Hand Picked

Just beautiful.. I can feel the warmth in this image. Sensational work Nancy! Love how you have handled the depth of field and tones… Just lovely!

Beautiful image. It leaves me with a question “How did you do that?”. Then I get lost again, just watching the girl have fun with the flowers. Your treatment of the colors is awesome.

i agree with ericb – i would love to know how you did this… the colours are soooooooo pretty, suits the photo perfectly!

Agree with Jessica, Nancy. Your work is so fine and inspiring.
Thank you :)

I agree, you work is fantastic.
lovely shot.

Wonderful, and its stirring something in me…....I need to think about this a bit, will get back to you…........xkc

I got it now…........
I have this story I tore out of a book once…......The Art of the Possible by Alexandra Stoddard.

It is about this little girl (she is 5) who lives in Long Island Sound, (you will know where that is) and she decides to start a garden club with her friends. So they climb this hill and pick daffodils then tie them up in bunches with pretty ribbon and go and sell them to the neighbours.

There is this old lady who watches them doing the picking and by the time they get to her house she has cookies and a drink for them. When she is older her mum tells her that the old lady actually owned the Daffodils…..that they were selling to her…......

She eventually goes into a nursing home and the girl goes to visit her with you guessed it daffordils cookies and a drink.

I so loved that story.

Just had to share.
