I’m simply blown away and humbled by such effusive compliments.
Thank you…

aphoto4you, 4 months ago

well this is a truly stunning image…

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to aphoto4you’s comment, 4 months ago

It seems maybe I’m getting the hang of my new camera!
Very pleasing and reassuring to know, after grieving the loss of my not so old one …travel insurance claim.

Lovely shot!

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to peggywright’s comment, 4 months ago

Thank you…I don’t think I realised it fully until I began to receive such positive comments.

Beautiful natural photography! Extremely appealing

AllyL, 4 months ago

You matched the words and image beautifully! I love the light in this one – so soft and subtle

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to AllyL’s comment, 4 months ago

oh thank you so much…natural light always seem to be softer I think, and is one of my loves.
so humbling that you also gave feedback on my words/writing too.
So, a double thanks!

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to rossandcher’s comment, 4 months ago

I can’t believe how many people are finding it appealing.
Thank you…so easy to take such shots when they’re waiting outside you front door ~ or window in this case.

Very mysterious. Lovely!

Thank you Deanna. Such words and comments from you carry extra weight and importance. I really value your support more than I can say, (but I’ll try)!

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to DesImages’s comment, 4 months ago

When I saw it I simply couldn’t resist getting out my camera. I’m glad it paid off and that you among others can enjoy it.
Thank you for your generous compliments.

Beautiful shot Jan…love the mist of the morning :)

Jan Stead JEMp..., 4 months ago

Hi! Thanks…I can’t believe how many comments I’ve had on this one.
I just pointed the camera and shot; oh and a little work on photoshop, but not much.
But I just feel so blessed to live with this as the view out our family room window!
This was early morning about two days ago.

beautiful composure

Lefever, 4 months ago

this is magical. Dripping with dreams.

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Gary L. Suddath’s comment, 4 months ago

Thank you Gary. I try to be aware of composition when I take a shot, but it doesn’t always work. So I really value your observation and comment on this aspect.

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Lefever’s comment, 4 months ago

Dripping with dreams…what a wonderful phrase! Thank you. I love it and can absolutely see what you are saying. Helps me to see this shot in a whole new light and maybe answer the mystery (to me) of it’s appeal to others.

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to aethyr’s comment, 4 months ago

thanks…that’s what I thought at the time, which prompted me to quickly grab my camera to capture this beautiful moment…Just glad it actually worked and translates/communicates.

This is beautiful Jan. I love the lighting in it.

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to SharonD’s comment, 4 months ago

Thank you Sharon….it’s close to home for you too!

great use of trees framing this shot as you did, exposure is perfect

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Christopher Ewing’s comment, 4 months ago

Thanks Christopher…the framing was actually a tiny bit of an accident, but I noticed the arch as I was about to shoot it.

Gorgeous light and mist,beautiful capture

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Trudi ~’s comment, 3 months ago

Thank you so much. I truly value all your comments and support. It was a combination of the light and mist which caught my eye and resulted in the camera being grabbed to catch it before it disappeared.
I’m a great fan of both fog/mist and soft early morning or twilight light, so its great when a shot pays off.

: )

So glad you like it

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to C J Lewis’s comment, 3 months ago

Hi!
I just found I hadn’t replied to your comment on this now old shot of mine. And I want to say thank you for all your support and continued encouragement.
I think this particular shot caught me by surprise with the avalanche of comments it attracted…You were not the only ommitted commentator.

: )

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to lettie1957’s comment, 3 months ago

I’ve jsut submitted this shot to a few other groups and in the process reviewed the many comments I received on it. And I noticed I hadn’t replied to your lovely and encouraging affirmation.

Many thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

: )

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Mechellerene’s comment, 3 months ago

Hi
although this is now ancient history, I realised I didn’t reply directly to you, although you were the very first to comment on my shot. I recall your words simply blew me away. Until I read them I had no idea how this would be received or if it was any good.
My inner critic was very loud and busy then….silenced him (couldn’t be female!!!) a bit now.

So very many extremely belated thanks.

: )

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Debbie King’s comment, 3 months ago

Hi Debbie,
This is an extremely belated reply to thank you for your effusive comments on this little shot of mine. At the time I was unexpectedly innundated with comments to the extent that I was flat out replying to them all.
And I suspect reeling in overwhelmed surprise at the comments themselves.

Thank you so much. You played a significant role in growing my confidence with your marvellous affirmation.

: )

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to Globalphotos’s comment, 3 months ago

This must be one of the latest and slowest replies you have ever received for a comment you left on someone’s photo.
My apologies.
As I have just been saying to a number of others I missed in the avalanche which overwhelmed me at the time, I had trouble keeping up with the replies, and subsequently missed a few.

I was humbled and amazed by your kind words and find I still am on revisiting them.

Thank you.

My pleasure and you are more than welcome :)

Soooooo beautiful

Jan Stead JEMp... in reply to ANNETTE HAGGER’s comment, about 1 month ago

oh thank you Annette. I’m sooooo pleased you like it!
hehe…sorry. I couldn’t resist.

I’m amazed that lovely people like yourself are stumbling across this shot somewhere or other (as I uploaded it a while ago now) and, even more, are commenting on it!

This is very humbling indeed. I can’t tell you how much it means to me.

Very many thanks.
