A very strange rarish orchid photograph taken by my daughter Cheyenne Rio Forbus age 9. She used a Canon 20d and did the Wacom work and Photoshop with my guidance mostly by herself. I showed her a bit. Photograph copyright by Cheyenne Rio Forbus
Wow!... tell Cheyenne I am thoroughly impressed! Watch your back!
Artist Reply: I will give her you message. I gave her URL and all the 9 year old kids with laptops are drooling over her work, By signing a contract with a child, am I breaking the manager law. She is really that good and people may think I really helped a lot but I did not. thanks sweetie. Don't hibernate too much. we love to see what your doing. Work and work huh. Love ya miguel
Artist Reply: Luther, how kind you are, I will tell her tonight of your compliment, she really did almost all of it with little direction. I'm sunk if she gets any better. Michael
What exotic creatures they are...like alien lifeforms. You are a
great teacher...great photograph and effects...
Artist Reply: Sara, you are so kind. Most daddies don't let the kids play with the grown up toys, I welcome it. She is cautious with the equipment and very respectful and she is great at composition. I will thank her for you. Michael and thanks from me to.
Well...your wonderful daughter did superb job,here ,dear MICHAEL.....Its such a UNIQUE Orchid,and it looks like a painting to me,actually...Have a Marvelous creative day!!
Artist Reply: Cheyenne and I both thank you and if she were here she would write this letter. She is so happy to be on the site. She won 9th in Digital for the day. Tnank you for the kindness. Michael
this is just stunning and a definite favourite i can see that she has expensive tastes a proper princess! love the melting subtle effect at the bottom Cheyenne hugz !!!
Artist Reply: A bit of the old liguify in Photoshop did it. She could not believe that filter, I own the orchid and she took the photograph and I helped her enchance it and she used the Wacom and Photoshop and my mega dollar Canon 20D with lenses that were dangerously close to the ground. But things can be replaced. The feelings we share will never be forgotten. You too. Michael
Artist Reply: She told me to thank all the nice people who wrote her, so thanks from her in absentia. Michael
Artist Reply: Analua, my daughter of 9 took the photograph and I helped a bit with the Photoshop CS2 and the Wacom Tablet, quite a talent at 9 and a lovely girl. A brown nut of skin color and gorgeous bronwn eyes and loves to work with daddy. She had to go home to her other house and asked my to thank everyone for their kindness. It is true. Michael
Artist Reply: Armando, my nina took the picture with my Canon 20D and I helped just a little on the Photoshop and the Wacom Tablet. She requested that I thank all the kind people that commented, and you are one of the most kind. Michael, my best to you Armando
