I like this . . . I could reach out and grab that hand! Excellent.
DragonFlyer replied
Thanks Helen – I think that hand might like the feel of another person’s reaching out to it :)))

wow, i really love the 3d quality to it.
it really feels like your hand is reaching right out of the work.
fantastic ;-) xox
DragonFlyer replied
Thanks so much Aglaia! I hadn’t noticed on my screen a 3D quality – I must be better at processing than I realised LOL ;)))

BiographyofRed8
your right it does look better larger.. at first I had to look for a long time before the images started to blend together, it is interesting the extension of the reach of the persons hand, and the tension in the arm but then blended over making the figure look as though she is coming out of a swamp/foggy and mystical place.. wonderful work here
DragonFlyer replied
Thanks so much again BofRed – i always value your very thoughtful comments… Somehow it seems to me that the style of work I’m currently moving through seems to be much better suited to VERY large format images (LOTS bigger than possible at all on RB…) I don’t really know how it happened that way – sure wan’t intentionally planned or anything… I just think that the style of blending I’m using at the moment makes for extremely fine detail that shows up far better LARGE…
Thank you again for your visit

Wow! At first I thought it was the lips of a beautiful woman! Great shot!

(and – where do you get the little wiggly line from? I can’t seem to find one on my keyboard…)
K xx
a~m .
the wiggly line between my initials? – up on the far far top left left – right beside the No 1 key
there is a little ` and ~ key (i think in geek speak it’s called a tilda, but not sure LOL)
DragonFlyer replied
O thanks a~m! ~ I found it ~ cool ;)))
K xx

LOL… now it IS a code to make text smaller if you link two of them (without a space) to text which often happens in comments to me …
-> (am which drives people crazy sometimes!) LOL!!!DragonFlyer replied
LOL ;)))
transmute
It was me.
Really fine work. I like the dreamlike sensibility of this and the luminousity of the layered tones. It deserves to be on the HP, your pf is great.
DragonFlyer replied
Yep – I followed you up in the home page thread lol ….. Thank you so much for the honour! This super surprised me though, as I mentioned there, I felt I’d already had my fair share of home page recognition…
But – wonderful thank you – I am so honoured – your own work is so amazing I’m truly stunned you have even noticed mine :)))
