Daydreams - (enlarge)

This composition contains several images and layers. I'm always

trying new ways to combine images and hope to someday really be

at ease with it all. Until then, I will continue to experiment and enjoy

learning the art of Layers. I find I learn something new each time I

set out to do a new composition. I hope you enjoy this one. (your

visits and thoughts shared have always been and will continue to be

appreciated, many thanks, Gail :)

You're so brilliant at your ability to put the right elements together for these composites.  I really love this one!

This is so funny, I was just sending you a note :) many thanks for those encouraging words.

Gail,

You are so creative and this is excellent post-processing.

This is a work of art, black and white gives the image an ageless feel that I love! The flower in the middle contributes to a delicate creativity of nature that send the message of acceptance that everything is the way it is, open show amazing beauty and dies! Everything passes and the secreat is to love what is! Fabulous presentation! Warm regards my friend.

Sincere thanks for your thoughts on this one, so glad you enjoyed it.

You have always been such a sensitive soul and your thoughts expressed on this composition tell me you have not changed Jorge.  While things do pass away, it is wonderful that we do have our memories so that we can think on  happy times that we have enjoyed. The flower may not always be there for us to see with our eyes, but we can think back on it in our mind. You do make a very good point to enjoy and be thankful for what we do have in the present. .....always be thankful!  :) best to you always, Gail

There is not doubt this is good, creative original. I would also say that a lot of hard work has gone into creating it. Was it worth it? Yes! Is it my thing? Probably not. What prompted me to comment on this is your own comment. '...be at ease with it all.' If you like it, why not be at ease with it all? 

Yes, you have an excellent point David. I should not be so unsure of myself. Thanks so much for the 'reality check' and kind advice.

Thanks again, Gail

Pretty collage with nice textures.

Always nice, elegant and clever compositions, my dear Gail.

Wonderful image that gives the viewer too much to look at. The whole composition is fantastic. Very well done, Gail!

Hi Gail,

  Beautiful creative b/w image with amazing processing.  Take care, Patsy

many thanks Patsy for your visit. I appreciate your input a lot.

Sincere thanks to each one for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I truly appreciate your input!

Encouragement from you is very appreciated - thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Sincere thanks Peter. Your encouragement means a lot.

Perhaps a happy childhood memory, perhaps a longing for a happy future. Daydreams, and what a great title for this, are something we all have and no one could have put it to together in an image the way you do Gail. Very pleasant to look at with the canvas like texture.

All the Best,  Holger

Sincere thanks for those heart felt words - I do appreciate your thoughts always. I hope you have a good weekend.  They have spoke of rain here....we had a wee thunderstorm and then it really poured - but ever so briefly. I pray that the U.S. is not hit badly today by Severe Weather as they feared on the news.
