Another Version...Soft and more Conservative

Lovely composition, dear Gail. Beautiful forms, colors and presentation. Excellent image. Congrats!

Totally different feel to this one I love the soft pastel colors. Really nice work Gail. :)

Wonderful presentation! Take care, Leslie

Thanks again for commenting on this one....yes, so many ways to 'disply' a photo..endless it seems...I kind of like the feel to this one also...much appreciation for your visit!.........Gail

This was a second version I did of a Photo.....tried for a more 'High Key'

look.....comments welcome

Lovely shot and elegant framing. Regards.

Very beautiful as usual!!!! Definitely a soft feeling to it!

Thankyou kindly for your time and words of critique....always nice to hear!! hope your weekend is going well...sincerely, Gail

Lovely! Best regards, Ilkka

Delightful, Gail! Lovely tones. Kind regards.

I find when someone takes the time to even write a few words...it is very encouraging,,,and for this I am very grateful....thankyou so much.....sincerely, Gail

I know I'm repeating myself...but can't help it...I just love your name....for me it is such a 'happy - uplifting name....like a 'song' ...wish one of my grankids had your name....but the only one left is my Son....then it gets into the 'Great Grandma....boundaries'.....not ready for that...I became a grandmother at 36(2nd husbands side)...that seemed early, but I love them when thy are 'snuggly babes'....

 

But I am suppossed to be getting a 'puppy' when we move???? would you be offended??? I loved my Hayley, she was such a love and good friend....it would be lovley having a 'new little friend' and calling her to come...or having her great me at the door........plus I'd think of you and all your wonderful images......YOU MUST THINK I'M CRAZY !!!!! I'd just never heard 'your name before'.........I'd be getting a little 'white snowball'...and she would be so pretty.....I do want anohter Bichon....

 

Back to this image, my apologies...having you visit and pass on a few encouraging words means so much ......and I thank you 'Anabela'.............stay safe in whatever part of the world you are in now......cheers,,,,,,your 'wacky' Canadian friend, Gail

I can´t say much more than you have done a teriffic work once again... Lovely soft and beautiful color and the composition is great...

 

All my best, Jill

What would I do without seeing your name frequent my 'pages'.......you have been very supportive of me...and such a 'friend'.....I"m sure there is a bunch of us that could truly have a good 'time' if we ever had the opportunity just to meet......not very probable but it would be a 'great time' and I'm sure we'd have some good laughs....and then get real serious and then go on a fun 'trek' to take some photos....the one thing that has brought us together......your comments are always appreciated Jill.....stay well and safe...Gail

Gail, I'm a dogs lover too and I used to have them. Unfortunately, since I start traveling for long term I can't enjoy their wonderful company anymore due to my friends have tired of to look after them.... I envy you having a new puppy and best wishes to your wonderfully named Bichon :-)) Friendly regards from Azores Islands (Portugal)

Very interesting shot...Beautiful gift for a friend!

 

Regards(Bobby).

beautiful, and very good treatment. regards.

Well I don't have my new 'puppy' yet.....my husband says I can't get one till we move....but that 'task' is taking much longer than hoped............I really want to have one 'trained' before the winter sets in......Thankyou for your 'good wishes'......It is unfortunate you cannot have a dog because of your travels.....there are some breeds that are perfect for 'treking the wilds'.......but I can see your point. But I'm sure all the wonderful new acquaintances you make .....must make up for that!

 

So you're in the Azores!!! Beautiful....Bichons actually originated in the Canaries.....we met a few couples from Britain when we did a 'time share' in Florida once...they must have been at least 75....but upon their return were going to go camping in the 'Canaries'....sounded like all they did was travel - "nomads.....gypsies.....just letting the 'wind take them wherever it wanted' ........that is the way to 'retire' I think...if you can afford it. Have a great time in the Azores!!! That location would be a 'far off dream for me' but 'we can always dream'.......sincerely and safe travels, Gail

Great idea bobby - I never thought of giving it as a gift......suddenly there are those who I know it would be perfect for......thankyou for your kind words. Hope your week is going well for you...sincerely, Gail

So glad to see your name of my page.....I imagined you'd taken a break for a bit....but see you have new images.....I guess the sunflowers don't come out really well till later in the season. Your kind words are much appreciated....sincerely, Gail

Pure beauty and a fantastic photo you are sharing with us Gail. You are getting better and better in you artistic creations. This is Fine Art and someone should pay a lot of money to you to hang this on their wall. Love the very soft light and sheer colors. Also the frame is very elegant. Take good care my friend and all the best from Jannica

I can't believe you said that....I'm stunned....but very 'blown away' Jannica. I wish we were closer....it would be so much easier to ask questions...but I just keep on studying books, whatever I can get my hands on....then I even start thinking about ways I can do things on my own...'invent'. But I want to improve...thankyou so much dear Jannica......I hope all is well with you, and yours....I think of you often....your kind remarks are much appreciated....sincerely, Gail
