Angels need sleep too!

OK, football (Euro 2008) is on & I HATE footie, so I have been experimenting with my photo softwear again!

Why are kids so cute when sleeping?

    We’d been at an aqua park all day and she fell asleep on the sofa when we got home! But lying on a pink towel with a blue and yellow throw over the sofa, ruined the angelic look you get with sleeping kids! Why aren’t kids always so angelic?! Thanks for your kind comments.

    Lovely girl, lovely picture, absolutely angelic (aren’t they all angels when they sleep…)

  • Squealia replied

    Thanks Michael, yes when asleep!!!! Not necessarily so angelic when awake!!!

  • photosbylefty

    photosbylefty

    this is just stuning, love the effects youm have applied, she looks very angelic!

  • Squealia replied

    Thank you John, so kind. :)) I extracted her and stuck her on some smudged up sky! I need to get some better and bigger sky shots so that I can re-do this and “the sky’s the limit” so that the overall image is bigger. The trouble is a) It’s not that cloudy here at the moment! b) I am not sure I have ever seen the real spectrum of coloured skies you get in some places. But when it is next cloudy I’ll be out there trying to capture something spectacular! Thanks again.

    MichaelBr

    You tell me.. Its a fight to get them going in the morning and to get them to bed at night – well forget it its all about visual art here not about the invisible art of parenting

  • Squealia replied

    LOL they are all the same!!!! And yes we’ll forget the parenting bit!

  • MichaelBr

    MichaelBr

    I think a polerizing filter could help to get better skies

  • Squealia replied

    Thank you so much, I need all the advice I can get, I am new to all this. ;~)

    Powerful and creative masterpiece.
    This is a well thought out and beautifully created piece of art.. The psoitioning of the child, and the background make this a favorite.

    If you have spare time, please visit my charity mission website at:

  • Squealia replied

    Trevor, inspiring work….. that really is extreme poverty…. have you thought about creating a book to sell. Other artists do on here, I am not too sure how it works, but I think you create it online, then add a link to your mission website and to all your pictures, profile etc on here….... It would hopefully bring you some much needed cash. Anyway if you have some spare time the website is http://www.blurb.com/

    Lovely shot, very romantic and soft—should really sell!

  • Squealia replied

    Unfortunately it’s too small to sell :O( I only had a small piece of sky, that colour, so had to make the image smaller, plus the image wasn’t huge anyway, as it was an old Fuji Finepix camera with less pixels, which I also cropped a bit! Thanking you for all your comments :O)
