SPRING

The beautiful warmth of the afternoon sun, that warmed my face and

renewed my soul, seemed to have the same effect on the tightly curled

Maple Leaves;......this morning, they proudly danced in the breeze as if to

welcome, yet another Spring Season.....comments welcomed and very

much appreciated.

you have captured the detail and the spring sun so beautifully my dear friend, i even felt the soft breeze..... wonderful composition, congrats.

Thankyou so much for your kind and enthusiastic comment...enjoy the 'breeze'...this season is never long enough!!! cheers, Gail

Gail, it is a very evocative image! Beautifully done. Warm regards.

Lovely and a great depiction of spring and the new growth! The lighting is beautiful I like how the leaves because of the light have an almost transparent feel to them. Glad to see spring is moving right along for you :) Wonderful presentation as always Gail my friend! Take care, Leslie

Fantastic composition and colors.

Thankyou once again for your enthusiastic support and words.....coming from one so talented and experienced in Photography...it truly means so much...sincerely, Gail

Hey girl.....I took this one later in the afternoon.....and expressly sought to have the sun behind the leaves.....which are almost transparent....and being so new...they have that wonderful supple feel about them....this was a much larger image, and almost went that route...but when I honed in and considered a tighter crop...I thought it just may work....and I think it did....thankyou 'girlfriend'.....for always being a great critic and support....sincerely, Gail

Thankyou again, for taking the time to 'visit' and drop a few encouraging words...it is sincerely appreciated.....merci.......Gail

Beautiful capture!

Thankyou so much for your 'visit', time, and critique! much appreciated..! Gail

Great focus on this single leaf, which looks almost transparent, the whole production is very well presented by you...Nice work Gail....Regards

Thankyou so much for your always welcome 'words' shared..but especially for those that are inspiring and encouraging....they truly mean so much....many thanks..Gail

Nice colours and details. Kind regards.

Thanks again Jose for your time and support....very much appreciated.....Gail

Fabulous image Gail! You have a real talent for this sort of creative framing. I can barely manage a plain jane frame let alone something this excellent. An excellent capture wrapped up in a pretty package. Great work Gail.

All the best,

Neil

Thank you very much.....in my first job I worked in a firm in Toronto where I was a 'Word Processor'/Secretary....but we had a Graphics Company, Interior Decorating Company, Marketing, Word Processing Company.....(sold Bank Charters & we did everything from Bookeeping to Designing your Letterhead, Business Cards(if you bought a Bank Charter)....offices in London, Geneva, Milan, Hong Kong, Luxembourg, Paris, Barbados, Caymans.........was driven to work everyday in a Lincoln).....it was there that I discovered my 'art talents' were leaning very much towards Graphics.....(Iwas just a 'baby', 19 yrs...even worked in Paris, Geneva, Milan, Rome).....unfort. our Bank Mgr in London embezzled all our funds....but was a great first job & spoiled me for any other ).

 

When my children were 10 and 13, I worked was 'Sales Desk' in a printing firm....exposure to a lot of design, and designing for Customers came into play a bit.... then owning a ''Limited Edition Print" Gallery out of our home for awhile....had me constantly envolved in arranging Custom Framing for clients...so I guess I've had my 'toes dangling in the stream' for a bit of my life. Its too bad I hadn't gotten into Photography way back then...who knows how accomplished I might be now. But 'there is a time for all things...." thanks again...for the kind words and encouragement!.....Gail
