Vibrant Fuscia

-- Patsy -- so glad you liked this one.....and enought to put in your favorites folder. I love fuscia's so much and every year there seems to be a new variety.....thank you for your visit and enthusiasium.....sincerely, Gail

 

-- Rashed-- You are always welcome to come and visit especially when you 'bear words as beautiful as flowers'...many thanks for your more than kind words Rashed......take care, Gail

 

--Birte--They are a flower that does need tending to....one home we had ....our Art Gallery was out of the front of our home...and one summer I had the front archway full of colorful fuscia/ a few hanging and in stands.....it was just lovely. But I did find that the petals stained the cement porch quite easily.

 

During that time.....I enjoyed gardening much more than I do now....(my back that is)....I loved quiet summer evenings when I would go and tend to all the hanging baskets--.I found it so relaxing....but that was much before the Photography bug bit me. Now I love to waunder among them at nurseries and private gardens and photograph them.....and it in of itself is also a form of 'therapy' for the mind.....tnks so much for dropping in....I know you are very busy these days.....sincerely, Gail

Each of you have expressed in very kind words your appreciation of this photo....many thanks to each one, for taking the time to visit and leave a few words.....sincerely, Gail

--Alec-- I am surprised you don't have these flowers where you are....although...they are fussy....don't like a lot of heat....wind....the need a bit of sunlight...and you have to be so careful to keep their environment protected.....They kind of remind me of Jaslyn.....delicate, feminine, graceful, and so beautiful....hope the honeymooner's are doing well. Thank you for your visit and critique.

You both are so kind to comment and leave your enthusiastic words....on my page....it is much appreciated.....Warren...I'm not too sure of the name of this one either...I must start writing all this down on my excursions.....sincerely, Gail

Each one has left such welcome and appreciated critiques....Your time is always something I am thankful for...for many do not have time to comment.....thankyou or your support....sincerely, Gail.

I knew you would enjoy these flowers......their vibrant colors would be most attractive to you......their coloring reminds me very much of the colors you use in your photos......thanks Ed.....your time is appreciated....sincerely, Gail

I totally understand what you mean about the frame....I almost removed it, but it was in the early hours of the morning when I finally finsihed it...and was just too exhaused to really relish going back and adjusting. I may post the original so you can se how it looks on its own...tnks for dropping by....sincerely, Gail

You each expressed your appreciation of this shot..... thankyou each for taking the time to comment and make a 'tired girl' happy.......tnx so much....Gail

 

**Tom.....Odd....I was just thinking about you the other night......hadn't heard from you and I've neglected to remember to check out your portfolio to see what you've been up to.....so nice to hear form you.

I feel so much better now...that I've finally heard from you......it's been so long since you posted....you are excused if you were on a grade tropical holiday somewhere......I hope work hasn't been keeping you so busy that you cannot take any photos.....my Mom has been very ill.....will let you know how things are going.....hope your boys had a good Christmas....not to mention that cute dog of yours.....

Thank you so much for your lovley comments....and encouragement...you are such a good support for me....and always following my progress. At the moment life is busy....I'm far behind on my printing....esp shots of the grankids....plus my main thoughts are on my 'mom'........I'm having trouble just keeping up with my replies...and getting back to those so kind to comment....but I'd love to have some photos shown.....

 

The 'future' right now is all question marks..........and weighs heavy on my mind....my photos are the only thing truly keeping me partly 'sane'. But thank you for the ultimate complimate.....so kind ....so encouraging....sincerely, Gail

This is a so delicate flower and always a pleasure to see it,but is a long time to summer to have in my garden,now is very cold and winter is in power.Thank you for your support on my work and wonderful words that go deep in my soul.

Really beautiful work Gail. Wonderful presentation as usual!

Great pic Gail, very rich and vibrant colours. Great use of shallow DOF. Nice framing too. Well done.

Very excellent shot.Great idea.................Regards.

Thankyou for taking the time to commet and visit my 'page'.......I shall try to check yours out also...I learn much from others ...just by observing their work. Best regards , Gail

Thank you Tony for your critique....most kind to drop by and offer your thoughts..sincerely, Gail

It takes a lot of time and effort to post process a photo and come up with a lovely image such as this. Creativity definitely goes with it and this one has it all. Great photo, Gail and thanks for visiting my portfolio once more and leave inspiring comments to few of my images. Best regards! - Lester

Gail I am so impressed with this shot. You have gotten a great DOF and it is so crisp. I almost feel like I can smell it. Lovely.

I appreciate so much your insightful critique......in all the time taken...many "retrys" are inevitable. I'm looking at this image on a new

laptop that my husband gave me for Christmas.....I've done my best to callibrate it, but the colors are even more vibrant...actually too vibrant and it actually bothers me.

 

Makes me wonder what others see when they view our images.....but hopefully there is a happy medium. Your appreciation of this image comes with much understanding......which Iam thankful for. I'm not at the stage where I do great landscapes....but I truly hope with more experience with my camera..one day I'll reach my goal. Many thanks for you visit and critique....sincerely, Gail

 

Many thanks for your comments.....I know you're a very busy woman....plus your own photography to 'enjoy'......so nice to hear from you, sincerely, Gail
