Memories And Old Lace

What lovely words of critique Lester. I am truly humbled.

Sincere regards, Gail

My sincere thanks for your visit and lovely comment. I always enjoy hearing what you think about my compositions Garry.

Sincere thanks Mike for your comments, they always help me learn and know if I have done 'good' ;-) cheers my friend, Gail

Each of you have left such great words of critique. Your support and time taken to critique is much appreciated.

Sincere thanks, Gail

I will have to visit your Portfolio, I did not know you have limited Internet time, I hope things improve soon, I do appreciate you taking time out to leave such a lovely critique Jim. Your enthusiasum is much appreciated.

Creative colour, I like the texture that highlights the lace and give the image substance. There is an ageing patina that gives the picture a retro look without taking away the glow of youth.

Warm regards, Dimitris.

PS I don't think the word 'memories' is necessary on the composition it's self. 

I appreciate so much your visit and input given. Your time taken, and thoughts shared are always of value. I realize many do not like 'words' on images, I normally don't, but put one there in this case. I suppose I could have left it to put on when I printed the image for my daughter. Thankyou for your thoughts in that regard. ;-) all the best, Gail

Thankyou Alec for your visit. I have been enjoying your images from the Venice Mask Festival so much. What a lovely time to visit Venice.

Best always Alec, Gail

I like how this image presents the subject looking in on us with a reassuring smile. Well done Gail!

Thankyou for your visit Robert. My grandaughter's smile is a lovely one in this image. She is very comfortabel in front of the camera. Your support and time taken to comment is much appreciated. ;-) Gail

Very nice. Beautiful, moody, interesting. I like the composition too. I'm glad you showed the original image too. I wouldn't have recognized the dog with it.

Outstanding and memorable presentation!

A fantastic creation Gail!!!! Warm regards!!!!!

Both images really allow Shaelyn's beauty to shine.  As striking as the original may be, this image really wows me.  The window frame really highlights her face and Abbey's as well.  I love the antique appearance.

My best,

michael

I am so humbled by your lovely words of critique Michael. Thankyou for that compliment, and the encouragement that is so much a part of it.

Best always, Gail

many thanks to you both for taking the time to comment, I do appreciate your visits very much!

Hi there, I think many may have not recognized Abbey, she almost looks like a 'teddy bear' here. Thankyou for your visit and input Chuck, I appreciate it very much.

Gail, that's really extraordinary editing - wonderful image in the first place, but now it has also become mysterious and emotive. Very well done.

I think that is one of the most moving critiques I have received, my humble thanks, Gail
