Monica, when I saw these flowers in my garden, my eye was immediately pulled and I “knew” they were special. It took some time to get the right angle to capture them perfectly but I know I did. I’m so happy you enjoyed them, for they in of themselves bring immediately, at least to me, great JOY. Have a wonderful day, my friend!!! ❤
To capture movement in stillness is my goal many times when I photograph flowers, Marissa. This one I exceeded my intentions in every way. These are not sepia tones for in order to create sepia I would have had to shoot with a sepia filter or change the colors in PS to sepia. What you see is exactly how I captured this image with my camera with the settings I had on it. The texture I agree pops right out at you. I’m so glad you enjoyed this today!! ❤
Thank you, Ashley. This image is powerful and truly when I saw these flowers, I was stopped in my tracks. I just knew I had the key to a winner in these Crocuses. You are so welcome …. I LOVE to share. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤
YAY, KATHY!!! You noticed! And this time I did not say anything. Isn’t that something, that “white fog”? I have one other coming that has this phenomen, not quite so obvious, but it is there. And these flowers? I was with them a LONG time making sure I captured perfectly. I could not believe my eyes to be thruthful. Just wow!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this with me, my friend!! Love, Amy ❤
I sure noticed, Amy!!! Yes, love the flowers.You can tell that you take care with every picture and it shows your love for them. Really did enjoy it my dear friend! HUGS ❤
I should just set up a shorthand system so I can avoid feeling like I’m repeating myself. Amy, the light in this photo is amazing. It’s like no actual light ever.
Dan, I hear the amazement in your “voice”. Now you are beginning to understand (goosebumps!) that I am able to capture what most people do not. I do not understand how I do it, just that I really feel a very powerful connection with Mother. I really am covered in goosebumps just to know my friend is “getting” the tremendous honor I have been given by Mother. I believe due to all I do with the animals and how I tend to all of Life actually, walking with Respect, I have been given permission to enter a world that many do not see. I am so touched by the fact you now know. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤
Bless you, dearest friend. An email will be coming. Just so much to say and for days now I have been trying to organize my thoughts. Know for now, you have done a great service to me by how your words effected me. I am SO grateful to YOU. Love, Amy ❤
Yes, I do agree. The lighting in this was otherworldly. Thank you, Sriram. I hope all is well with you and that your weekend will bring with it much happiness and many smiles. ❤
And I am every Grateful for all your post dear Amy.. A breath of fresh air is always breathed into my lungs from each of your posts.. I have needed that this last 7 weeks.. Thankfully the weight I have carried these past weeks is now lifted.. A sigh of huge proportions is now lifted.. As I give thanks for Life and my health..
Sending huge Hugs dearest Amy.. Love and Blessings
