Paired for Life

My wedding anniversary is coming up, 28 years. Seems like

yesterday...

very nice shot! is it desaturated or c-41? I like the slight residue of the fog burning off.

Thanks, glad you like the shot, it is a digital that was desaturated. Glad you can see the whisp of fog. Resizing for PN tends to loose so much detail.

Beautiful anology, congratulations on both counts.

Many thanks CJ! Belated Happy New Year to you!

Beautiful composition and framing. I like the position of the swans in relation to the frame. Love the tone and the water circles with their reflections truly enhance the image.

 

Beautiful and congratulations, most importantly on your anniversary, lastly this beautiful image.

Marco, at first I didn't recognize your name, but when I checked your porfolio I realized I recognized your wonderful faces. I have admired them. My favorite is the lady in the hat looking over the paper. Wonderful expressions.

 

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It means a lot!

Beautiful image and great title, Regina....!

Thanks Brad! You are always a welcome visitor!

Lovely sepia tones you chose for your image. I love the way you incorporated the frame into your photo. It is very subtle and pretty. Swans are a very appropriate subject for your anniversary, they mate for life. Congradulations on the big day!

Thanks Kim! for the comments and the congrats!

This would make a very nice anniversary card! I like the tones.

Graceful image. Nice choice of tone. Lovely!

Very well done, Regina. They look almost airborne already in that airy space at the top of the frame.

 

Regina, I also saw your picture that won third place! (Of course, I saw it here when you first posted it.) I also see that you are just south of Raleigh. Nice part of the world.

 

I am over here just off I-85 in Salisbury, between the Brushy Mountains to the northwest and the Uwharries to the southeast. Further north and west are the big mountains (6000+ ft.), of course, but I am glad to be closer to "wilderness" of any kind for a change, including the low hills of the Uwharries.

 

Where is Leann?

Regina, very nice pair and I like the crop you took with them in the upper part of the frame.

Congratulation for the nice place in the contest! Pnina

Hey Lannie, I think Leann is in Morganton but not sure. That is west of here by about 3 hrs I think. We will have to get it from the horses mouth. I will look Salisbury up on the map to see where you are in relation to me. Ther must be a cool place we could all meet up and do some shooting someday. Leann and I were both at the Asheboro zoo on the same day and didn't even realize it last year.

 

Thanks for commenting Lannie, Kim, Chris, Prina. This one is near and dear to my heart.

Hi Regina, this image has a sense of timelessness about it. . so simple and so classic. . . congratulations on your anniversary . . .

A lovely thing to say, thanks Donna!

Beautiful

Sorry I missed this one when you first put it up, Regina! I love this shot ... not just because the subject is so elegant. But I love the gradation of tones from light to dark, top to bottom in the water ... because of the placement of the swan ... because of the slight reflection of the clouds in the water. Wonderful work!!

By the way ... Sondra Kicklighter and I were both on the Capitol Mall this morning taking pictures of the same people building the same snowman ... and we didn't realize it. (sigh....)
