I think I've been looking at Fibble's photos too much. :worried:

Hmm...working things backwards this way, you could probably use postage-due stamps (remember those?) and collect money with each letter you send. Is "Thing" Addams your model?

P.S. Are you collecting images to put in your free FM Gallery? [That's a prediction]

Man...have you captured Flibble?! I always thought he would end his days locked up...

Seriously good image, Strad. Oh yes. I predict great things... it's a winner in my book.

Thanks for the compliment, Jess. Does Fred award free FM Galleries? Hmmm... That is something to aspire to.

Unfortunately, "Thing" was not my model since he expired several years ago in a tragic accident involving a large jar of chunky peanut butter and a Shop-Vac. (I'll leave the messy details to your fertile imagination

) However, all will be revealed im my forthcoming reply to Christian, below.

All the best,
Endre

Great image Endre!

I was going to ask if you had been watching Addams Familt reruns, but I see the connection has already been made. Great use of selective color and fantastic execution.

Thanks, Suse. I always appreciate your kind words.

I tried getting Fibbs for this but sadly, he had already mailed himself elsewhere. I believe he was being sent Special Delivery to Gotsy's place. I'm not certain. Also, once he had extricated himself from that picture frame, he discovered that he was in very high demand for such tight-squeeze assignments. His price was out of reach. Consequently, I had to resort to more draconian measures to obtain my model.

All the best,

Endre

Thanks so much, Christian! I always enjoy your kind comments.

If you read my post to Suse, you'll see that at first I tried to interest Fibbs in modeling for this but, sadly, that was to no avail. So, instead I was forced to stuff my 15 year old daughter into the mailbox. Unfortunately, it was a rather tight squeeze and the resulting pressure on the lock from the inside has made it impossible for us to get her out. We're working on it...

It's just an example of the sacrifices we must make for our art.

All the best,

Endre

Thank you, Jane. I debated whether or not to desaturate the rest of the photo but I think this came out the way it ought to be. Glad you like it.
All the best,

Super image Endre.............I like the complexity of the image, the deail, vs. the simplicity of the color and monotone. How did you do the sepia, if i may ask??
Do I see a winner??

Thanks for the comments, Peter. You're altogether too kind.

I did the sepia using Gotsy's B & W technique from a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love the exquisite control one gets over the color and contrast. (Thanks again, Gotsy!

)
All the best,
Endre

Strad this is wonderful wonderful I DID think it was Flibble's when I was looking at the thumbnails.

Congrats on getting into the finals! Well deserved.

It is good to be back, and we have purchased a laptop card that hopefully will work as promised--i.e.get the internet pretty much anywhere. We will see...........................

Talk soon!

Thanks so much, Jane. I'd glad you and Robert are home safe and sound.

Congratulations to you, too, for getting into the finals!. Yours is well-deserved, as well.

I think Fibs has already mailed himself out of town. He mentioned that he was going postal.

Too bad, since both my photo and some of my commentary are rather Fibble-esque, if I do say so myself. He may miss seeing my homage to his genius.

All the best,

Endre
