    Thank you

    Just a bit over 15 man hours on this one.... It had a clear bra that I did not polish or it would have taken a bit more time...

    Most of my work is based off of referrals.

    Thanks Piet!

    I am not sure what if anything was done to the pictures... I onoy took a smally handfull of them.. my photographer/assistant took the rest.

    Of course!

    If you are looking to try the dodo line but dont want to drop the coin for the supernatural I would say this is a good intro to dodo..BUT keep in mind, this is the only other dod product I have used other than SN

    Cool pictures, I need to experiment more with Photoshop. So far all I use it for is to put the borders...but I like how the colour seems to pop on the after pictures, looks good :thumb:

    oh by the way I love that blue colour on the M5's.

    Boy you have been busy haven't you :cheerl:
