There Are Some Things...

Thank you very very much for your encouragement Ove – it helps me a lot :)))

Thank you – that’s really great praise! Much appreciated :)))

Thank you so much Roy – this is really the direction I’m headed… but I’ve had to ‘leave’ a few images that are partially done for a bit as they are a little ‘hard’ for me to work on to the standard I want right now… but they will come! This is WONDERFUL encouragement and praise from you – thank you so very much :)))

Thank you LOTS Clare – this is the one where I started off trying to combine glass with feathers… (STUPID idea!!!) I think this is a more expressive and realistic way to go… ;)

O Colleen – I’ve been staring into my computer screen on PS every spare second I can get!!! Thank you for your lovely encouragement – but I’m obsessed :)))

thank you very much Jan – That’s what I aim for always – to try to convey some kind of emotion – or feeling… So I am very happy that it seems to work in that! Thank you very much for your encouragement :)))

Thank you very much :))

Wow – thanks Sylvia! This one took a bit of effort ;)

Thank you very much Thadeus :)))

Wow- thanks a lot :)))

Thank you lots – though I think I’ve still got a long way to go to do these as technically ‘well’ as I’d like… :)))

Thank you very much :)))

thank you very much :)))

thank you very very much! – this is a pretty new for of work for me after I got hooked on macros too :)))

And thank you so so much again!!! As the ‘portraits’ were photos taken in the first months after I got my camera, the ‘edited’ in the first weeks after getting Photoshop, I aam still now in the very very early stages of learning the techniques of ‘layering and blending’! I an teaching myself – and learning from others here on RB – but I only actually worked out how to even ‘place’ 2 images on top of each other about a month ago… then it took me ages again to even find there was an ‘opacity’ slider on the eraser… and I learnt through The Photographers’ Craft forums how to use the cloning tool and ‘curves’ just last week! I’m on a very steep learning curve – your wonderful response to my efforts is great encouragement that I’m headed in a worthwhile direction :)))

Thank you :)))

Thanks very much! And again for the fav :)))

Thank you so much! Especially for following up from a ‘challenge’ :)))

Thank you so much J! I think it’s a big game of ‘chance’ who gets ‘found’ for the Red Bubble features page (not the total ‘HomePage’ – the ART page… though I have to admit I’m really happy to have finally been ‘noticed’ for it! Really glad you like this image – it’s one of my earlier composites, when I was just starting to get the hang of how to lay images one on top of the other… I THINK it worked out ok :)))

Ooooh – that’s a SUPER hard way to feel – I’m sorry – very sorry… but that’s kind of the thing – like you say you NEED to see through it all – and NOTHING ever stays the same… all things change, that is life. Just sometimes it’s hard to see past the immediate ‘now’ – no matter how much we’d love to! Very glad you like this work – thank you for that :)))

Thank you so much Helen – I value you comments highly as I think your own work is so consistently outstanding :)))

Hang in there my friend -
Love and light -
