Description While viewing stock images I saw this white gown pose. I was fascinated by the image and for some reason liked the way the hem flowed like water. I went to the lake recently and took several shots just for this image as a study of water imaging and how to work water ripples and make images appear to be underwater. I am still learning and think that process will never end. I then was lost for a title or explanation. Naiads came to my mind and I did some research and yes I know they don't have wings at least not in Greek Mythology. My mind then switched to the insect world where I get most of my wings and like the queen bee who is dominate and dwarfs her workers I made this image a New Age Naiad. The lake goddess Limnatides (Greek name for lake naiad) sending her workers out protecting the lake. The Naiads I see can fly and do have wings and they can take human form and size and become invisible. Excerpt taken from Jeep's mind catalogued under new age Naiads found near the vicinity of Fairystone national Park Virginia.
My special thanks to Amy whos hard work in her stock Images made this image possible and whose name I used in this image.

Thanks
I think that was more of a venting thrugh an image instead of the normal verbal rant and it did get a lot off of my mind to express some of my and some of my friends feelings that some of us hide. Getting it out I think gave me some peace of mind. Hope you are doing well

Amy and that gown was so beautiful and I was trying at that time to manipulate Images in water settings and a trip to a local lake gave me the background shots I needed. I had to do some reading on water nymphs and then had to deviate from the legends of the past but that was fun also.
take care jeep

I am still learning to work water images at least make them appear to be as real as possible and to meet the ladies in the graphics is something very special. I always send and request the ladies permission and any suggestions she may have even with stock images. That seems to bring a sense of accomplishment rather tha just post whatever I want.
Hope all is well with you
