Beautiful texture of that wall(?) with cracks forming their own pattern and the washed out colours. Stunning background!YOU hanging as a leaf from the vine....Ohhhhhh! what a creative idea and so beautifully presented! Dearest Ina, my sincere compliments!
Gabriela


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thank you Gabriela, I just got into UF today, and will be away again till Tuesday. I'm glad you like the wall texture, sorry I'm behind with comments, I'm really trying to catch up! Love, Ina

If I wasn't looking for your portrait, I wouldn't have found it. Wonderful integration into the base image. I also like the rock face's different hues. That on the left looks like blueberry. Makes me think when I'm gone, will I still be "around?"


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thanks Mark, It was a fascinating wall, had all sorts of "maps" and cracks on it. My "Cracking a Smile" picture is from the same structure. It's an old railway rusty bridge above it. The perfect place to hang as a leaf :)


Mark Wlaz   {K:4558} 12/11/2005
Wonderfully creative and well executed. Congrats.
Mark


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thanks very much, Mark! I'm so sorry - I'm still late with my replies, it's been one of those weeks :)

Oh friend, this is fantastic, the idea, the texture, the colours and your selfportrait are superb!!! Very artistic work, lovely tiny details, love the harsh surface on the wall. Very nice idea the your selfportrait showing on the leaf and well used technique. Very, very nice artwork this one. I do love it dear Ina! Excellent work as usual. ...saved my favourites! :) Lovely...!

Have a nice day!
Robert


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thanks dear Robert, I'm honored to be in your favorites :-) I'll be on and off for the next few days, I might be a little late with my comments, but I'll catch up with you! Best regards, Ina

what amazing artistic creative abstract from nature
this is a master piece dear Ina
i love the tones and the details
great PS work
and i feel the integration of the portrait inside the composition

well done


NN     {K:26787} 12/11/2005
WOW ... this is SO cool! Again, awesome tones and textures! My only suggestion would be to place the leaf slightly off the center. *hugs*


Rima Dario   {K:4427} 12/11/2005
Splendida.
Ciao Dario.


andree lerat   {K:16818} 12/11/2005
Had to look carefully to find your portrait. Well done. Blends so well with the stone. Love the grapes. :) Andree


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thanks Andree :)


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thanks Dario :)


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thanks Elisa, you're right about the central placement, the only reason was to tie-in with those 2 existing grapes :) but more off-center left would be better! Hugs and smiles to you, Ina


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/11/2005
Thank you so much Mohamed! Glad to see you back :) Ina


Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 12/11/2005

As far as not commenting on your work because of a busy schedule...that is NOT going to happen! I might miss a day or two now and then, but I have no intention of not following your work...I love it!!!
Kathy

Hi Ina!
Sorry for my previous comment, it's not for you, of course :S. If it could be deleted... Sorry again :(.
Now my comment on THIS photo:
I love the colours and textures on the wall. The grapes add a lot to the compo.
Well seen, congrats.


Tony Diana   {K:13396} 12/17/2005

Adnan Buballo   {K:3859} 12/18/2005

Andrzej Pradzynski   {K:21606} 12/19/2005
Ina, I'm gazing amazed on this beautiful creation - truly you should not say this is your self portrait as I've could feel your spirit in the frame from my first glance. Later reading your "abouts" I've found your likeness hanging down from the wild grape twigs - the fact did not changed much as the spirit of the image is a dominator. Marvelous composition and one of the greatest photoarts in the selfportrait category. I'm still staring... Cheers, n.j


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 12/20/2005
Thanks Andrzej, I feel very flattered :) I have many other self portraits of this kind... I'll put one here and there among other things. Looking forward to your new posts! Best regards, Ina


Rima Dario   {K:4427} 12/26/2005
Colori e scatto Super.
Auguri Dario.


Anne Knes   {K:49200} 3/10/2008
Excellent .
