Oh my goodness! I'm overwhelmed with the comments from you all on my post yesterday! thank you all sooooo much! It means more to me than I can say :)
I thought I would try another photograph of a rose, and when it was finished it reminded me of the old Hollywood stars photographs, a little dark and mysterious.
Thank you all once again, have a lovely weekend all :)
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
Wow Mary, another stunning image! Love the aged look to this one. Amazing tones. Gorgeous. :)

Another absolutely FABULOUS image Mary!!! I think this is the best of the two... Yep, it is!! Standing ovation!
I couldn't post for today as there were issues with the phone lines last night... some dweeb took out the main fibre optic line for our whole area. Ouch, that's gonna be a hefty bill!! Should be back tomorrow with a post.

Forms a perfect couple with yesterday's one, just keep your processing secret and apply for patents (how can I think of business with such beauty:))
12 Nov 2007 3:21am
Well, Mary, you've outdone yourself with this one!! Keep it up and who knows, a lot of great things will happen.
This is written you got locked out, so maybe (Lord knows) that was a great thing. All depends on perspective - No?? LOL Gotta keep laughing..
