Finger Painting - (view larger)

One of the nicest frames I've seen here.  Terrific colors as a foil for him; he stands out, the background puts him in a delightful context.  Creative, cheerful, with depth

This composition is meant to be for a Sample Scrapbook Cover

Page in the 'Artistic Journey Of A Child' section of the book. It is one

example people can choose from. I have been attemting for some

time to put together a Scrapbook Portfolio that Friends and Family

(and theirs) can choose from for their Child's Scrapbook. I hope you

enjoy this composition. (any visits and comments are always much

appreciated, many thanks, Gail)

You were quick!!! thankyou for those kind and enthusiastic words of critique. I am always hesitant to post this type of work, many do not like to see letters etc on an image, but this is what Scrapbooks are all about, Photos of Childhood Journeys and Dreams. Your encouragement is much appreciated.

 

Sincere thanks, Gail

Really beautiful creative work again with very nice lighting and colours, Gail!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Very beautiful!!

Beautifull colors and a cute child, it's very appropriate for a children's scrapbook, I love the little hands on the "window".

Very nice, ulla

Beautiful work! Best, Tina

Thankyou for your visit and encouraging input, I am so glad you found merit in this composition.

Hi Gail,

Excellent use of the lens .Technically spot on !

This image is about Expression, and you did an excellent presentation here.

Best Regards,  Mike

The clarity and natural colors are very appealing. I also like the two rectangular panels. All the very best and thanks for your recent comments (6)

Very well conceived...i like how the framing adds to your concept...regards....David

Having young children you would understand what all this 'scrapbooking' interest is all about. Usually it's 'Mom's' who take care of this sort of thing, but more than often it's the Dad's that supply the images! Many thanks for your visit and input David.

Tony - many thanks for dropping by, I have been enjoying your latest images, but then again I always enjoy your work. One day I hope to excel in Landscape as you do!

Mike - Always good to hear my 'Professor' tell me I 'dune good'. ;-)

Ulla - I know how much you enjoy children and of course your 'constant craving' to excel in processing (seems we are much alike!!!) I hope to email you soon with more info, talk soon, Gail

beautiful ,eyes catching, image. all elements of the composition, colors, lights, volumes, works very well together. congrats

As a scrapbook cover it works nicely but at the same time I feel that the picture of the young artist could stand very well on its own. There's something about the tonality that I particularly like.
