About Oh dear, a foolish attempt to join his friend in the water.

Dragging himself back out from the rough surf, spitting out water and gasping for breath, Spidey collapses face down on the shore, exhausted and utterly alone.

Slowly slipping into dark unconsciousness, his thoughts turn to those wretched heavy magnets in the soles of his boots. Must... remember... to... take them off... next time...

But will there ever be a next time?

Oh, Rina, what a delight to notice this was by you after being attracted by the thumbnail and amused by the "about."


Rina     {K:27299} 5/10/2006
heehee! Originally I wanted to use pretty objects like shells or flowers, but decided that was too boring. Toys are way more fun!! Thanks Roger, glad you likey, cheers.


Rina     {K:27299} 5/10/2006

Congrats on the Donor Image of the Day!

You have a very strong imagination perhaps due to too much watching Hollywood movies on tv.

Also you are good at writing a good script? like this!

By the way do you work in a film industry in New Zealand?

By the way I see a Brazilian Peanut or a shell of Iranian Pistachio on the ledt side of your doll?

I wonder if you are try to say something in a subliminal way?
I wonder


Fatemeh Rahimi   {K:13523} 5/10/2006
CONGRATULATION for being chosen as DOD!
good luck Rina!


Rina     {K:27299} 5/10/2006
"You have a very strong imagination perhaps due to too much watching Hollywood movies on tv."
[Do strong imaginations only come from Hollywood?]

"Also you are good at writing a good script? like this!"
[Thank you!... I think?]

"By the way do you work in a film industry in New Zealand?"
[A few photos of a toy and suddenly I'm in the film industry???? Wow, that's a huge leap...]

"By the way I see a Brazilian Peanut or a shell of Iranian Pistachio on the ledt side of your doll?"
[Yes and yes. A nut-addicted, globe-trotting alien was watching me the whole time, while enjoying a snack. Messy eater. He sends you his regards.]

"I wonder if you are try to say something in a subliminal way?
I wonder"
[Me too... me too]

..................CONGRATULATIONS.................

I've just finished another long day at work and go for a quick look-see at what's going down in UF and my lovely clever girl has got herself an award.......Well done to you sweetiepie. Having 'lost' most of the last 48hrs I am way behind with commenting, yet again.

I have noted that Spidey appears in another post by you, but I'll catch that one tomorrow when I recover from work.

A super 'about' and an alleged attempt at joining the Kiwi film industry....nothing by halves sweet angel:):):) I love the composition and I sin......cerly hope that Spidey will undertake more adventures with your superb direction. Love you to bits you silly young thing. My very best wishes as always plus huge hugs and a big kiss....Ray

Joel Aron   {K:14920} 5/14/2006
Brilliant Rina!

The levels of depth are so inviting. I loved the moment when my eye first relized that was water in the distance.

very nice! I love the color balance, and the brilliant composition of textures that almost had seeing this as 'spidey left for dead on the roadside'.

great image. I like this very much!

ps... off to Hong Kong for 5 days, and have a day to *just take pictures* ...very excited.

cheers,
-joel


Rina     {K:27299} 5/14/2006

Dear Rina,

Well deserved award for sticking with the theme. Very nice choice of subject (I myself have often thought about clicking toys in this perspective). Personally, I liked 'A hero's demise' more, but all three are good. Well done !!

I too have a humble profile in UF. Please go thru it, if u can, and let me know what you feel. Any comments/suggestions are truly welcome.

best regards,
Avi


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 6/8/2006
I feel like a kid playing with toys again . . . great stuff!

Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 6/8/2006
Ok - I'm not waiting for the DvD - I just read through the comments and I'm laughing heartily . . . the comments are great and worth the time it takes to read them . . . you clearly have a flair for this!
:)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
