A touching visit with Poppy
My 8 year old son named my father although he never got to meet him. I was at the grave taking shots of my Granny’s flowers when the kids went to that stone and were mesmerized by it.. ironicly or not…........... It was my fathers. I did not want to remove my sons arm leaning down watching his little sister…
orton, redynamix hdr, layers, burned in edges and desaturated a bit. I can’t believe… I took the color out of the purple shirt! it just seemed to fit the image better.
A touching visit with Poppy belongs to the following groups:
Capturing Emotion, Childhood, Family Unlimited, Mood & Ambience - Strictly Photos and Sentara Group

Angel Perry replied
Thank you Nancy… You can only see the arm if you look close of my son.. He was leaned over watching his little sister.

Thank you Kelly.. I did not realize I captured it until I got home…knew right away I had to try to do something with it.

I felt this one at heart level when I viewed it….. together, a timely capture of a precious moment, and your clever processing has created a dreamlike connection between the moment and the past, generations unfolding, the living and the loved….
