Wood Carving or Basket Weaving - Just Can't Decide ?

What to do....they told me to pick out a 'craft' for 'down time'.....kinda liked

the carving....but then again, who can't always use

another 'basket'...case????

Cute image, lovely composition, well done Gail!

Wonderful capture and the presentation. Really artistic. Rgds.

Outstanding work! I really love the your use of sepia. It helps to dramatize the horse's lines and expression.

 

My compliments,

Many thanks for taking the time to jot a few lines of critique....most appreciated....This was actually a full size carving of a horse....fabulous work...behind it is an intricately carved wall unit...most are from Bali....& Michael, believe it or not.....didn't use Sepia on this at all.....that is the color of the horse...the mane is a bit darker...I think they use just enough stain to bring out the highlights etc...... I lightened it up in 'levels' a bit near top forehead where mane and ears meet. Thanks again, haven't been online for a few days.....had some 'family' business to take care of.....then we had thunderstorms this afternoon.....cheers, Gail

Hope you are fine Gail? This is such a great capture of this beutiful carved wooden horse. Excellent details in the wooden textures and a very nice sharp touch that shows all the nice details. Perfect light and,.. well it`s just a great photo! Take good care my dear friend and my warmest regards. Jannica

Thanks so much for your kind comment of critique....have not been online for a few days.....my son needed some help....no matter how old they are...they are still your "babies"...so we've been a bit busy with him...all is fine....thanks so much for asking...so nice..knowing there are those who miss you!!! many thanks good friend....Gail

Your camera skills are very good. I wanted to go back through your portfolio and refresh my mind with the works that you did that did not involve design but camera skills and again have to note they are really fine skills that are needed as you have to create the iconic designs you present. Cheers MJ

Much appreciation for going through my Portfolio...and seeing that I can also do some decent shots. There are times when I mess up.............some photos look okay in the LCD viewer....and then I load them on the computerandfind that they were not as sharp as I had hoped....thanks for being interested enough explore.....hopefully I will have many more decent shots that are not just digital alterations.....most sincerely, Gail
