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"!
@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!
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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)
@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
@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!
@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?? :)
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.
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!
@rmkgreene LOL! It would be so nice if it was automatic!
@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!

@shadowdancer Oh, now I know you can do this better than I can! Your shots are always so outstanding, gal! Thank you for your kind comments and visit! Most appreciated.
@skipt07 Wow! Thank you for the fav and your wonderful comments, Skip! This shot gave me so much trouble. This is where my sensors in my camera started going all wonky making lines and garbage on the right hand side of the frame. Hoping my camera will last a little while longer. Can't afford a new one at the moment.

@jsw0109 Thank you, Jeff! The background is the out of focus green grass and the black is the deep shade.
@jsw0109 Nope! LOL! Are you disappointed?
