Hello Bethany,
Would you be interested in doing an American bald eagle? Here is my image of one I took while on an eagle watch this January. I really like your work and think you could do a bang up job on this eagle. Let me know if you are interested.
I would absolutely love to draw the eagle, and that picture you showed me is so gorgeous. For a sketch I don't know if I would be able to use it, mainly because the eagle is so far in the distance that I can't see enough detail...my drawings usually don't do well unless I can see a great amount of detail in the original picture. :) I do love the picture though...it's just beautiful.
I have searched through every single one of the profiles offered, and there are about 3 images that I saw that I thought I would be very interested in sketching. And I am having a hard time deciding...lol
This Hot Air Balloon picture I thought might make a good sketch:
I really do like Konadors sheep. That is such an amazing photograph, but I have the same problem with it as I do with the eagle...I'd love to see one of the sheep closeup to see if I could maybe see enough detail to work with better.
Now, this picture is the one I will probably be going with...but I am still undecided. I love the lighting on this one and think it would make an amazing sketch.
:)
By the way, Bongo, you may be new to photography, but I wouldn't know it from looking at your photos! They are awesome!
After the desat challenge you are welcome to look at my desat entry as a possible candidate...I think it would work quite well, based on what I saw from your website. You have an amazing gift!!!! :o)
P.S. I forgot to mention that whichever picture I choose, when the picture is posted on my site, I will give credit to the photographer and a link to their site on that page. :) Just thought I needed to add that in case it wasn't understood. ;>)
hi Bethany - Having seen your work I doubt there would be many people who would not be honoured to have you sketch their photos. What a wonderful talent you have.....thankyou for sharing it with us :D
I just saw another one I think would make a great sketch...
This picture is so beautiful...I love how the flamingos (sp?) are forming a heart. Gorgeous. :)

Laurie, CONGRATULATIONS on winning with your entry! It is a beautiful photo, and I would love to draw it as well as the other photo that Sher9204 took. Do you think you could possibly send me a little bit bigger version of it through email? Maybe just like 1000 pixels wide...it doesn't have to be outrageously big or anything. ;-)
Thanks so much!

Will do...I'll get that to you today through email. Thanks!!!!!! :o)
You have an amazing talent to do those sketches. I don't know if any of mine would be good enough, but you are more than welcome to use any of them if they strike your fancy.
Thank you, Judy! :) I appreciate that...I will be sure to look through your portfolio too. :)
Ben, you are more than welcome to send me the larger image of the sheep. It may be a while before I am able to begin on it, but I just love that picture so much that I might just have to make time for it too eventually! lol :) It's such a cute picture. Thank you so much!
Just remembered that I had taken a lot of photos out of my portfolio, planning to add some new ones. Of course, right now you can't add anything to a portfolio.
I have been starting an album on my yahoo site of photos I want to add to my portfolio when I can. Here's the link to that if you have any interest in looking through them.
One difference we can all learn from is the artist's view.
Photographers differ from artists in that we take away, whereas artists leave out. In comparing the two views, I could see a lot more than when just seeing the single interpretation.
I finally got Laurie's picture done...I really don't think it turned out as well as I wanted it to, but I think it will do. :)
Just wanted to post a link!
