Thank you Jim for your very complimentary words............I do enjoy this type of creating and hope to combine some pieces with painting....time just does not permit it at the moment. For now, whenever I get the chance to just sit for a bit - I find it clears my mind...and I worry less...just for a bit...tnx again,Gail

I'm very glad you found this shot agreeable. Hopefullly you will find my new ones the same. sincerely Gail

For you to even rate me is heartwarming.....your photo with that wonderful lense.....I don't think I could even lift it! But more so - your amazing portfolio....visiting your portfolio often will surely teach me something. Thankyou kindly for your very kind critique. respectfully yours, Gail

First off I must say that I hope you got my email if not I must say a very very big thanks for giving me a new year on photo.net you are an amazing friend... Now to this really cool image... You know that I love horses so this I find very interesting I like the darkness and the mystic feel in this one... Very good work my friend...

 

All my best, Jill

Gail, excellent creative work. Your 'dark horse' is a winner by length, in horse -racing jargon.

I haven't checked my email yet but am so glad you got mine. Your are a dear freind and I know too well how long winter can be.....and it must be brutal when working on the farm. You need PN as an outlet....besides the fact that you are extremely talented.....thanks so much for your kind words on this comp Jill.....talk soon, Gail

You are so very kind dear Amal. Your words inspire and encourage.....a 'motto' that we could all use.....respectfully, Gail

Gail, others have already called this a masterpiece so it may be redundant to repeat that. But in terms of your creative mind and your ongoing mastery of technique, this is a beautiful image. I'm assuming this is an older image that you are reinterpreting and it sure is a worthwhile application of your talent.

I really like the mystery and feeling of an electrical storm that this conjures up in my mind. The Green/Blue/Black/Gold colour selection is a great choice And the solid dark almost double image against the brighter background is inspired. Having the horses body anchored in the lower left corner and then the head in the right third, to me, is a perfect placement.

Keep posting Gail, there are a lot of people who can now get inspiration from your work.

 

I guess I could have made my comments a bit shorter by just saying I really, really like this one.

 

All my best and my compliments, Bill

No problem....chat as long as you like! I will load up the original image so you can see what I started with....hang on.....

Still working at midnight??

someone has to do the 'night watch' !! I post when I can.......and sometimes I drift off while doing comments or answering ones......and while editing. My brother visited from Canmore this week to visit Mom and Dad....had a Birthday dinner for Mom Sunday as she will be in hospital on hers. Soon posting may be fewer and far between depending on how things go with her.......

 

I have taken the odd day off EVERYTHING and just sat and worked on photos....hurt an old 'war wound' in my back doing houseowork and lifting boxes...so decided to take it a bit easier at least one day a week..... G

My Dad had bought me a Fuji S5000....my very first SLR....did not know how it worked, and it is obvious by this photo, as I have not altered it a bit.....so it is really bad. It is the same horse that is in one of my other folders. This shot I've tried to fix but have the hardest time getting a 'green' color cast out of the fur.....Of course it was terribly underexposed.

\You both are so kind in your critiques............I enjoyed very much working on this image...taking it from basically nothing and ending up with a pleasing image to look at. sincerely, Gail

A masterly stroke indeed...wonderful piece of an art...very creative...love it...my best

I keep finding you everywhere......such a good friend......who always cheers me up......may thanks, Gail

One of your best, Gail. Congratulations for a fantastic creation.

Thanks so much for your kind compliments.....I truly enjoyed working on this one....very different for me, but you can't POST flowers all the time! Cheers, Gail
