~Rainy Days and Mondays~

Ah! thats a wonderful composition and the treatment is superb

Cool socks!

I LOVE this one ~ the richness, depth, old feel, cosy striped socks and those dusty old books that actually have dust jackets!! What wonderful texture too … Heck, I love everything about it!!!! Well done :o)

You are inspiring, to take an idea and create an image like this is pure talent, this is true art!

“It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.”
David Bailey

just gorgeous Toni – the tones are brilliant and another wonderful concept – wish i could come up with images like this on a rainy day :)

Toni, I really love the way you`ve processed this… has an almost magical, Harry Potter like vibe. Proves also that rainy days suit you and I live in a country that gets rain about 360 days a year and I don`t get inspiration like this. Boring books, gorgeous socks, cool title… nice work!

OMG it had to be socks!!! LOL

What a wonderful story you’re telling here Miss artist extraordinaire!

Stunning work Toni (sorry I haven’t commented on your work recently), I really have been missing out on some crackers. I love the scratched effect on this and the light is stunning, really brings everything out.

this is a great concept and composition toni…it reminds me of my wife. she loves books, candles, and wine. i think she even has the same pair of glasses…lol. anyway, this is really well done. i love the warm feeling you created.

I think this is one o your best Ms TL!!!!!! I love the warmth and tones and just every thing is perfect, and I love the socks LOL! Brilliant work!!
