Hi. I appreciate the wonderful comment of support on "Going Home." A personal favorite and for me anyway, difficult work, so I'm very pleased to hear you like it. ;)
Thanks for your words on Lurking Dangers! I didn't take the shot in a zoo, the description says that I took it from Stock Exchange and then I did some manipulation work, but when I go to Florida to visit family, I'm pretty sure, I can some of these myself! Thanks again!
Hey there :D
Thanks for stopping by *Kiss*...I'm so pleased you liked it!
In answer to your question: I created the entire thing in PS7...the background was comprised of stock images - which I manipulated - and the faeries were made using just the brush tools with some smudging and blurring to blend everything together - my tutorial for drawing faeries in PS can be found HERE Hope this helps!
Best wishes
" Im very impressed with your work. Im still tryingto draw it, following your instructions....but not got it yet..but Im keeping. Thanks for share your art!!!!"
Thankyou very much! :) It's so nice reading comments like yours!
Just remember, if you need any further help, just PM me and I'l do my best :]
Best wishes and good luck...
P.S. Your website is pretty impressive! Nice shots and great attention to detail with your site design!
A Photograph is more than a still image of the real, it is a doorway into the unreal, it allows you to see through the eyes of the photographer, and see how they see the life around them.
"Every heart that has beat
strong and cheerfully has left a
hopeful impulse behind it in the
world, and bettered the tradition
of mankind."- Robert Louis Stevenson
thanks for the post on the La Lune image - it was taken with a Canon EOS 20D camera fitted with a 100-400 L series lens coupled to a 2 x extender. I used a heavy duty manfrotto tripod and remote shutter release to avoid camera/lens shake.
Never give up. Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. ~~ Michael Jordan
Thanks for taking the time to view and leave the nice comments on my image. I'm glad that you found my Shell Point Sunset photo enjoyable. When I saw the little thatched umbrella and the tree I knew that this would be a nice framing for the coming sunset.

Thanks for your comment on "Tarnished Youth." Most of my photos have have a lot of personal meaning, but I wasn't sure if anyone else got it. Thank you for noticing!
I'm glad that you took the time to view and comment on my Mountain Stream Beauty image. Thank you Brix for the nice comments. I appreciate your support. I would have gone farther up stream but the large rock out cropping on the left stopped me. Your gallery has some very nice images. I'll try to take a closer look when I have time.

K, this might end up as a double post here, 'tings r actin up,' lol.
Thanks for your words on PurSpin. Movement is actually one of the main elements I will be working on to bring out and enhance. Oh, that and the colour gradient will change, too.
I just came from previewing your galleries and yeah, 'tings r actin up.' I viewed "It's Coming," thought I had left a comment ... well, we will see. Going back for another try before I call and complain to my ISP, lol. Later.

Thank you for your time and generous words on "medieval ruins in Ogrodzieniec" as well as on my other works. You cannot even imagine how much it means to me. I really appreciate your kind words very much. It is great to know that my effort is really worth it. I hope you will follow the ruin series cause there are still some shots to be uploaded. Stay tuned
You really made some excursion throughout my gallery. That's good. "Fall colour palette" - I am glad you found it interesting. This was a challenge. I spent almost an hour outdoors kneeling in front of the leaves composition. It must have been funny for every passerby.
Thanks Brix for your comment on "red leaf". I had it zoomed in farther on the first picture I had taken but decided the second one taken made the better wallpaper/desktop. Thanks again!
Hi. I'm pleased to hear from you on "Something in Red." I love red. Guess that's why I love that train of yours too. ;) I do appreciate you taking the time to visit that one.
Back again. Had a nice visit to your website tonight. Enjoyed the fun set-up and navigation. Also enjoyed looking at the work of course. Have to say my favorite image so far is the little boy with that red hat on in the special effects section. ;) Will try to get back there again for a closer look.
I just noticed you became most welcome guest in my gallery, so many nice words you have left. I feel a bit confused with your generous comments, lol. It seems you keep track of my images.
It feels great to know that someone appreciates my work and sacrifice (last weekend I spent the whole day wandering in search for some breathtaking landscapes to shoot and to tell you the truth it was terribly cold, even my father gave up fishing after two hours ;)
Yes, I have to agree with your suggestions as to the editing of some images. You see, at that time I did not use much of the photoshop except for the frames functionality, lol. Of course it wouldn't be the problem to work on the "oldies" but it would definitely require much time to improve them and reupload to the net. I am going to spend some time on reediting some of the photos but I have so many new shots to upload...
Once more many "thank yous" for your numerous kind comments. It seems you have also strong erudite skills.
I found a couple of your new comments to my works. I am excited! I would like to thank you in particular for your positive comment on "completely wet". Your words are even more precious to me than usual because the photo was not edited in the photoshop ar anything. That is why I am so glad you liked my wet colourful leaf in a puddle.
Hello - Thanks for visiting my "Bubbling Pool" - I was standing inbetween two hot pool on the official path. The great thing in New Zealand is that they are very relaxed about where you can go (ie. not too many fences) so allows a more natural experience.
Hello Brix,
to my big surprise I was elected to be the first Artist of the week, amazing but true.
And so I want to say thanks good friend, for your big support and posting such a nice comment!
Paul
I am glad you discovered my "smile trigger" and left me a nice comment. These cheerful leaves were so appealing I decided to share it with other fall lovers.
