My dear young friend or dear Grazvydas [this sounds a little like a Polish-Lithuanian female name: Grażyna],
First of all I feel honoured to welcome you here where you will find many great and impressive works of art in photography and what is more important where you will make lots of new friends !!!!
Secondly I wanted to tell you that your image [=first post] deserved 10/10 from me [and most probably I will not be alone].
Welcome and thanks for the great introduction !!!!!
Grazvydas-Thanks for stopping by at "In The Meadow". I actually did alter the image. It looks better than the original, but not in the way I intended. It's overall appearance deteriorated. Still, I appreciate your observations greatly. It's nice to get an honest opinion... indeed that's why I'm here. Ashley
Thank you for your comment on my photo "Icy Branches." I took the picture at Butchart Gardens in Victoria BC. It's a historical garden, which has many different sections to it. This was taken in the Japanese Gardens where they have lovely waterfalls and unique plants growing. It was a very cold day when I took the shot, which allowed that ice to form on the already growing branches,
Thank you very very much for your comments on my Land and Islands photo. It is the North West Highlands of Scotland and where my grandparents came from. It is favourite place for me and I like to go there a lot! Thanks again, Kate
"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
