Definitely a Fav. Just great. My day wasn't so fantastic either - hope yours got better.
May 25th, 2012  
This is beautifully composed with a lot of thought! The green is fantastic - "I'm just slipping off darling, into the wild green yonder, -you hang on"!
May 25th, 2012  
Simply irresistible, a must fav
May 25th, 2012  
Wow, you are superb with these types of shots. Pinned and fav!

May 25th, 2012  
Great capture.
May 25th, 2012  
awesome macro.. beautiful..
May 25th, 2012  
excellent use of gradient!
May 25th, 2012  
@karenann You are too kind, Karen! Thank you for your lovely, lovely comments! I had so much trouble with this shot because my lens won't focus that small without going all grainy. Worse! I think the whole right sensor is fixing to go out cause I kept getting garbled garbage on the right side of the shot. It's noisy and grainy. Not clear and beautiful like the shots I've seen that are similar. But I said to heck with it, found my song, and toasted it with my wine as it posted. LOL! Just hope this camera will hold up a little while longer.

@pointnshoot28 You are so sweet, Donna! Thank you for the fav and your comments!

@memejanetx3 Oh! Thank you, Janet! I really appreciate the fav and your kind comments!

@lyoungs1023 Thank you, Elizabeth! You are too kind!

@soozieqt Thank you so much, Susan!

@meisen325 LOL! I just had to make it better, Monica! Thank you for the fav and your sweet comments! Most appreciated!

@maggiemae LOL! I love your narrative, Maggiemae! Thank you so much for the fav. Glad you liked the song, too! I'm showing my age there!

@sugarmuser Oh! Thank you so much for the fav and your lovely comment, Sharon!

@rmkk You are too sweet and kind, Marlene! Thank you for the fav, the pinning and your lovely comments!

@yonnie Such wonderful comments! Thank you so much, Yvonne! I appreciate the fav and your visit!

@litljen Aww! Thank you, Jennifer! You are a sweetheart!

@janets Thank you, Janet!
May 25th, 2012  
@cheribug Thank you, Cheryl!

@jsw0109 Thank you, Jeff! The background is the out of focus green grass and the black is the deep shade.
May 25th, 2012  
Or fly with the wind? Good one!
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam so it wasn't done in post processing with a gradient tool?
May 25th, 2012  
@binny Thank you, Binny!

@jsw0109 Nope! LOL! Are you disappointed?
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam no... how did you get the effect with the camera? that's amazing!
May 25th, 2012  
Love this mags. Enjoy your party ;-)
May 25th, 2012  
@jsw0109 Very shallow DOF! When you're zooming on something that small, that's what you get. Colors depend on what the background is, in this case it was green grass and deep shade. The lighter green is where the sun was hitting the grass.
May 25th, 2012  
Very nice, I am just curious why your exif info is not there and no camera is shown for your shots??
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam I'm going to have to try this... I wonder if I can get the dof shallow enough with my lens
May 25th, 2012  
This is absolutely beautiful..it has such a softness to it! And the colors are beautiful!
May 25th, 2012  
Great shot! I love the simplicity of it!
May 25th, 2012  
Deb
Awesome shot! You are so creative! Way to let your hair down . . . Cheers!
May 25th, 2012  
@wardie Thank you very much, Paul! I am enjoying my glass of wine now.

@rmkgreene Whenever I use Perfect Photo Suite to convert to black and white or add one of the glow effects, it saves it as a PSD file. When I resave it as a jpeg in Photoshop, it doesn't carry over the exif info. But, I will be happy to tell you what you want to know... The original file exif info says... Shutter speed: 1/400 sec, f-stop: 5.6, ISO: 200, Focal length: 70.2. My camera is a cheap Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS that I got about two or three years ago. I got it to shoot the items I sell in my Etsy shop. I had no idea I would be taking pics for a photography site like this!

@jsw0109 Jeff, take a look at the original file exif info in my comment to Ruth above. Maybe that will help you some.
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam yep, that helps. Those Kodak EasyShare cameras are way better than people want to believe.
May 25th, 2012  
Fav for me too. Outstanding Maggie. I love everything about it.
May 25th, 2012  
@jsw0109 my stupid laptop... I wasn't done. I always tell people that want to be able to take really nice photos with a point and shoot to go with an EasyShare. I had 2 PnS cameras, I gave the Sony to my sister because, even though it was more "high end PnS" and cost more, the Kodak produced better images. I would even use the same settings, take a picture of something with one, then the other so everything should be identical. Then I'd upload the pics. The Kodak was always better.
May 25th, 2012  
@groovygirlrn Thank you so much, Sheri! That's one of the "glow effects" in Perfect Photo Suite.

@mnallphoto Thank you so much, Michael!

@deburahiru Aww! Deb, you are such a sweetie! Thank you and hugs!

@cdonohoue Wow! Thank you for the fav and your most lovely comments, Cathy! Most appreciated!

@jsw0109 Thank you, Jeff! I really do appreciate that. It was all I could afford but did everything I needed it to do at the time. It even takes some damn decent videos I had to upload to YouTube!!! But... I think I'm losing a sensor. This shot gave me lots of trouble today! I've taken thousands and thousands of pics with it.
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam they DO take good video! I did a video in Vegas with mine (my EasyShare was my first digital camera, and I still have it... it still comes in handy)
May 25th, 2012  
I just cant say enough wonderful things so i will just FAV! It is Beautiful Maam!!
May 25th, 2012  
Fantastic - this is so very cool :) Nice nice colors and beautiful details ~ what talent! fav ;)
May 25th, 2012  
SO neat! this a great shot!
May 25th, 2012  
I love this! before I read the comments I thought you added a gradient. It looks lovely!
May 25th, 2012  
Beautiful!!! Love the background!!!
May 25th, 2012  
Wonderful!!! Love this muchly. Fav!
May 25th, 2012  
@jsw0109 I hope mine lasts as long then!

May 25th, 2012  
Kim
Fantastic shot! Fav!
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam, thanks for explaining, I just couldn't figure out why no exif info with all your photos, all the photos I see on here show Camera and exif info, and I had just noticed yours had neither. Call me a dufus!! But now that you have explained it I am clear as MUD!! LOL
May 25th, 2012  
@kdei Wow! Thank you for the fav and comment, Kim! Most appreciated!

@rmkgreene No problem! I really have to do some research! There should be a way to save the jpeg so all the exif info transfers over, but I have no clue at the moment!
May 25th, 2012  
@marlboromaam I am not that computer savy, just learning how to use some of the edit programs, I just thought they did it automatically on here, but what do I know?? :)
May 25th, 2012  
Love it Maggie! Fav! Was today just a universal bad day? See my pic that I posted for 5/20 but was how I felt today. Love this song...feeling better already.
May 25th, 2012

May 25th, 2012  
How yummy is this shot! Wow! FAV! You need to pin this! :-)
May 25th, 2012  
I have one almost like that! only your background really really is awesome! mine has way too much clutter, even tho bokehish...too many colors to show off the little guy hanging on! really nice shot!
May 25th, 2012  
I hope you let your hair down!! Awesome photo! Beautiful colours and love the feathery detail. Beautiful!

@wannabe I left my comment on your pic. LOL! Cool shot, gal! Appreciate your kind comments! Thank you for the fav, too! Universal? Maybe. I think my camera is about to quit on me. I think I have a sensor going bad because this shot gave me all kinds of trouble... among other things going on around here. Oiy!

Can't afford a new one at the moment.
