After being widowed, I needed to find something new to occupy my mind. I chose photography. That turned into an obsession, compounded by my love of the artistic license provided by Photoshop and the many other artful programs that help us explore all the facets of turning a photo into art.

Lovely pov and very wisse words .. excellent work
Great composition, lighting is excellent, composition and depth of field spot on. A definite favourite for me (and I don’t have many)! Just love it.
Thanks Dusker and chijude for your kind words. I’m learning. I’ve also done it in black and white, so maybe I’ll see if they will put that up. It’s different but kind of interesting.
Hi Linda, this one is beautiful, lovely work!
Very beautiful image
Thanks so much. I’m pretty new to all this but working hard. Even a blind squirrel finds a nuts sometimes.
