@monty147 Thank you very much, much appreciated :)
@annied Take your time...

@graemestevens I am - still on phone but have had shower

Awesome shot, very gritty.

@annied Typical woman...dilly dally, procrastinate, call it what you will. The rest of us were ready hours ago.
@karlow75 Thank you kindly sir

@graemestevens hahaha in actually real life factual true and all that I am always early lol

amazing detail.beautiful comp.very cool and effective.fav for sure

@graemestevens @annied Oh dear! You are both way ahead of me. It's still the 18th over in my world... I have yet to take any pictures today... I've got an hour and half left to come up with something.

Oh. Also. This is fabulous, per usual. Perhaps I should stop commenting on your photos and start taking some of my own...

@mzzhope Thank you so much, always appreciated :)
@ludgate Snigger...you said "come up with something"
@annied I don't believe that for a second!

@ludgate Thank you nice lady person, I await your contribution with eager anticipation

@graemestevens ಠ__ಠ

@ludgate you must watch what you say - he is easily distracted
@graemestevens it is really truly true - early - probably because I do not wear make-up - do not phoof my hair and usually grab the first thing I can find to wear - real treasure I am - hahahahaha - i can be ready and out the door in 15 minutes

@graemestevens "Nice lady person". Well well well, breaking out the compliments, are ya?

@annied I noticed.

@annied I don't wear make up either...
@ludgate Are you expecting me to wax poetic?

@graemestevens oh I am sure I have seen you in some - and you definitely wear fancier clothes than me LOL

@graemestevens oh btw - I finally made it to the comp and you have done a remarkable amazing job on this image - the gritty reality is quite emotive

@annied I think you may be right regarding the make up, I do seem to recall having some eye liner on at some point in the distant past. As for this shot, thank you kindly, as always, you remarkable gem of humanity you.

Brilliant on black! I am in awe of your creativity Graeme :)

@cndglnn Thank you so much :) I get most of my ideas while out walking the dogs...

@graemestevens LOL

@annied I get the distinct impression that you're not taking me seriously at all.

@graemestevens You are a riot! :)

@graemestevens oh dear - I shall look into rectifying that - we cannot have things being made a mockery of

@annied Gte some wine in ya!
@cndglnn I'm more of a disorderly mob than a riot, but thanks anyway ;)

@annied I do not know what "gte" is but both I and my keyboard apologise unreservedly

@graemestevens as you should - I could have been seriously affronted by such vocabulary

@annied Heaven forbid such a travesty!

@graemestevens indeed - could have been a disaster! Speaking of which my next post fits that bill LOL

@annied Well hurry up then, I'm waiting to see it

@graemestevens duckin' impatient

@annied Yes. And your point would be?

@graemestevens pointy :)

@annied That's rude and I shan't continue with the continuation of this conversation if you continue to continue.

@graemestevens then I shall refrain from continuing because I would hate for you to not continue with said continuance

@graemestevens That too! Haha :)

@annied Excellent. In that case I shall continue

@graemestevens and I shall refrain

Great shot. Reminds me of the stories in the Bible about lepers.

@homeschoolmom Thanks very much - I must go and buy a bell ;)
@annied Suit yourself

@graemestevens I shall - thank you for your consideration

Emotive springs to mind :))

You over did it didn't you?

@hermann Thank you very much indeed :)
@shepherdmanswife There was just far too much colour going on in my album

epic!

@andrewkru Thank you kindly :)

very noice!

@brigette Thank you very much :)

@graemestevens sorry - i'm out of really innovative descriptors.. but its is very cool!

@brigette That's okay, I'm all out of original ways to say thanks ;)

wow, Lucky it is not in colours. I don't want to see red. Amazing against black.

Brilliant image! Very powerful! Fav of course!

@yaorenliu Thank you very much - no red in this one
@pamknowler Thank you very much, always appreciated

Looks like you are ready to go boxing! FAV

The devil makes work for idle hands, but sure he would have no buisness with a gentleman like your self

Compelling and dramatic! You are right.. it is best viewed on black. I like your quote, too.

Very inventive and gritty. Good one.

@gamelee Thank you very much :)
@rosiekerr Thank you kindly - I have no idea who first said it.
@jack4john Good lord no, I'm always doing...something...
@gigiflower Thank you so much nice lady :)

My hands looked like that for many years Graeme, used to work down the PIT...Fav

@tonygig Thanks very much - rather you than me!

Gritty, raw, powerful.....this is one strong image.....FAV!!

@panthora Thanks very much indeed :)

It's all in the details!! Love, love, love this!

Does look fabulous on black

@rachelwithey Thanks very much :)
@divast8er Thank you thank you thank you ;)

The quote is very salutary and made me pause for thought - these hands don't look very apathetic... so they must belong to the other fella!

@vignouse Or maybe evil has already found their gloves...will we ever know? ;)

Really really loving your emotive and dark work, and looks amazing on black

What Osia @panthora said...wow! Fav. And there is a beauty in this weirdly enough

@taffy Thank you so much, always appreciated :)

Awesome grittiness.

Great shot. Looks like it could be an advertisement for Gatorade. Love the grittiness.
