Sophie Shapiro replied
The importance here M is to have both sides of the brain working equally! Not to allow one to dominate the other. Balance....is required and that takes time, practice and commitment! Thank you, for your words of encouragement…I shall try harder!S

...what a wonderful guide to have,
again a very dramatic piece and very interesting manipulation.
it’s great to see you using these different editing techniques to bring out another creative side of you…thank you for sharing.
your wise words of wisdom help me through my day! ;-)
Sophie Shapiro replied
Aglaia, I must say, that it’s all this talent that’s one RB that has inspired me to take my old work out and experiment. Even my grandmother’s old photographs are coming back to life. One of your photo’s gave me the idea yesterday! So I thank you! You’re an inspirational lady!S
