Congratulations on another Blue! Your work is so wonderful and I really appreciate your sharing the setup and details of the shot - you have the patience of a saint, even if you have the vocabulary of a sailor! I probably would have given up after the first 50 shots! :-D. |

Thanks, Sandy. I know the final result seems so smooth and easy but I promise you I can't count the times I've also felt like the worlds worst snapshooter.

Was browsing through and just HAD to stop and leave a comment!! This is glorious, wonderful, and downright stunning! Makes me wonder if you sit around all day and look at things up close for long periods of time to see if you can get something interesting out of them or if they just fall into your creative "vision" :) I smell a ribbon. If it doesn't ribbon, it will be a shame. Simply beautiful! |
