dark blue day

Yes, it would have been a good photo anyway, but lent itself to some dramatic effects!!! thanks lisa

Love how you can nail a look – though I’m not really familiar with the American night look – maybe nothing like Arabian night?:) Hard to be a design dilettante – just normally paddle around & think, ‘Oh that reminds me of something!’ (with no idea what) – cheers Umbra!

Thankyou Joanne – now I’ve inspired you to go off in a completely new direction with your own water work!!! – Not. Yes, I think drama is a good way to describe this, too.

Much obliged Laurie, thankyou. Your own photography is looking pretty good.

Thankyou for enjoying and commenting, Antanas.

Thankyou Babbler, sky is still a beautiful blue, just darker.

Damn, I can only think of the lion, and that radio tower! That’s MGM and RKO – now what else is there? Does seem readymade for a tellydrama:)

‘Tis a bit. Maybe if there was a thunderstorm and eclipse at the same time it might look like this! Thankyu Prasad:)

Thankyou, missmoneypenny – love the name!

Thankyou Glenn – this photo was taken back in April when these clouds seemed to be around. We had the really hot March and then it cooled in April.. I don’t know, seemed to be a seasonal phenomenon. Certainly lent itself to some nice pics :)

Thankyou david for dropping by!

Yee-haa! Excitement – thankyou Cathleen!

Thankyou kentuckyblueman, love your portfolio.

Thankyou lareejc, I do feel as if I’m floating when I look at this..

dolphindancer (nice name) thankyou – nice shapes, but I keep looking at that little horizontal one in front that stands out against the blue.

How did I not reply to this? Thankyou Jennifer, beautiful I think it is:)

Thankyou velveteagle, it was a nice view already but I think the dark blue draws something more from it.

Thankyou torstar, the white lit bits are quite powerful, I think.

erk..sorry Karon for not replying earlier. Lovely comments, thankyou very much.

Wonderful daffodil, thankyou!

Thanks Irish, think this is one of my best.

Great thing to hear – thankyou Karen!

Thanks KazM, it looks watery coz it is! And the colour is lying a little, but it describes itself much better that way.

Thanks widged, not often we get days like this!

My thanks, Yusuf.

Thanks so much josie!

Thanks Gethin, I did play with this with other colours, but you’re right – it had to be dark and blue worked best.

Thanks Kaz, you must be one of the few to check my journal entry! The book did get finished – I bought 10! (only 50 published) And now…...... big gap waiting for something next. Meantime… doing painting, planning drawings, maintaining discipline to always have a couple of projects on the go at once and work at them consistently – (too easy to get blocked otherwise). Figure as long as I’m working, I will always have results – so yeah, just oiling the machine:))

Thankyou very much Kaz for being interested and being encouraging! Be back to prowl more of your of your site again soon.

Thankyou tereza – did as you said! That would be ‘All Seascapes’ group? (Had already fulfilled my quota which is why I didn’t submit – but – solved that now) Glad you like:)

Yes, the cloud build-up was unique that day, certainly worth enhancing with the darker blue. Thankyou IrishPix

Thanks Christian, just had a peek at your site and like the interesting and quirky approach to your work.

Thankyou Trudi, wonderful compliment!

Thanks karen, a good sign if a photo creates that reaction!

Thankyu Kristina:) for dropping in & liking

I could cry when I miss things – thankyou Mar for your welcome comment, sorry I’m late.

Thankyou Mark, I see you’re a gentle sort of lion:)

Blessings, Jane:)

Johan, pleased and honoured! Thankyou for faving…

Blue is a great colour for sure! Thankyou loiteke:)

That’s wonderful to hear, thankyou viba!

:))Thankyou Elenne!

Is that, jump in right now? because if you were calm and relaxed you wouldn’t want to jump at all, right? It actually would have been a long way to jump, because I think I took this shot either off a jetty or on a high embankment. Personally, I’d go with the relaxing rather than jumping:)) Thanku Vonnie!

Hi reflector, I’m aware I owe you a few good comments on work you’ve recently uploaded, and I’m trying to budget my time wisely to get more done! – so…. am getting round to it, cross my heart & hope to – well, not die exactly…
- Thankyou, this would have to be the best pic I have to date.

Think I spend 60% of my time commenting, and 30% doing. Anyway, retracing my activity moniter at the moment.

Oops – those figures.. wonder what I spend the other 10% of time doing? Oh yeah – correcting!!

Photography is very addictive – and a lot easier than spending hours working something up in Photoshop. Inevitable, I guess, to end up with that ratio of photos to other stuff. I liked your blurb, anyway:) Have yet to check out the complete reflector catacombs – but, am onto it;)

Thankyou for checking out my stuff, Steven, love the effects in your work.

Mar, this is your second time around! tee-hee. Other people have done the same – (your first comment is higher up) Thanks for seconds:)

Thanks Helene, love your fractals!

Thanks so much Honor, I love your travel photos. Sorry it’s taken me ages to get back to you!

‘Awesome’ is just fine! Thanks a bunch Ogre, sorry about the delay.

A BIG thankyou, Richard!

Thanks Andy – Have a nice Christmas!

Thankyou very much Ciaran :)

Yes, one of my favourites, and definitely ‘most viewed’. Thankyou Carol!

Much obliged Alan, thankyou for visiting:)

Thankyou so much linda:)

Thankyou!!!

Thankyou lorilee for enjoyment+!

Thankyou very much Daniel, and for fave – this is my most commented/faved work.

Thankyou lenzart, I agree the blue is what makes it – when I look back on the original shot, the clouds are impressive but it’s the dark colour in this manipulated version which supplies the mood.

Metallic look? Now that really is an original comment! Guess the water does look a bit like metal – thanks a heap Michael, I’m cheering you on for your 1,000 comment marathon and hoping you’re fit and stay cool for the finish line;)))

Crikey – did this feature and I didn’t know about it? This is my most commented-on picture Andrew. Many thanks for stopping by to comment!

Many thanks Jan, the blues are always cool!

Wow, comment overboard I reckon Adam, but I like it!

I like that. Thankyou solar..

Atmosphere with atmosphere – I like it! – thankyou ziko.

Now up to 2351 viewings! Pity is, my next contender down has received 223 viewings. Bit of a difference!

Thankyou, I like your description! No filter, just taken with a point and shoot, and the colour added in gimp. I had a fluoro version I added first, then finally came to my senses and posted this one.

Extreme thanks, George. – Sorry for a very late reply.
