About When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.

Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/29/2004
Thank you Kelly :). This one is just for me...no money involved, just did it for the fun of it. It's going on 2:30 a.m. and this one kept my fires burning long past my bedtime. I'm so happy you like it. T.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/29/2004
Thank you! I'm so flattered Amna that you would place it in your favorites. It doesn't look like it registered, so you may want to check it. T.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/29/2004
That is most flattering, Roberto. Thank you dearly. T.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/29/2004
It means a lot to hear you say that, Steve. Thank you. T.


Femke de Wit   {K:5289} 12/29/2004
Nice picture, the girl looks like a elf, nice lights. Femke


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:58301} 12/29/2004
Heheh.. magic shot Toni.. The composition is very nice, with a real magic atmosphere.. Well done!! just a small remark.. the shadow of the child is missing even if you put her in the left foreground.. but very difficult to create it..this is MHO :)..
Anyway congrats for this beautiful dreaming shot.
CheersFabrice


yuliazmi RLP   {K:14} 12/29/2004

beautyful image, interesting composition and sepia tone. Well done
Best regards

Rona K **   {K:2375} 12/29/2004
Toni, love the fairies and the imagination. This is wonderful. Can't wait to see more.
The hand is a bit distracting but it is a great photo.


ARMANDO ALCÁZAR   {K:42316} 12/29/2004
wooowww! tony this is another masterpiece, 7+++++++++++++++++++, simply wonderful, congrats and God bless you


Anne Knes   {K:60474} 12/29/2004
Excellent !!!!!!!


Andre Denis   {K:61621} 12/29/2004
This is a wonderful photo. I love this type of sepia. It fits the mood beautifully. It reminds me of the type of illustrated pages of books from another time. I saw your earlier post (without the fairy) That was good too, but the addition of the little girl improves it 100%. Someone mentioned that there was no shadow included. Well, Peter Pan had no shadow either, did he.


David Hofmann   {K:23763} 12/29/2004
I think this is one of my favorites at all here! excelent work, very beautiful, almost like in a dream.


Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 12/29/2004
What lovely words to go with this magical composition
Margaret


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/29/2004
Fabrice, thanks. I trust you to tell it like it is. I was hoping no one would point that out and I could sneak by with that small imperfection. Actually, there is a shadow beneath her that extends outward over the dirt (perhaps it is too subtle). But as I analyzed this completely, I thought there might be a touch more of her cast outward, but that was more than my little brain could conjure, and I was loath to upset the beautiful reflections of the trees. Perhaps I will work it in later so there is even more reality. T.


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:58301} 12/29/2004
Sorry Toni to have pointed out this very small imperfection.. Anyway, it is very very small.. and the whole composition is so beautifull that it is not visible as we are attracted by the magic atmosphere that you perfectly succeeded to create.
Fabrice


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/29/2004
Fabrice, please never feel the need to apologize for pointing this out. It is so important to me to really know what others notice. Often I think we (myself included) hesitate to point out these nuances and go on merrily believing no one notices. While I don't believe in picking on things at every turn (it would be exhausting..lol), I invite my friends to do so whenever the spirit moves them. This is how we get better. My motto for 2005 is going to be.."please pick my photos apart, I think I'm ready now." You always have my best interests at heart and that's what counts. Thanks for that. T.


Tanya Kaaa   {K:1307} 12/30/2004
Amazing shot!

Tanya


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/30/2004
I'm very flattered David. Thank you dearly. :) T.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/30/2004
Thank you for your thoughtful comments and kind remarks, Andre. As for the shadow, while I had no objection to the remark that was made by Fabrice (his observation was astute), the excuse you invented for me is charming...I'll have to remember it for the future. T.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/30/2004
I'm very happy you like it so much, Rebecca. T.


Judi Liosatos   {K:34047} 12/30/2004
Fairies do exist...you need to belive in life to know they are there.

Thankyou so much for your wonderful comment on my image. I love this new series of yours...it is actually quite similiar to my new series which I will be putting together (finally) in about a weeks time. I have been busy for the last few weeks taking photos for it all.

Judi


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 12/30/2004
That's fantastic Judi! I am really looking forward to seeing your new series. It is fun to share with you. Thanks. :) T.

There should be a sound like Tinkerbell, every time someone puts this image in favorites...at least one sounds in my heart. Thank you. :) T.

Khaled Mursi Hammoud   {K:53382} 12/30/2004
Superb composition and reflection.
I like how you included most of the tree in the reflection only.
The tones add a lot to the mood, and I like this cute fairy :)
Best regards and happy new year,
Khaled.

Somehow I missed this one and I'm so glad I found it! Tones, composition and a magical mood makes this a real winner. Great work, you should be proud! :)


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 1/6/2005
Thanks very much, Pat. This is one of my personal favorites, and I really appreciate knowing you like it. T.

Ian McIntosh   {K:42170} 1/12/2005
Well placed in the frame here. More aware thasn the cameras eye looking beyond the borders..


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 1/13/2005
Nice that you noticed and commented on the subject's awareness...you are the first, and it is something that I enjoy about this. Thank you Ian. You look beyond the borders a lot, don't you. T.


Agust Agustsson   {K:881} 1/17/2005
Toni, this is very magical. it must be nice to be able to have a fairy to put in a shot like this. after all, without the fairy, it would be just a pretty shot. I also like the sepia effect and the slight aberrations created by the water reflection.


Carsten Ranke   {K:14461} 1/20/2005
Magic shot, enchanted. Artistic toning. Great result, congrats.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 1/20/2005
Thank you, Carsten. I'm pleased you are enjoying some of my work. Antonia.


Nicole Marcisz   {K:10196} 1/20/2005
excellent, I just love your fairy series.

cheers,

Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 1/20/2005
So glad you enjoy them, Nicole. :) Thanks. T.


Mara Gamble   {K:46} 1/26/2005
This is a real work of art. The tones, the background, the subject...everything is just perfect.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 1/26/2005
Thanks Mara, I'm glad you like it. :) Antonia


safak tortu   {K:3058} 1/31/2005
Wonderfull atmospere with exellent tones...Congrats Antonia


Dirck DuFlon   {K:35779} 2/6/2005
Another amazing photo, Antonia! I'm surprised you would ask me about PS - you've obviously mastered it quite well! :) Only the very edge of her dress (wing? :) looks a bit as if it were drawn in, but honestly, if I didn't know that you had added her in, I don't know if I would have picked up on it!
You have some really strong and wonderful work in your portfolio - I'm glad to have made your acquaintence! Another favorite.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 2/6/2005
Thank you Dirck...I did draw her "wings" in. I was going for more conventional wings and ended up with these, which to my surprise I liked (it was a free flowing kind of artistic moment). I'm not actually new to PS...I even teach intro PS...lol. But I learned how to deal with selections and loose hairs so long ago and I can't remember the trick!!!! I fight with it all the time. Thank you so much for your kind praise. I'm most happy to have made your acquaintance as well. :)


B:)liana    {K:30945} 2/17/2005
wonderful! I love your style dear Antonia!
Kisses and hugs,
Biliana


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 2/17/2005
The sentiment is mutual then! Hugs and kisses to you...sweet Biliana.


Sian    {K:2487} 2/19/2005
I just adore this, and J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan of course. Wow!

What is the vertical line on the right hand side? I keep thinking it's a bit of a rope ladder. I don't know why it is distracting me.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 2/19/2005
Sian, thank you. The vertical line on the right is part of the vegetation, rather than a rope. It's interesting you should mention that, as I don't know whether I've focused on it before.


Gayle's Eclectic Photos   {K:91043} 2/27/2005
Hi,just discovered this jewel of an image!...the child is lovely and has the perfect expression and hair position that suits this image...love the tone,reflections,contrast level and the about words...regards,gayle


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 2/27/2005
Thanks Gayle...I love fairies :) Antonia


Sara Cosby   {K:2704} 3/1/2005
Toni - I have been an admirer of your work for so long, but didn't feel like I had anything worth adding. Your work amazes me. You seem to get that compliment a lot, and you deserve it. The skill and artful, masterful hand you have create images that one carries with them in their mind and soul for years.

And in all seriousness, do you ever teach seminars/classes on your work/style?


Ilona Krijgsman   {K:10405} 3/10/2005
GORGEOUS....this one could be a good one for a book cover........jus awesome


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 3/10/2005
IIona, such a nice compliment - thanks! Antonia


Ilona Krijgsman   {K:10405} 3/11/2005
I did my best I hope you understand this....
not that easy, because I must search for the right words.....she is really gorgeous

if there are miss spelled words, please forgive me....

*********************

Here I dream my dreams
in this beautiful wonderland
with wings of glass
I stare over the waterfront

Here I dream my dreams
over angels and a fairy's
so that they come and get me
to the other side of the sea

Here I dream my dreams
and I fly weightless through the sky
surrounds with magic colors
in my floating dream flight

Mary, I love that too -- gives me chills when I read it. I'm so glad you enjoy my work, and look forward to collaborating with you. Antonia


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 5/4/2005
This is a favorite! I love the tones and the pose of the girl is priceless. She's beautiful and the details are well seen here Antonia. Fabulous shot.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 5/4/2005
One of my favs too. I took the picture of her at the beach (family friend) and she is composited in. (You knew that last part, right?) Antonia


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 5/4/2005
I had a feeling of that - I think it's mentioned in location, but the giveaway of the editing was the wing... :) Did you draw that yourself or find one to enhance?


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 5/4/2005
I drew it.


ricardo longhi-frantz   {K:9666} 5/6/2006

How wonderful to see your work on the Home Page again. I love your About. Now that I am a grandmother, it strikes close to my heart. The toning of your picture is grand. It's lovely how she blends in to become part of the forest. Congratulations on EC. I hope all is well with you.

Roger Skinner   {K:75042} 6/14/2008
hmm I thought this category was NON digital..


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 6/17/2008
Which category? According to who? All my images are digital, regardless of category.


Roger Skinner   {K:75042} 6/17/2008
I was talking about the Alternative Processes Category the UF definition says
Alternative Process


All types of Alternative Processes welcome here. Platinum, Palladium, Cyanotype, Tintype, etc. Note: this is not a digital


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30194} 6/17/2008
Well I'll be... thanks for letting me know. I never looked at the definition, just assumed it was based on the techniques I employed.


Roger Skinner   {K:75042} 6/18/2008
yeah.. the only reason I noticed it was that I was using it to upload Alternative Thought Processes against it.. and was reprimanded... mind you the sites so big no one notices or cares I guess.. keep up the good work
