Just beautiful!!! Perfect shot in every way. Love to be taught and learn from you.
Blair Wainman replied
Thank you Charlene!! I’m humbled and honored by your comments!! I am somewhat limited by my camera and by my immediate surroundings (not all bad though). I don’t have the freedom to practice other types of photography (landscape and architectural). So macrophotography is one that I do a lot of an I think practice makes for improvement. Luck is the final factor.

Just a brief hello, I just noticed your name on a friend’s site! You may not remember but we were on Majed’s site, Albumterrace together before he disolved it. I spent much time admiring your work there. I’ve stayed around webshots since and finally signed up on RB 3 weeks ago. It’s been wonderful, I love the quality of the images and artists here, as a matter of fact, kinda intimidating! Anyway, have a most wonderful day! Marita
Blair Wainman replied 24 days ago
Hey what a small world!! Yes, I remember you…you must have been on WS too! Welcome to RedBubble! I really love it here and I know you will too!! Don’t worry about the “intimidating” quality! It’s a great community here and you will grow just like me. Even so, mine are not nearly as good as so many others! But that doesn’t matter! It’s fun and you will fit in wonderfully! It won’t take long and you will be flying like the rest of us! Take you time and look around. I’ll send you a bubblemail and I’ll help you where I can!
