Radiance
or also known as ‘I always knew I was special’, or ‘you can bow down now’, LOL!
Still on the dam, in a moment of calm. A little bit more playing in Photoshop.
Her Highness just gave me her own opinion of this image – ‘It’s dumb, I like the other one’, LOL! And after I’d been so nice about her drawings too…! :)

The white shape almost looks like an Angel – and angels are not really my thing, but it all works beautifully. She is very sweet.

Robert Knapman, 4 months ago
Oh…wonderful Damian. Really caught my eye-as if she is rising of the earth – in fact I wonder how it would look wouthout any terra firma. Beautiful imagery.
Damian in reply to Lisadee’s comment, 4 months ago
LOL, nor mine really :)
I had started just wanting to add some more atmosphere to the clouds, and it started to go that way, so I ran with it :)

Well, I think you should congratulate yourself, and “Her Highness” for being such a gorgeous model. While I don’t agree with her that “it’s dumb…”, it’s great that she at least has an opinion in creative matters! In my humble opinion though, I think this as fantastic. I really love the way it justifiably glorifies someone so important in your life.
Kym Breeze, 4 months ago
Way cool, and yes can hear her highness saying just that lol…..this is a great image, glad to see you playing with the camera and photo shop….hi to all, -:) xx

godsend i think…beautiful,really beautiful shot…
JaneAParis, 4 months ago
It all goes together so well, the background, the subject, and the ground (which I like). It makes it look like she just descended from the heavens to grant us the grace of her beauty and wisdom, a little angel. I agree the background light does look very angelic. Simply wonderous. Smiles from Jane.
Amanda Hammock, 4 months ago
See what happens when you play fair! Lol I love the lighting with this, it is a remembrance that they are indeed heaven sent. (With a little hell bound. ;) )
darkestartist, 4 months ago
i thought i was the only one with a diva but clearly you have one as well :) great capture, the light behind her is truly radiant and showcases her beauty.
Geir Floede, 4 months ago
What a very artistic pic. I like the way you a have placed the girl under the sun. Just like a spot on the scene. I am empressed.
Damian in reply to Elaine van Dyk’s comment, 4 months ago
LOL, thanks Whirli :)
I don’t quite agree with her either, but she won’t retract her opinion, heheh! And she’s quite the drawer, so has a good opinion on creative things, definately!
Damian in reply to Kym Breeze’s comment, 4 months ago
Haha, thanks Kym! But she’d sweet, she appologised in case she’d hurt my feelings, LOL!
I tried to catch up with some photo stuff I wanted to do, but got distracted instead (what’s new?!) :)

Damian in reply to JaneAParis’s comment, 4 months ago
Thanks Jane, haha, a little angel :)
I offered to give her angel wings and a halo, but she opted out :)
Damian in reply to Amanda Hammock’s comment, 4 months ago
Heheh Amanda! Yes, playing fair with your kids usually means losing without letting them think you are! And a good dose of heaven and hell rolled together (more heaven lately, which is nice…!)
Damian in reply to darkestartist’s comment, 4 months ago
I’m sure there must be a lot of little diva’s running around out there, LOL! Thanks, and glad you like it :)
