You know, this is one of the photographs I liked the most... It's one of the oldest, but it has a special place in my heart...

It felt good to see you choose that to feature...

I know I am very late, but thank you so much, I'm honored..

She was in my garden... I always looked at her at a different angle and couldn't see The Swan... But then, I saw her, when after standing up from shooting an insect on the ground.

And that automatically made me believe once more that the coincidences are masks of destiny..

Thank you..

This is gorgeous! I love the dark background of it and the focus But what font did you use for the texture? It looks so nice

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kharax In reply to racora [2005-12-14 19:07:17 +0000 UTC]

The font I use for almost all of my work from one point of time in the past, is "Perpetua Titling".. I really like the feeling it gives, too...

Thank you so much for your appreciation and kind words... *bows*

you are welcome sir.
I do try to make my comments heart felt.

Give each piece its due respect.
but sometimes... i do not feel like it
too many comments can become routine and boring... then you receive "I like "

Very very beautiful.. how did you do the lighting ifi may ask? also what angle did you shoot this at? it is very well done.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kharax In reply to AbidingDaRules [2005-11-19 16:54:52 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, very much... Well this photo was shot outdoors, under thin but full clouds... So, a very powerful light grey light was everywhere...

The only natural light was this.. Then I added some radial gradient fill on the upper and lower sides to increase the illusion of sharpness and light and also used omnidirectional artificial light filtering on the rose...

I was just in front of the rose, did not use a tripod, but rotated the photo to create perfect horizontal fit...

*bows*

Thank you again, for your appreciation and it's token a precious
