Thanks a lot Aziz, making me happy with your

well the nail may be very useless, but it is very photogenic! ;)
the square crop of this image works really well here as it has captured the entire canvas beautifully under these light condition- which i find really great as it has also exposed the rather rich texture with lovely details and tones.

a lovely work Jen,
cheers,
v.


Ugo Rimoldi   {K:6190} 4/29/2008

Jen van Wijn   {K:17127} 4/29/2008
Morning my sweet friend, I know you love rust my dear, I saved one for for a special occassion..loll
These old holiday cabins on the beach from Muizenberg were wonderful to photograph, all different colours against the blue sea and mountains.....getting homesick for this;)
The weather here is not great at all, raining now and cold too, tomorrow is our Queens Day, so all parties at the street etc. I even to stay on a market to try to sell some of my pics, what about that?;)) I sold 7 last week, somehow people love the big elephants and like to see a lion on the wall, very happy with this, but lot of work to frame them etc. But tomorrow it will as well...soooo lets see what happens;)
Our trip will start on the 27th of June and yours?And is your hus ok now and totally recovered??
Hoping you will have sunny day and warm hugs to help this happen;)) kussssss and dikke Hug, xxJen


John Hatz   {K:136908} 4/29/2008
nice frame Jen, I like the way you 'fallow' here the shadow with your frame, a nice abstract....and even better colors!
be well!


Gerhard Busch   {K:11660} 4/29/2008

These beach houses are close to the water and of course very bad for the wood and iron, all starts rusting there, good place for you to see;)))

Het Avontuur van de Nutteloze Nagel....kon een verhaal van Suske en Wiske geweest zijn. Moest je nu speciaal naar Zuid-Afrika daarvoor? LOL
Vindt em wel leuk hoor :)
Fijne avond en tot morgen of zo,

Alain

Jen van Wijn   {K:17127} 4/29/2008
Volgens mij had de spijker zelf nog wel wat scherper gekund:) Zeker als ik het vergelijk met jouw macro's!! Jij zit vlakbij het feestgedruis, hopen dat het een beetje droog blijft morgen, liefs en kus Jenxx


Jen van Wijn   {K:17127} 4/29/2008
Navond Alain, ik kwam deze tegen met nog wat andere grapjes aan de verkleedhokjes op het strand van Muizenberg, prachtige kleuren om
te fotograferen! Blij dat je het wat vindt;))
Morgen Koninginnedag, ga met wat foto's op de markt staan, kijken of dat aanslaat, maar er is
regen voorspeld, da's weer minder......
Vast trusten, xxJen


Julie Salles   {K:12495} 4/29/2008

Anne Knes   {K:44580} 5/2/2008
Excellent .


1301307 60   {K:40686} 5/3/2008
Amazing how the shadow differs from the original form... the shadow of the lower part of the nail looks so much longer than the upper part when in reality it is almost same length...
also good for the shadow project...
good eye to spot this..
good shot Jen..
regards..


Paul Lara   {K:77154} 5/12/2008
It wasn't useless, Jen. It was quietly waiting for you to arrive and sanctify this moment. This is brilliantly seen.


Jen van Wijn   {K:17127} 5/12/2008
Hmmmm yes it might have Paul, now it will be famous for ever:)) Its great fun looking for details, need to go back to see if its still there;)) Thanks so much, xxJen


Baha Sadri   {K:13856} 5/27/2008

Like it a lot...
