Potted Palms in Terra Cotta (for GM)

Hi, Mel, thanks for the link of the photo you give me.

Yours is also another interesting display of light & shadows work.

This is a great pic, the shadows make it very interesting.

Nice pattern too and good choice of BW.

 

 

Thanks for visiting my 'To the Beach', and also for your comment. These shadows of yours are very interesting: it seems they are dancing. Regards.

I changed it into a sepia for you. Enjoy

This works very well for me...and I like Marco's sepia version...so glad to see that he can still see! This image just has a nice feel to it! juan

there is something very impressive about this arrangement compositionally i like the curve diagonaling almost from the bottom right to the kink left at the top of the edgy slant.

Juan With dedication to Marco's sight and healing, thanks for the inspiration. I'd be happy to tell you how much I love Ruggiero's eyes and his photographs, whether colorful, reflected, in sepia, or gray, any day! (in fact, these trees remind me of him, but much fuller, and I think, now I have a thing for photographing them !! - - we'll see!)

 

Richard, thanks for appreciating it also. The stark quality of the landscaping was nice and simple to the eye in color; I had the b/w film, and i love the sepia which i think is the treasure! if i were to watercolor it, it would be in tans and soft browns ~ maybe a parchlike, nifty printing would be attainable.

If I had this to print, dearest Mel, I would do so on matte fiber paper. Then I would partially bleach it and send it back to you to hand-colour to your heart's delight... (I suggest colour pencils if you've not done this before). The palms are truly wonderful and will look fantastic in dreamy, dusty shades.. Is that a tile roof I spy up there? Any more of that on the neg? Yumm...terracotta, too!

I'll check the other frames, to see what there was more or less of . . . - - and this long weekend, i want to be by my scanner, and putter at the 'puter to my heart's content ~ Thanks for sharing the vision!

A nice shot, Mel. The stark black with the shadows works very well. Makes for a great combination.

Thank you greatly, Barry !

Madam, I am here to say that I love your spirit!

 

Its lovely to have PN make you spend some time here: there would hardly be any other way for me to meet you :)

 

with warm regards,

 

Vi.

To meet you too, I agree, wholeheartedly, amazingly ~ and all this morning I have been working on a writing, encouraged by your splendid greeting and another scenery (he, he)

Thank you Very much

Dear Mel :)

 

you are a talent!!!

God bless you, Vi! :)

but i haven't even begun to praise you and your photography!

Oh, Mel, don't! In fact, criticize me instead! i'd be grateful :))

 

and, its a pleasure to meet you :)

I didn't see much to criticize ! and already made a few favorites, I'll let you know about. Your port is so well done! You make it look easy ! Glad to meet you too ~ and I know you are friends with you know who ! so i look forward to more chatting in the 'electronic wilderness' you eloquently described!

Mel :)

 

Thank you for your kind words about my porfolio. I actually had to reoganise it after a certain someone came in and said "I can't figure out whatcha all about, you have this, you have that, whatcha doing girl?" well, not exactly that way, but the meaning was similar.

 

So I spent a while reorganising. I am so glad it looks good now! :)

 

And, em... friends :) Yes, luckily, they are all over the place. Where do you come from and where are you now? :

Los Angeles, Los Angeles!, and you?

Oh, wow, what a place to be! Mel, do you feel special living there, or its like any other place?

 

I live in Europe at the moment. Right now I am in Brussels (and I am here truly often). I think I like it here, even though I like to deny it on a regular basis:)

Great question, Vi! I do feel special for several or many reasons. And I'm going to write more here in a little bit, but wanted to answer briefly first to let you know! I have been to Brussels, on a short vacation starting in Paris (my brother got lucky to stay there for a semester with his school). I kept the souvenir of the special fountain, the little boy 'spraying', if I remember correctly!! (and probably ate a waffle!)

Oh!... the famous Belgian "Manneken Pis"... :)) The symbol of Brussels :) Did you also see the full-size statue of it? Did you see the girl version statue? ;))

 

I think you should come to Europe again, I could show you some places around here... :) think about it! :)
