Excelente trabajo tecnico,, luz , color y encuadre, un cordial saludo Ada Van, Te deseo una Feliz Navidad, y un buen Year 2006.

Thank you very much Julio for the great comment and your good wishes.

 

Many Greetings, Ada:~)

Gotta love Brugges! Again, the post processing is uniquely yours. The overall look has the dark, Tim Burton look to it. Well done. Merry Christmas, Ada. ^_^

Hi Wilson, great to see you and thanks for your great comment. I really don't know who Tim Burton is but I will look for his work on Internet. Sounds interesting.

 

I wish you a Merry Christmas too Wilson! Ada:~)

Ada, you never stop surprising us with your ability to create your 'dark visions'. In this one I find the mix of colours on the window the center of attention, almost hypnotic. It's a wonderful genial touch! Keep on with your creations; they're always a great source of inspiration for me. Warm greetings and I wish you a great year of 2006!

Hi Alex, so nice to see you again and to notice your enthusiasme because of my work!:) If it's up to me I will do nothing else as keeping me busy with this kind of jobs. I quess, that after you've done such a job yourself, you know how many time it takes and that's why my production of this creations is pretty law. But time after time it's a great to take up the challenge:)

 

Warm greetings back to you and my best wishes for a happy, peaceful and creative 2006! Ada:~)

Woouw, Ada, Are you illustrating the next Harry Potter ? heers Jana

I'm very glad that inspite of the creepy atmosphere you both had the nerve to visit this place;~) I'm glad you like my creation and as far as I'm concerned it can't be creepy enough, Bbbrrrr......

 

Warm greetings to both of you! Ada:~))

Very convincing night seen, Ada! The lighting looks greatand the moon is very well done. I like the detail you have achieved too.

Ada, PS is a wonderful tool, you achieved your goal, very nicely done.

Thank you very much for your enthusiast reactions. Your words really stimulate me to continue with this kind of PS work. Many greetings to all of you! Ada:~)

I was going to say also that it was a bit too dark, but after a better look it seems normaly dark for a view by night, and just what is necessary for give it a bit mystery. On the other hand, I don't understand very well what is on the luminous part. It looks like a mountain in the distance but I suppose it is clouds, but why are they so bright ? About the moon, I don't understand how it can be ahead of the clouds and what is this bright spot next to the moon ? May be I can't see what is really there, or maybe you would have to improve this part because I find it very distracting.

I just have read your biography and you answer to a question I wanted to ask you about to know if you where a parent or the whife of the photonet member Wim Ipenburg. Now I have the answer. I read also that you are a writer of short stories. When I see the images you make, can I suppose that you write fantastic stories ? I was also a science-fiction and fantastic stories writer when I was young, but with little success, except for a few stories which where published in reviews and a novel for children which won a prize in 1982. I have stoped story writing for long years now.

Dear Henri, thank you for your extensive comment. What concerns the 'moon'; I understand that it is the most obvisious conslusion to think that it is the moon. And in fact (in basis) it is our moon. But I've tried to change it into a kind of a unknown fantasy planet. To make sure that it looks integrated into the picture I've chosen to let the bright part of the planet at the left flow over into the sky. But after your remark I have studied that part in the picture again. And I admit that the brightness next to to planet is a bit overdone, not to mention disturbing. I'll restore it. Thank you very much for your honest critique, Henri.

 

Yes indeed Wim is my youngest brother, we are 6 years apart. But does he look so young that you think I could be his mother??? LOL

 

What concerns my stories. I actually write for my own pleasure, though I have started a couple of years ago to write a novel about a famous ancestor (Olivier van Noort, the first Dutchman who sailed around the world from 1598 till 1601), but a lack of time to do extensive reserch delays the whole project. It's easier to me to write a fairy tale. I've done that many often for my grandchildren and now they grow older I write a more realistic story for them now and then. My e-mails to some people seems to be stories in itself (if I may believe the reactions of the receivers). In the past I have written monthly columns for a local party newspaper. At the moment I don't have time to write much because my new photography hobby claims almost all my attention. Sometimes I write an article to the news paper (critical of the social structure). That is it. I've never won a prize just like you. That must be great! Though people many often tell me to send my work to a publisher, I'm not so very convinced of my writers talent that I dare to do that.

Perhaps a picture like this creates the impression that I'm a lover of SF, but I'm not a Harry Potter or a Lord of the Rings fan. I prefer historical novels; reality mixed with a dose of fantasy. So you see, actually my writing do amount to much.

 

I hope that all I have written to you is clear because the English language still forms an enormous obstable to me. Though I like it, writing the PN comments also costs me a lot of time.

 

Well Henri, I wish you and your family a great turn of the year and a very Happy and Healthy 2006!

 

Many greetings, Ada:~)

Thank you Ada, and sorry, I have used the word "parent" by mistake in the french sense of "any member of the familly", not in the restricted sense of "mother" or "father". I had to use the word "relativ". English language is also an obstacle for me, above all in the translation from french to english. Though, I have made a translation of the letters of Edgar Alan Poe from english to french (of which a little part only was published in 1995), but even though, I often need a good dictionnary. Anyway, I have perfectly understood all what you have said above. I am not a Harry Potter nor Lord of the Rings fan too. Frankly I don't think Harry Potter is a fantastic or a fairy tale, rather this is the denial of this. But I will not talk of this no longer, because this is not a subject of photography and the Lord of Photo.net will disintegrate us. Best wishes for 2006.

Dear Henri, I have restored the part in the area around the planet which you find pretty disturbing. I hope you'll like it better now.

 

 

Magical, Ada. Simply magical :)

Best regards and Happy New Year from Kenya!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm really glad that you like this one.

 

Warm regards from Holland and I wish you and yours all the best for 2006 too, Ada:~)

Another exceptional image. Very striking. Has all the mystery and elements of a Gothic horror novel. Wonderful work.
