This photo is hot! Share it!
Choosing one JPG member that inspires me is impossible. There are too many out there that inspire me everyday, and for (sometimes vastly) various reasons: Steve H., Photography Seven, Portia S, Jolinda, Tomas A, Hector O, Pilar CiG, Peggy Sue, Norman BC, Henk S, Aquiles, Jay S, Mark G, Jason P, Jessica H., Jean Pierre, Amy S, Glenn B, Nelson C, Jessie M just to name a few . . . as there are so many more. And each have their own subject matter they creatively and passionately display supremely well. So choosing a tribute to one is just impossible.
There are two who have been consistently and/or patiently supportive with feedback and guidance that I wish to highlight and thank with this latest photo: JEFFREY BOUCHER and SIMON LE.
If it weren't for Jeffrey, I wouldn't be on JPG. He introduced me to this site and has been a support from the beginning with comments and advice. He has inspired me to keep going when at times I've wanted to just bag it.
Simon Le has taught me new things - and I am an OLD dog who doesn't like learning new tricks. He has inspired me to learn.
Behind this photo - Jeffrey introduced me to this fabulous wine, and Simon taught me the aging effect I love so much. So, to Jeffrey and Simon - this is for you and THANK YOU.

I think this is a good presentation for an excellent wine - that's what I read about it, at least - (and I love the sepia, Nathalie)

Very cool composition Natalie, The bottle color does well with Simons technique. I am glad you were inspired by the both of us.
The photo is wonderful as well as the essay. I only wish I had the apple pie I took in trade for the Two hands. I can taste it now with my Starbucks.
Many props to your evolving photos. I think you have found your niche.
Well Done! -

Thanks Natalie. The photo is really beautiful and it looks like you have not only mastered the aging technique, but you are enjoying it as well! So I clink my wine class to yours and say "cheers" and look forward to getting to know you even better and to seeing more of your lovely work. Lovely photo and tribute. Nicely done my friend.
