Sunshiney Days - Dedicated to Patsy Dunn

This is a Digital Alteration where the main focus was on the

Sunflower image. I did not like the background, so I decided to

change it out. Yes it is still very cold, not much snow, but I decided to

work a bit with this sunflower. I know how much Patsy Dunn loves

Sunflowers and how much we all enjoy her sharing her sunflower

images with us. They cheer us up whenever we view them. Patsy

has been a good friend to me from the start here on PN. I'd like to

dedicate this one to her. I'm looking forward to more of her lovely

sunflowers in 2015! (any thoughts shared are always appreciated :)

A very inviting image. I love the colour and details. With regards.

A very nicely composed beautiful art work, Gail!

 

A touching dedication. Stunning light and excellent details lovely colours too!.

Wonderful composition Gail. Really like what you have done.  AJ

Abit of cheering up - that's what we need in wintertime! Very unusual approach with cartoonishlike treatment which helps a lot in telling the story. Thank you for sharing

Very nice work, love angle too. Regards.

I will also dedicate my next sunflower picture to Patsy!

 

Well done, Gail!

 

Best regards

Nice work. I like the background you chose for this. You combined the two photos in a way that they compliment each other and it doesn't look forced.

Hi Gail,

  Oh my, I am so honored that you would think of me.  Beautiful creative image with amazing lighting & details.  Thank you my friend you have made my day.  Into my favorites this one goes.  Take care, Patsy

Oh, my pleasure Patsy. I have been thinking of calling you one of these days to see how you are doing. I am sure you can't wait to see your 'favorite flowers' again. I know I am really looking forward to them this year. I do have some seeds, but they are old. I will try to plant them just the same, but will try to even get some plants this Spring!

I am sure Patsy will be just delighted!!! Many thanks for your kind words of encouragement Pierre!

I love the detail you have brought out in the leaf, a suitable subject to represent warmth and friendship and a great tribute to Patsy too! 

 

Very well done Gail!

Sunshine days indeed. I hope your recent troubles are now behind you and that we'll be treated to your wonderfully beautiful and creative images with regularity again. Best regards, Jack

It has been a wonderful week, full of good news re both my children and their families. The good thoughts and prayers of many have certainly been appreciated. When going through difficult times, I am learning that no matter what the day brings, to always be thankful for the positive outcome whether it is in plain sight or not. I appreciate so much your encouragement and appreciation of my Photo's and Artistic Endeavours. Many thanks Jack!

Many thanks for your encouraging comments Alf. This is more of an Artistic composition. The Sunflower is pretty much as was with minimal changes. I may use it again at a later date.

You are such an artist Gail!  Love the constrasted warm colours with a mix of green & black. TFS! 

Many thanks for stopping by and for those very encouraging words of critique!!

Hello my dear friend, coming back again to PN for this 2015 year! I found this beauty full of colors as well as a great tribute to friendship. Congratulations on this piece of art :)

Warmest regards,

LuDa

Someone dispended a healthy dose of fertilizer on the flowers to create a dynamic effect.

Very creative and beautiful composition ! I like the contrasting colors and the combination of shapes !

Best regards,
