Beautiful images Ron! I especially like the ones of the dove (?) with the blue eye makeup matching the background.

Thanks Jim for viewing and your comments...the backgrounds are certainly one area that I would like to do more experimenting with...I've been looking at backgrounds on some of my photos as well as others here on the forum...the task will be to see if I can recreate some of these that I really like...
