La Toja - Semogue 2011 LE Finest Bristle 1 - Henkotsu Kamisori - Floid Blue

Great editing, Keith! Until recently I had never tried Floid Blue with La Toja, having always gone with the Spanish Floid Suave. I believe it goes exceptionally well!

Thanks David.

Floid Blue seems to be my go to after using La Toja. I might try out La Toja followed by the Floid Suave next time.

Thank you very much David. I do not know if I can make some decent photo black and white , but you can trust that I will try.

The most original pic posted this week! Bravissimo!

[Dr Dulcamara]

Mille grazie, Marco. I am happy that my pictures are appreciated. Take a look at the picture today, with the yo-yo's, if you want.

Very nice indeed! And yes, your shots are truly appreciated here in the B&B SOTD forum!

[Optometrist]

The SOTD has moved to an even higher level, IMO, with shots as ingenious as yours, Dr. Dulcamara. Where have you been hiding all this time?????

[Dr Dulcamara]

Thank you very much gentlemen. Next week I will try some old style black and white picture, to see if I get well.

Thank you, Marco and a magnificent shot from yourself to commence. The words "black & white" often come across as something dull, but they generally create some of the finest pics around, I believe. I really adore this format and the week is expected to bring us really outstanding pics...I know it!

[Optometrist]

Success, Dr. Dulcamara.....a pic without colour! And a mighty fine one it is too!
