Thank you jojo for running the last salon - good job well done. The theme for salon 45 is
PORTRAITS AND PEOPLE
Every photographer finds their favourite kind of photography and this is mine. I will be looking for captures of people/person of any age that portray an emotion that is unique to human nature. Laughter, anger, tears, joy etc... the choice is yours.
Closing date for this salon is 30th July, 22.00 (BST)
If you've never taken part in a salon before, why not take this challenge? - you could be holding a brand new 2GB Kingston Ultimate high-speed memory card in your hand for your efforts!
Good luck everyone

I prefer Elise as a Snow Fairy than in combat gear, but I am just old fashioned. She is gorgeous.
