Affection

Anybody fancy a hug?
Regardless of whether you do or not, this hug goes out to my anonymous benefactor who, while I slept the sleep of the drunken bum (which is often the case) took it upon themselves to upgrade me to Ace membership overnight. You are a true gentleman/gentlelady. This hug is for you.
This is awesome! How do you do this?? fav!

Cool you! :-)
October 14th, 2015  
awesome image, congrats on the upgrade!
October 14th, 2015  
So... We can expect even more awesomeness going forward? :)
October 14th, 2015  
Goody ....more awesome photos to put a smile on my dial every morning
October 14th, 2015  
Very cool!
October 14th, 2015  
OMG amazing hug
October 14th, 2015  
Awesome! Welcome back!
October 14th, 2015  
Awesome effect. Fav.
October 14th, 2015  
If Ace means we will be seeing more from you then I'd like to thank them too...whenever they recover from your hug.
October 14th, 2015  
Someone did that to/for me once too. It was a nice surprise. Someday I should pass it on, but this wasn't me.
October 14th, 2015  
That's no hug! What a nice surprise for you. This community really is quite awesome
October 14th, 2015  
@carla42 It's a very special kind of hug...and aren't they just awesome people?
@pandorasecho I guess I'll have to start taking it seriously now...
@gardencat I might need some time to recover from hugging someone as well...
@nadaa Thank you very much :)
@janiskay Thanks very much - on both counts
@lesip I suppose you want one now? ;)
@kwind Thank you kindly :)
@deborah63 No pressure then? ;)
@northy Or more awesome fails, take you pick...was considering starting an album for "pre-edit" shots but yeah...nah...
@bill_fe Thank you and thank you...it was a pleasant surprise to wake up to. Which is something my wife never says ;)
@nanderson I know! Someones fairly awesome.
@lifepause Woof woof
@amandal Its all about how you lean...
@sheilaanne I'd have to show you the pre edit image to explain it properly, but the white is provided courtesy of the walls either side of the bathroom door...and Lightroom did the rest
October 14th, 2015  
You are an Ace! How delightful. Nice hug. :)
October 14th, 2015  
@graemestevens I'll settle for the virtual hug ...
October 14th, 2015  
@rosiekerr It's a treat...now I have to take it seriously, especially given that I'm spending someone else's hard earned money
@lesip Chicken ;)
October 14th, 2015  
So cool!
October 14th, 2015  
A random act of kindness ???
October 14th, 2015  
Brilliant would love to do this!
October 14th, 2015  
@colleenbrown88 Thanks very much - it's surprisingly easy (unless anyone asks, then it's very, very difficult)
@hermann Indeed - It was certainly a surprise
@yeshanghai I know - some people are far too generous
October 14th, 2015  
Great image. Good news for us on your 'Aceship'. Looking forward to more images :-)
October 14th, 2015  
Halloween is soon lol u don't need mask *kidding* great one xxx
October 14th, 2015  
So know we can see your awesomeness in double?! What a kind thing to do!
October 14th, 2015  
hello! nice to be out of the black box, but in the white world this is not called hug. Cool creative shot as always.
October 14th, 2015  
This one is better. Now I know what to expect if I do something nice for you. Don't worry though, I won't do anything nice for you.
October 14th, 2015  
I can see by the expression that you are truly happy...
October 14th, 2015  
Damn! I'm going to miss my regular nag at you to do this for yourself, like you know you should have done, ages ago. I have no idea what kind person has spoilt my fun - I promise you, that it wasn't me.
October 14th, 2015  
some hug LOL
October 14th, 2015  
@annied I like to leave my victims with something to think about
@vignouse You'll have to find something else to nag me about now...and you were a prime suspect...
@alinz This is indeed my smily happy rainbow face
@deliad I wouldn't expect anything less
@yaorenliu Thank you very much - a hug is hug, even if it does leave scars.
@dibzgreasley Indeed, someone needs thanking and now I feel a pressure to perform
@quackyquack I might just smile for Halloween...
@motherjane No pressure then... ;)
October 14th, 2015  
@graemestevens I guessed that I might be - and I would be lying if I said that it hadn't crossed my mind - but no, someone else is due that hug... lucky them! And, don't worry, I will find something else to have a go at you about ;-))
October 14th, 2015  
Oo very cool 3D effect!
October 14th, 2015  
@graemestevens pls do it lol it will scare us deff lol
October 14th, 2015  
Prepare yourself! Ace-memberships come with obligations. Haha.
October 14th, 2015  
It is so kind people on 365 give a membership to another person! congrats! fab shot!
October 14th, 2015  
you could do a charity hug-athon ..or maybe grope-athon...
October 14th, 2015  
@jack4john I like the sound of the grope-athon...
@nicoleterheide I know, there's some awesome people here - and thank you
@mastermek I guess I have to take it seriously now...
@quackyquack No one needs that sort of terror in their life
@susale Thanks very much :)
@vignouse I have no doubt at all that you'll come up with something sooner or later - truth be told, it keeps me on my toes ;)
October 14th, 2015  
Wow aren't there some great people around....must love your photos so much to do that! That is your hug face ? Oh dear!
October 14th, 2015  
Reading this gives me hope in humanity after all!!
October 14th, 2015  
Nice attention !
October 14th, 2015  
I will pass on the hug, but am so happy for you! This is a great shot, it would make a wicked album cover.
October 14th, 2015  
Phew, not for me.
October 14th, 2015  
can almost hear the ladies screaming ;)
October 14th, 2015  
Cool shot!
October 15th, 2015  
Very cool cut out! FAV!
October 15th, 2015  
Yikes. Very cool. Fav.
October 15th, 2015  
Fantastic shot, love love love the 3D effect it gives - you're so good at those dramatic contrast images... And ACE!!! I thought for sure Richard might have done it too :) How fun!
October 15th, 2015  
@kerosene You say fun, but now I have to take this shit seriously!
@golftragic Thank you very much :)
@homeschoolmom Thanks very much :)
@pistache Thank you kindly :)
@mindeater They always do...
@joansmor Chicken...
@kategoring Thanks very much - can't say I blame you either, my wife says that being hugged by me is like hugging an epileptic octopus
@cocobella I'm so spoiled
@blueberry1222 Absolutely - just when you think they're all like me someone goes and proves us wrong!
@happypat There are some awesome people, and yes, this is my delighted face
October 15th, 2015  
Oooohhh....a really nice gesture from someone. That hug is certainly some kind of reward, but I'm not sure what kind!
October 15th, 2015  
@taffy Some people are just far to awesome for their own good I'm afraid ;)
October 15th, 2015  
Creative and quirky! Wait, what does that mean? Oh well, looks like a hug and scratch your eyes out too!! Nice capture!
October 15th, 2015  
I think we all need a group hug!! That was an extremely kind gesture, whether you wanted it or not!! Now, at least you won't have to guess at who has been FAVing your photos! ;-)) Seriously, though, do you stand in front of a black backdrop on a white wall, or is this post processing?!
October 15th, 2015  
@photographycrazy For some reason no one wants to get too close...
@panthora There are some truly wonderful people here. In this case the white is the walls on either side of the bathroom door and the black is a backdrop that I put in the door frame...then lean forward and look menacing ...
October 15th, 2015  
@graemestevens Thanks for that explanation!! That's kind of what I figured, but you never know! Much better to create these kind of shots in place than having to mess with PS!!
October 15th, 2015  
@panthora I only have lightroom, so I have to do it the old fashioned way...which makes the fire shots hilariously dangerous...
October 15th, 2015  
Brilliantly done! And seriously, someone else paid for your Ace membership?
October 16th, 2015  
For a minute there I thought you had overcome your Scottish heritage and forked out for it. It's obviously a testament to your great work that it has been provided to you. Well bravo I say. I'm looking forward to a little more insanity in my day :)
October 17th, 2015  
@888rachel Thanks very much and yes, some generous soul decided that I should be taking this lark a bit more seriously...generously awesome
@karlow75 You can never have to much insanity in your day...the last two days have been chaos though so you may have to wait...
