Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Mark. I've just discovered your portfolio. What a great journey into a very spiritual world and so many new dimensions. You've motivated me to fire up PhotoShop for some special effects. Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my work.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much. Please check out the beautiful interpretation of this image by artist Francine Henderson. She calls it "Rhythm of the Rain." Glad you stopped by to take a look.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your generous comment Renata. This shade of green really sold me on uploading the photo in the first place. Really glad you like it.
Somehow water drops always attract my attention! This is beautifully captured. I am almost scared that the water would drip onto my keyboard LOL:-))
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Wia. Please check out the beautiful interpretation of this image by artist Francine Henderson. She calls it "Rhythm of the Rain." She captured the raindrops in a way you will truly appreciate. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
Wow, this is an amazing photo
great color and nice effect with the shadow and the water drops
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Alessandra. I was very happy with the color saturation in this shot (assisted every so slightly by PhotoShop). Appreciate your stopping by to comment.
Wow!! I love this!! The colors and shading are amazing and they play off each other so very well. Excellent capture!! Man after my own heart :)
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Tracy. I see you were after the same thing with "Rain Remainders." I wanted a rich, deep shade of green, figuring that the raindrops would be set off more. Glad you stopped by to take a look. I appreciate your comment.
This photo is as perfect as one can be. Beautiful photo.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Phyllis. I really like the greens I was able to coax out of the leaves. Check out what Francine Henderson did with her painting of this photo. She calls it "Rhythm of the Rain."
This is a stunning image Mike. I am a bit tired of seeing leaves, they are all so similar. But this one stands out clearly! Would make a beautiful fine -art-card!
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Madeleine. I agree: there are a lot of pictures of leaves out there. And leaves with raindrops are definitely a cliché. I decided to put this one up only because the green is so nicely saturated. I really appreciate your comment; I am planning to have some note cards made. Thanks for stopping by.
I can almost smell the leaves and feel the raindrops on my fingertips. Awesome pic
Artist Reply: Glad you like it Sharon. I was very tempted to dip my fingers into those raindrops, too, but thought I better shoot the picture first. Thanks so much for your comment.
Thank you for your comments, Mike. You are a true master of the art and a comment from is humbling.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your kind remarks Duncan. And right back at you, because your portfolio is a real textbook for photographers who want to be serious about their finished images. I know I'm learning something from every one of your pictures. Good shooting!
Great work, shine green, perfect for puzzles! bravo Mike :)
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Alessandra. Your suggestion about making this shot into a puzzle is excellent. I may just give that a try. Glad you like it.
Ingenious. Sure handed the best of the bunch, with expert engineering and depicts correct procedures. Satisfyingly swift.Fully admirable. So appealing a palpable pleasure ,almost mystic enlightedness that lends to our world an atmosphere of the supernatural. That propels you trough the air squirming in your chair. Leaves a body interested, comprehensive and rather comforted. Uncommonly good and rewarding. Abundantly very high tech. Incredibly an education in itself.
Artist Reply: I'll take that as a compliment, John. Thank you for stopping by to take a look. Glad you like it.
Artist Reply: Thank you Mary. I appreciate your words, especially since you are so skilled at showing nature's beauty in photographic images. Glad you stopped by.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Mike. I worked on getting the strongest possible color and I'm happy with the results. Glad you like it. Appreciate your comments.
Excellent macro photo - great composition and color. Raindrops add so much. Simplicity reigns, and it exudes tranquility.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Laurel. I appreciate your comments. Yes, there's something about raindrops that can have a very calming effect. Glad you like it.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Warren. I appreciate these kind words from a photographer whose beautiful portfolio of flower and garden images numbers in the hundreds. Glad you stopped by.
