About The way to "uglify" a magnolia...
Why? Because I felt like it... It is almost "crude", and perhaps an insult to the usually delicate wonderment of these lovely blooms.
Perhaps I was influenced to do this with the poor magnolia, since Spring is not warm here. It is cold and almost uninspiring.

I don't expect any kind comments at all :) But all constructive comments appreciated.

Oh My Aniko ...we did not have much of a summer and our fall is fairly non-existant as well-hah!! I do know how You must feel about spring being Cold :-))

I like this beautiful image because it is different - and not ugly in any way -

Cheer up everything can always be worse and I know You know this too :))

I really like your work...and I really don't like how you feel...I can feel you are very tired and unhappy...but it will be past my friend,you must think positive,and must try to feel better...even I know how hard it is....
But put smile on your face and think how wonderful life can be...

Spring is warming up here each day Aniko, and I hope it follows suit for you. Yes, Magnolias are a beautiful flower, but your interpretation is very artistic with that textured look. Hope the weather brings better things for you soon
Cheers
Liz

Hi Michele!!!

No, we didn't have much of an autumn, and spring really has had not had many warm days. (I have not yet worn short sleeves for example...) Hopefully, we will have some warmer weather soon. It was sunny here earlier, but the clouds have stolen the sun yet again.

You do not find this ugly? Thank you! I do... lol.. but in a sort of "painterly" fashion.

Today is not my favourite day, but yes, things get worse, better, worse etc...

Your visits and comments are always appreciated, my friend.
Hugs~
Aniko :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/5/2007
My Dear Biljana!

Thank you for your kind words about my work. We all see in different ways, and as I know how beautiful this bloom was, to me it not so beautiful now... but that was the point of it.

I don't much like the way I feel either... and you are right... I am very tired and unhappy. Today is not a good day in particular.

I will be OK! Thank you for your Love and concern and your kind comments regarding the magnolia.

Love and Hugs~
Aniko :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/5/2007
Hi Liz!

Thank you for your encouraging comments.

I really do long for some warmer weather. When the daffs bloomed, it was looking promising, but still, many trees here are only "semi dressed" and the sun doesn't shine for long. I still wear thermal underwear! LOL!

Thanks again for yor thoughtful words.

Cheers!
Aniko :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/5/2007
You are very kind, Hussam!

Many Thanks~

Minoo  S.   {K:11773} 10/7/2007
What a lovely photoart, dear Aniko. There is a very sensitive touch to the way it is photographed and presented. And I love the watercolr effect!
A favorite.
Best regards,
Minoo


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/7/2007
You honour me, Dear Minoo!

I really did not think for a moment that the way I "handled" this image would be to anyone's liking.

Thank you from my heart...

Best Wishes to you,
Aniko :)


Minoo  S.   {K:11773} 10/7/2007
Thank you so much for your very kind reply, dear Aniko!

Your picture came form the heart, I am sure, so it is no wonder that it should touch the heart of the viewers too!

Kindest regards,
Minoo


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/7/2007
Thank you again Dear Minoo, for seeing into my heart...

Warmest Regards,
Aniko :)


BILL NAGY   {K:2684} 10/7/2007
Hi Aniko, I like it. I would classify it as semi-high key and enhanced by the sharpness of the stem and buds. Good job. BILL NAGY


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/7/2007
Hi Bill!

You are so kind coming to visit me and leaving such delightful comments.

I am juggling sites here, and just happened to see your post!

Thanks again, my friend.

All the best to you,
Aniko :)


BILL NAGY   {K:2684} 10/7/2007
Hi Aniko, I seriously liked your photo. I have noted several times as you talked to different people that you were not feeling well. I hape it is nothing serious. I am concerned. Bill


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/8/2007
Dear Bill!

Thank you for your concern.

Indeed, "things" could be better, but they could also be far worse.
I have always been somewhat a "phoenix-like"... :) And this too shall pass.

Again, warm appreciation for your kind concern, and Wishing You all of the Best!

Aniko :)


Frank Beer   {K:10112} 10/12/2007

Riny Koopman   {K:57765} 10/12/2007
You really have the style, the artistic touch, and the creativity,
At this point, I see your talent is the camera you have,Good week end my dear.


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/13/2007
Thank you so much Frank!

I am happy you like this work that I initially believed would repulse everyone... lol...

Best Regards,
Aniko :)


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/13/2007
Greetings Dear Rikus!

You are very kind and I thank you from my heart.

May my old camera/s keep on keeping on, as I honestly prefer them to digital equipment. (Even though this image is pp in PS...)

Enjoy your weekend, my friend!
Aniko :)


Pablo Dylan   {K:53463} 10/14/2007
Wonderful composition Aniko.

Pablo


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/16/2007
Many Thanks Dear Pablo!

Best Regards,
Aniko :)


Dave Arnold   {K:55551} 10/23/2007
Actually, I don't agree with you on this, Aniko. Whatever you did, you made it more beautiful than it really was or is. Your composition and treatment of it are unique and inspiring. To me, this is worthy of a large print or poster hanging on the wall... in a gallery, too. This is art.

Hugs,
Dave


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/23/2007
That is a HUGE compliment Dave...

I don't feel worthy of it, but very much appreciate it!

Thank you, dear one.

Loving Hugs~
Ani :)


Srna Stankovic   {K:106748} 10/23/2007
Yes my dearest Aniko, this is art and this should hang in some of Galleries my Dear ...
Love and hugs

Srna


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/23/2007
Thank You Dear Srna!

I don't know about galleries these days... I feel those days are over. I am much surprised that I am the only one who seems to find this image rather "ugly"...

Thank you for your encouragement, my friend.

Love and Hugs~
Aniko :)


Srna Stankovic   {K:106748} 10/23/2007
How something touched by your spirit could be ugly ?!
Love
Srna


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 10/23/2007
Perhaps, my Dear, it is because sometimes my spirit feels a little "ugly"...

Love~
Aniko
