Very great job been made here, its true that photography is painting with light and you did a great painting here and with very impressive tone, which I did enjoy viewing.
Wishing you all of the best my friend

Thanks James,
I had to reply to this one right away. I went to your portfolio and found your "Luxagraphic" prints. I see exactly what you mean. This shot was inspired by a few underwater shots that I have seen on Usefilm. Kes, in particular had one a few weeks ago and I thought I might try to do one. I also visited your portfolio a little while ago and have seen these images before too. There must have been some subliminal influence :)
BTW, I Googled Luxagraphic to see what you were talking about and your comment to this image came up as the first reference :) Go figure.

Thanks Dave,
I have two of these... this one shows more as an abstract than the other. Although once you know what this is, then you can see the water's surface and realize where the pattern comes from.

Haha! I proclaim myself King of Luxagraphia.
Actually, I coined the term. But who's keeping track? Feel free to use it liberally. Just don't forget to send me royalties.
Keep up the good work.

Andre, I thought those are underwater elf hairs. Frankly I have never seen any mermaid in Madawaska River, and the hairs should be golden anyway.
Cool wavy picture, great abstract expresion - and truly I've seen no elves there either. Cheers, NJ

Hi Andre, this of course has a luxagraphical feel to it. ;)
I would have guessed that this was some kind of light on water. Grass, eh? ;) It does look like hair in the water, and the blue tinting is - COOL!

Hi Kes,
I think I told you that I had a few images that were similar to a couple you had in your portfolio. (underwater scenes) I just got around to trying a couple last night. This one is a bit abstract, and a lot of people might not be able to guess what it is at first. This is where the About comes in handy.
This is one of those images that I think really suffers with the small thumbnail images.

Excellent natural patterning in this lovely abstract study my dear Andre and I love the toning to this, it looks wonderful. I look forward to your next post. BTW...I love those shots of the tennis stars you posted whilst I was 'off' site......excellent stuff my friend. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray:)

Thanks Ray,
I'll be off for a few days... Boston and Cape Cod. Should have something to post out of that :)
Thanks for visiting again.
I figured the tennis stars could go up for the US Open. Maybe I'll do some more for next year's Wimbledon:)

Hi Thilo,
Having a sense of humour is sometimes a very under-rated quality. :)
Sometimes we take ourselves much too seriously and have to take a step back and relax a bit.

Cool shot. Seems to be the topic of the day..painting with light is an old phrase. Like it and will try to paint with the moon or an equally bright street light one day or night. regards Ron.

The light streaming through the gentle rolling waves are what cause that Painting with light effect, I think? I've seen some done with moonlight on water as well.

Especially for going back in my portfolio to find this one. It's nice when people go back through our images to pick one out that hasn't been heard of for a while. :)

Youīre welcome, Andre:-) I couldnīt help fall for it as it reminds me of scenes from Lord of the Rings. You seem to keep on making such inspirational images without even intending to do so:-)

Thanks Annemette,
I couldn't ask for more than one of my images to remind someone of the mood of that wonderful book (or movie)!
Thanks for your support.
You might like this one too. I was going to post this right after the one above as a little set, but changed my mind. The colours are much bolder, but the theme is similar.

Hi Andre
The cropped photo is appealing, but in another way. Itīs not full of mystery and so narrative as the B/W one. Itīs fresh with good light and colours and gives me a sense of a secluded area where the waterbeings can live in peace.
Itīs interesting, how much a motive differs accordingly to minor changes in crop and tones.Best wishes

Hi Annemette,
I felt similar to you in this regard. The one in colour is a different image though, not a different crop. But, I think that one came out more of a nature shot than a fantasy image like this one. This one definitely leaves much more to the imaginagion. That's a good thing sometimes :)

Dear Andre
Amazing that the two photos are similar in the sense that you did no cropping of the B/W! That only shows how much a photo can change by means of tones and light. Iīm a great fan of suggestive photos like this one that lets one imagination run free:-)
Best wishes

Thanks Annemette,
I try to do my share of images that leave something to the imagination. I find there is a fine line that we can sometimes cross over. If too much is left to intrepret, a lot of people will by pass the image not being bothered to find something in it.
On the other hand an image might touch some people in ways that you don't expect. :)
