2012, 2011, 2010 digital alterations Went To A Garden Party - (view larger)

Years ago I watched a movie and I believe it was called 'The Secret

Garden'.Two young children discovered it, I think beyond a Garden

Wall. (If anyone really knows, please refresh my memory). While

details escape me, it has always remained tucked away in my mind. I

remember thinking it wonderful to have such a place to go, that no

one else ever knew about, a bit of mystery and magic, and of course

full of beautiful flowers and perhaps lovely 'fairies' and firelight.

(thankyou for your vist, Gail)

Hi Gail,

This is one of the best photos from you. Great colours and composition. Excellent post processing. Congrats.

That is a lovely comment, full of encouragement and of course inspiration, that will help me to try even harder to learn these wonderful skills.

Respectfully yours, Gail

Almost an x-ray.  I like this approach a lot.  It's interesting without seeming overly contrived.

You've created an almost ethereal effect showing that flowers soon die off leaving only a memory ! Bill

Very lovely and romantic, Gail, great composition,  brava!  Mari

Your work recognizable even in the thumbnail level. Very appealing post processing and water coloring effect!
