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…! :)

    Another wonderful piece of work. I haven’t looked at your profile in a while. This one is beautiful! E.

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

  • Damian replied

    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 :)

    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 replied

    Thanks Robert, and what a cool idea, hadn’t thought of that :)

    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.

  • Damian replied

    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!

  • Kym Breeze

    Kym Breeze

    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

  • Damian replied

    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?!) :)

    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.

  • Damian replied

    Thanks Jane, haha, a little angel :)
    I offered to give her angel wings and a halo, but she opted out :)

    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. ;) )

  • Damian replied

    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…!)
