Circus Act by maggiemae

Circus Act

Yolanda wanted to run away and join the circus but Mr Man, our Nuts'n'bolts man, wasn't so keen. Rather than trying to dissuade her, they practiced this balancing act and Mr Man gunned his motorbike so she would be frightened! Hmm!

ps I modified this photo by taking it out and replacing it but have now lost all the fabulous comments! Don't quite know what to do about that!
Very cool shot. Well done.

“I don't think this experiment of Mr Man's will dissuade her....it looks like she is loving the wind in her hair!!! They will have to join the circus as a team!”

“Cool shot - and l bet she likes the adrenalin rush and he wont be able to scare her into changing her mind!! ”

“This is my favorite of the Nuts'nBolts man series! Yolanda is one feisty lady!”

“YOU ARE SO CLEVER. I love it. That Yolanda is quite the performer and I have a feeling she is somewhat FEARLESS!!!!”

“Too funny. What is coming out of his exhaust? Plus did you put a fan on so her hair would blow? Love it.”

Didn't I comment? I think I said something like:
"That is quite a balancing act! Love the smoke/exhaust effect!"
December 22nd, 2012  
Okay I know I commented before, but this looks even cooler than it did--what did you do differently????
December 22nd, 2012  
@vskolnik Yes, you did Vee - because I tried to modify the photo by removing it, I lost all the comments but they are still in my emails. There were 18 comments! Sorry about the confusion
December 22nd, 2012  
@yonnie I just removed a mark I could see on the picture, Yvonne! Thanks for commenting again!

@maggiemae Ok, just want to make sure you saw the original:)
December 22nd, 2012  
I said something about the way you captured motion, as if Mr Man is zooming along, probably at Yolanda's insistence. Reckless girl! Anyway I like this picture even better than the one before.

@catwoman2 Thanks Mary, that's what I wanted to create - hubby, John suggested how to do it!
December 22nd, 2012  
Awesome
December 22nd, 2012  
LOL when I was small all I wanted to do was join circus!!! Love your shot, well done!
December 22nd, 2012  
Yolanda looks made for it. Total confidence despite the speed. Watch out Mr Man or she will be gone. Do something "gallant" to win her back.
December 22nd, 2012  
Wow! what talent she has, and no helmet, yikes!
December 22nd, 2012  
@lwain I'll have to look up that word, Lindy to see what it really means and tell Mr Man!
December 22nd, 2012  
@lwain it says. Brave, valiant. · Honorable. · Grand, noble · Very polite with women!
December 22nd, 2012  
What a great ride... Love it.
FAV

@lesip Thanks Leslie - I'll pass on your good wishes and fav!

Just for if it happens again Maggie, you can use the "edit in picmonkey" feature on your photo, without removing it, then save the edited version. That way you don't lose any comments. You did a great job rescuing them!
December 22nd, 2012  
Fabulous fun ride! Great shot! :)
December 22nd, 2012  
So very clever my dear! :) I love the background and what a fun ride :) I hope Yolanda decides to stay home :)

@onie I tried that, Leonie but couldnt find the tool for retouching - removing a mark etc! I'll have to learn a bit more about it!
December 22nd, 2012  
@maggiemae
It's called the cloning tool. You click the circle over an area of what you want the cover up to look like, then click over what you want removed...I'm not very good at explaining, it's one I use a bit. You can change the size of the circle depending on the area you want to retouch.

she is a natural
December 22nd, 2012  
This is great....love it!!
December 22nd, 2012  
@onie Ah, is that what you do - I do know what you mean. Will try it next time, thanks very much, Leonie!
December 22nd, 2012  
hehe! awesome! very creative Maggie :)
December 22nd, 2012  
@hettie It's a bit different from the usual flower photo, - thanks Hettie!

December 22nd, 2012  
Fantastic fun shot of Yolanda and Mr Man adventures!
December 22nd, 2012  
Awesome work! Love the creativity.
December 22nd, 2012  
Amazing work Maggiemae!!!!!
December 22nd, 2012  
Love the contrast, colors and Mr Man.
December 22nd, 2012  
How fun! Yes I agree with what someone said before- Yolanda loves the speed and the wind in her hair way too much to be dissuaded! Mr. Man might as well get ready for another adventure! Great processing!
December 22nd, 2012  
very neat, colors great too!
December 22nd, 2012
