About "I doubt not the flowers of that garden sweet
Rejoiced in the sound of her gentle feet;
I doubt not they felt the spirit that came
From her glowing fingers through all their frame."

G P   {K:9768} 1/16/2008
Dear, Shirley, this is beautifully idea and passionate work, but honestly it’ sees this vertical tight composition has too many elements which hard for my eye stay in your subject, also the circle has too! I don’t know all I wand is to see great works I’m not a picky but had noticed most of my constrictive comments have turned and benefit
The photographer of getting awarded instead! Also has seen obvious flaws winch the photographer make me seen as the wrong one kind of turn me in as the BAD one, all this are facts and little tire it and the same time trying
Working on my own works plus all this has cause loosing support soon no one will look no matter what my postings are
because of to much ego and prejudice
Take care my friend, Shirley!!!
All my best!!
Harry

Shirley D. Cross   {K:138829} 1/17/2008
Dear Harry, I do appreciate your honest critique. However, I do believe this is a matter of taste. Some people, including me, of course, LOVE the framing. Others don't care for it. In this case, I have to do what I prefer. Thank you, my friend.:)))

Andre Denis   {K:55532} 1/23/2008
A very charming and completely professional look to this one Shirley.
I like what you did with the image around her neck and hair with the flower garland. At first glance I almost missed that it was a composite of some sort. Also the way her hair on her cheek flows in the same direction as the oval frame, is a nice touch.
There is a lot of nice work here that is also quite subtle.
Great job!
Andre


Shirley D. Cross   {K:138829} 1/23/2008
Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments, Andre!:)


Andre Denis   {K:55532} 1/23/2008
No problem Shirley,
As you tried to explain to Harry, these kind of images are so subjective and not expected to be everyone's favourites. There are a lot of other images that you have done that I personally prefer to this one. But I most certainly can appreciate the amount of work and the quality of work in this one.
Andre


Shirley D. Cross   {K:138829} 1/23/2008
Thank you again, Andre! I appreciate your honesty.:)))

Barbara Kite   {K:11804} 1/24/2008
Shirley, when you get time will you please e-mail me and tell me what soft ware you used to put a frame with in a picture, and how you did this I love the way it is framed, I like every thing about the picture.
