Tranquility

I wasn't quite sure the Category. I didn't Digitally Alter the Rose, I

applied an Opaque Mat and a Scrolled Overlay to the Image. But I

suppose it Alters the clarity of the Image for the viewer. So here I

am. The Title describes the feeling that overcomes me when I am

taking these Photos. There is a Peace I do not find during any other

time of the day other than Prayer or Meditation. Somehow I feel a

sense of 'wholeness' even if for those few moments, and it is worth it,

even for such a short time. I do not come away exhausted from a

Session of shooting perhaps a few hundred shots, with the hopes of

a few decent images. I feel exhilerated and excited and calm at the

same time. Perhaps it is 'communing with nature' or 'connecting with

Creation'. All I know is that there is 'beauty' within 'Grace's Garden'

and these beauties didn't appear all by themselves. (Thankyou for

dropping by, sincerely, Gail)

Really beautiful creative work again with impressive lighting and details, Gail!

With best regards, 

Ruud.

Beautiful tone...   regards.

Every petal is a work of art, grace and magic. Lovely photo.  Mari

wonderful image, very nice detail. Regards, Bob

The image is beautiful and as Mari say everypetal is a fantastic creation! The most important part of your presentations are your fascinating prose, which lift my spirit and conects with the creator.  You have the talent to express authentic feeling in a wonderful way my friend. Love and Light to you.

Here,we have a great shot that indicated well colours and well details...Every petals have a story for itself and the tones are concentrated in the center and this is very well.The frame is a nice thing that you added into your shot and the title fitted perfect to your shot,too.Thnx alot for taking and sharing!...Best regards(Bobby).

Another beautiful presentation Gail. Well done.

Nice capture A+++++++++....Best Regards, KA

Another fine design and the use of the lace around the edge sets this image off so nice.. I know I tell you this so often but as you know I come to your site for the inspiration and that feelign of just visting a very dear friend.. On the comments to the uploads you are right some done a while ago but had removed them for one reason on another I get weary I think so just dump them then they re-surface with a little revision that makes them more to my liking... Now I am in a rut of shooting more realistic shots and less on the design will move back to design soon though... Keep doing your great work and know that I follow it always... MJ

This has a beautiful traditional lacy and delicate kind of quality that reminds me very much of a Mothers Day card, I can almost imagine that its scented too and with a beautiful calligraphic verse inside.

Very proffesional and authentic Gail.

Best Regards

Alf
