Just soo... artistic! When I was studying painting, I would have loved to be able to have produced this sort of image in watercolors - and here you have done it with a camera; One of the reasons I gave up painting - It can be done I think better with digital retouching - but I am still learning how.

Lovely shot - most envious! - If you make this available big, I will buy one ( or Maybe two)

On his own

Seeing your other shots to arrive at this, I am so impressed with what you have done to it. I am cheered to think that I may be able to rescue some shots I thought were not maybe worth the effort.

Beautiful image - well worth the freeze you had to get it!

Raining Feathers

Beautiful shot - I immediately pictured it with a white kitten trying to catch falling feathers - now there would be another lovely shot too - you have captured a lovely range of gentle tones from near white to mid/darker gray, and how delightful an image -very well done

Oh, my! I think Heavenly Father knew you needed just the right weather, and here it is!

I have seen professionally taken shots from explorers which were not as good as this - what wonderful scenery! I am a bit surprised that you got such a shot on an ixus - I must revise my opinions!

Very lovely shot - you must have laboured hard to get to this point, but it was well worth it.

I would love to see others from the days photos, if there is any chance!

Eternal Friendship

Beautiful tones, and I particularly like the camera hanging from the cross - like the cowboy photographer has shot his last, (at least in mortality) and the horse is paying his respects to the man - really good shot with a touch of lightness even in a serious shot

keep taking those special pictures!

Maple in Tree Minor

A choice photo - very much together. He looks like that was a sour note, or he had been dating the bride and she dumped him - like the sepia treatment, and the rich color of the cello, contrasting somehow with the creation behind him - one a divine one, the other inspired music inspired by divine promptings? Very nice combination - it could be he had a touch of indigestion, or a late night

I like the differential focus too-concentrates on him

Very nice, as are so many of your shots, and the border is the finishing touch here

keep clicking!

Lighthouse Drama
by Drake

Comment:
This is one of the most unusual photos I have ever seen - and I have seen a lot. Somehow, conditions have just come together, broad light, frost and ice rounding the contours of things, the layers of ice, the smoothness and lack of micro detail, to craft a visual impression that this is actually a model, perhaps no taller than about 12 inches. However, the sea is made of tiny droplets, too small for a model, so that seeing this gives me a strange feeling of unreality - My mind finds it hard to accept that I am not looking at a model superimposed on a real seascape. As we can't see a very detailed full file image of the photo on this website, there is nothing I can do to lessen the strangeness of it.

However, a lovely photo, whatever fortuitous combination of light and time got you there to capture it - and if it ever goes large, as it were, or you feel like showing a snippet at original size, where sea meets building - I would be most grateful if you could put it in answer to this email - my mind just can't see the top of the lighthouse as anything but a model, and yet the sea is real - strange and unsettling feeling, when we are so used to fake things being so cleverly designed to suggest they are real, and yet here is a real scene cunningly pretending to be fake - if only the lighthouse keeper had been up on the lighthouse itself, or had been standing in the doorway below. Very well taken, and congratulations - I would love to see any more taken at the same location perhaps that day or in different light or weather conditions - please?

Very nice shot - I am unsure where the reference comes from about... 'and in that field', etc, but the image is good. A bit like a fallen angel concept?

Last Train to Clarksville...

Gosh, very Horror Movie - that tutorial obviously added finishing touches to an already creative mind - I don't know what you do for a living, but it should be this. A few rotting corpses would complete the ensemble - or even ghost images of some unfortunate street dwellers semi-transparent asleep - outer limits? Congratulations on being you and able to see this, and do it well
