thanks so much, fred. Kind of you to stop by!

thanks so much, georgie! and for the get well wishes. Much appreciated!

thanks brian – I had to crop hard to get some simplicity out of the original but quite liked the way it came out. Thanks for watching!

thanks so much, vicki! very kind of you!

thanks, trish – so glad you like it!

thanks so much, kim – glad it appealed to you!

thanks so much felicity! and I’m feeling much better this morning, thanks

Hi eaphotography! so pleased you like this. I just cropped to get the blades of grass I liked and then put it through the filter gallery on Photoshop CS2. I stopped playing with alternatives when I got to the watercolour filter and saw it came out the way I had it in my head – as if done with a calligraphy pen..

ah, yes, there’s a very small window between being too ill to do anything and being well enough to go out and take new photos – in which to revisit rejects! I might try to find another one or two today – feeling bit better again. So glad you liked this one, stan

thanks, justart – glad you liked this one!

thanks so much, emma! hope you are going well

very high praise! thanks harry, from grasshopper

thanks, helene – a bit of an experiment but I was pleased with the effect

so glad you like it, alex. A bit of an experiment with an old photo as I haven’t been able to get out for weeks because of this flu.

thanks tania! glad this one caught your eye

so pleased you like this, jan. I think it’s more just cropping than anything else but starting with an image sharp enough to take it. Thanks also for your eagle eye on the High Kep tag – a lesser-known, unconventional treatment!

thanks, anthony! glad this one caught your eye

thanks so much, gemynd, for this lovely comment

what a fabulously generous comment, isa! thank you so much and for the fav – and I think two of your watchers must have spotted it and faved it too so I am triply grateful for al this attention for my lttle beach grasses!

thanks so much, cas, and for the fav! It’s an interesting experience being stuck in the house without the energy to take any new shots. I’m finding the occasional gem amongst the old ones but mostly it’s giving me a healthy respect for my initial cull decisions! Hope you are well.

thanks! profile’s been changed! lol! You’re keeping me honest, Te!

not that either of us would stoop to photo manipulation, eh? lol!

thank you rosa – this is another gem found amongst the rejects – at least I’ll know when I go back to work that there’s nothing left to find amongst them!
