 90’s the Canon Elan IIe found its way into our set of equipment,
we played with panoramic cameras, 3D cameras, underwater cameras and a multitude of video cameras, but none captured my interest as still
photography. Upon the birth of digital photography, and being in the computer industry, the future was not hard to envision; I knew technology
would evolve fast, so I patiently waited for technology to mature – our 1st digital camera was a Canon Power Shot G5, and currently we are using a Canon
T1i and 50D with various software packages. Coming full circle has enhanced my skill set and provided me with the opportunity to travel the road of
creativity and enjoy the multimedia world. I do not limit myself to any one technique or style; instead enjoy I the composition and evolution toward
that final product; innovation and experimentation are key elements in my tool box.
