Hey Wendelyn,
Perhaps you have hit on the reason so few people liked the "Bewdley Jnr is in trouble" photo. The swans should be looking AT the camera instead of away from it. lol. I guess next time I better pay for more experienced swans. :) Yeah, I like that photo, that's why I uploaded it, but it's got terrible responses in terms of voting, I guess an artist has to be, at heart, satisfied with his or her own work regardless of what anyone else thinks. After all, the only person's opinion I sleep with is mine. :) Glad you liked it, I thought the pink in their feathers was really cool.

PS welcome to Caedes, only been serious here myself a few short weeks but it's a brilliantly well setup site.
I should read all the comments before I respond. lol. Thanks also for your positive response to the b@w moody image. Not my normal groove but it came out ok. :)
Mikel.
G'day Wendelyn,
Glad you liked Morning Veil so much, I wanted to get further round to the right and have the sun shining thru the branches completely but there was a stream in my way, grrr, so I had to make do with a partial veil but it still came out ok.
Mikel.
G'day Wendely,
I hope you got your breath back after viewing Gold Mist and Dew, wouldn't want you going blue in the face. :) Thanks for such a positive comment, much appreciated.
Mikel.
Lancaster eh? Must be one of those names that got used all over the states. The Lancaster for that flower was MA, near Concord. A swampy old bit of New England.
Mikel.
Ps glad you liked the night vision flower as well. :)
Someone else really needs to post something here, just to break up the monotony of my avatar. lol.
G'day Wendelyn,
Thanks for your recent comments on a couple of my photos. I'm glad you keep popping round to check them out and comment, your persistence is appreciated. :)
Mikel.
G'day Wendelyn,
Glad you liked the Glory of Rust. When I look at that piece and realise it's all metal I get images of some artistic blacksmith pounding away at glowing bars of iron to get all those curves and swirls. Must have been quite a job! There was a matching one on the opposing pillar, a lot of work for someone just to garnish the gates to the carpark. lol.
Mikel.
G'day Wendelyn,
Thanks for dropping by Beautiful Struggle . I loved how complex the branches looked and all the sinuous curves, the light of the sunset just made it all too easy. Glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to comment. :)
Peace,
Mikel.
Wendelyn, thank a lot again for your wonderful comments on my 'Zeeland Coast (19), Zeeland Bridge', 'Lonesome', 'Zeeland Countryside (35), Reflections' and 'Zeeland Countryside (36), Autumn in Zeeland' images. Your support is higly appreciated. Regards, Cornelius
G'day Wendelyn,
Glad you liked the Church photo, MASS is a very pretty place, the whole of New England is. Despite having spent a lot of time there the last few years I still don't have any decent photos of the famous New England Fall colours. Grrrrr. :)
Mikel.
Wendelyn, thanks again for your comment, this time on my 'Zeeland Countryside (38), Wetlands' image. Appreciate your support very much! Regards, Cornelius
G'day Wendelyn,
Glad you liked the colours in my latest photo, the sunset sky was often that kind of colour in that area, must be something to do with the local conditions.
Mikel.
Wendelyn, thanks again for your comment, this time of my 'Lake of Veere 1' image. As you are on my friends list now, I don't miss any of your new posts. As far as possible I will comment on them, like I do with the posts of my other Caedes-friends. To prevent that I'm sitting 24 hours a day behind my computer, I'm using the policy not to say any longer 'thank you' for any comment given by my Caedes-friends on my images. Hope you'll understand this and that it doesn't mean at all that I don't appreciate the given comment on my images. Oh, no, it's on the contrary. Regards Cornelius
G'day Wendelyn,
Yeah the Commonwealth Place shot does have some funky futuristic feel going on. Thanks for dropping by and commenting on my recent uploads. :)
Peace,
Mikel.
I personally use PhotoFiltre, not Photoshop, but both a great.
I'm sure there was a better way to do it, but to get the colo just on the child in "Bright Spot", I made everything around him B&W by making boxes (and eventually the more specific space around him) and then making those B&W.
Thanks Wendelyn for commenting on my unusual butterfly picture “Leaf”. It’s the first time I have seen this butterfly in the house so I don’t know anything about it.
G'day Wendelyn,
Galahs are pretty smart, most communal birds are, seems community living requires the ability to think about subtle things so communal birds are generally smarter than loner birds. Galahs pair off but live in large flocks, in captivity they make engaging pets but I'd prefer they were all flying free. :)
Peace,
Mikel.
ps About that distracting blue space. Lol. Here in Oz, the sky is blue and it's big and if we let that distract us we'd all keep walking into things. Glad you liked the colours all the same. :)
pps Glad you liked Simplicity. :)
G'day Wendelyn,
Some roos, the males, get pretty tall and they are super muscular but they generally avoid humans in the wild so they don't pose any kind of threat.
Mikel.
Aloha Wendelyn, Thank you for all your nice comments on my displays. I also liked 'soft lite' because the Sun was trying so hard to come thru the clouds and it kinda looks like 2 eyes with eye brows and a finger in one eye, maybe something got caught in it's eye's. Yep! I like it too.
Hey Wendelyn..thanks for commenting on "B&W Stream"...one of my favorite things to shoot is flowing water and you can really capture the flow by decreasing your shutter speed. If you use a tripod or manage to keep completely still, the water will be blurred and the rest of the image nice and clear. Try it out, it's a lot of fun!
