whitetail floorplate

[Lee]

Still fiddling a little bit with this one but......it is getting close to finished. In other words I'm about where I will do more damage than good if I keep scratching.

I love the leaf/scroll. The whitetail buck is awesome and the transition from scene to scroll is exceptional. I am going to study this one carefully. Thanks for sharing.

Lee, I love the layering in the scrollwork. I really draws you in. Great job!

 

[beegee]

I love it! I love the depth and the shading. Classic, vintage look. This one goes in my archives.

Up There with the Best I've Seen

That is quite interesting to look at. There's a lot of depth in that scrollwork.

Oh, come on Lee...
Get us a better picture than that!
It looks good from what I can see but I know it has to look GREAT if the picture was better.

The scroll work is great, but I really like the foliage that fills in the negative space around the buck. Great work!

 

[BrianPowley]

Lee, Great stuff (as expected) and I'm guessing you did all of it with the Magnum.

(You really do miss farming, don't you?)

 

[Marcus Hunt]

Hi Lee, looks great but (much as it gauls me to do so) I have to agree with Rex about the picture I'm afraid.

 

[lesholmes]

An interesting aspect of the picture is that it looks better enlarged (Ctrl + in Internet Explorer).

 

[Sam]

Now THAT is some fine engraving. Your scroll just keeps getting better and better. I love the game scene, too. Better photo, please!

Good day Lee,
Good work i like the lay out, well done.

Cheers

I see one problem with it.

The owner's going to spend so much time looking at his gun he'll miss all the deer wandering past his stand.

 

[Lee]

There's a method to my madness. Besides the point that I am not a good photographer and so dumb with computers that I don't know much about sizing..... the real reason for putting up lousy photos is to hide the lack of refinement and flaws in the engraving. I have fooled some of you into thinking this is not too bad.

 

[Lee]

I'm retracting part of my previous statement. It's unlikely I've fooled anyone. It's much more likely that this is simply a very nice group of people conveying kind thoughts. Thank you. Some days are all fetch with no pat on the head. A pat on the head does everyone a bit of good. That is why I live close by my mother.

 

[fegarex]

Nevermind the excuses and disclaimers Lee.
Get us better pictures!

 

[FANCYGUN]

yeah Lee
Better pictures. This way when you ask me for a critique.you can't blame it on the pictures. Then maybe I wouldn't have told you to fix the nose and background so they don't blend too much. You could have blamed it on the picture. By the way.did you fix it? I can't tell from the rotten photo you posted. hehehehehehe

Lee, You have a lack of refinement in your engraving like Willy Wonka has a lack of chocolate at his factory.... Keep up the excellent work and please post more!

 

[Lee]

Is it possible some of you older fellows just need a pair of glasses? It looks fine to me. Oh, I forgot I had my optivisor on. Maybe this one is better.

 

[Lee]

Maybe that one wasn't better. When I go into edit what is the difference between resize and compress?
