Hi again Barbara. Thank you for the very kind comment on this image. I'm drawn to the reflections as well. Perhaps there is a little Alice in Wonderland in all of us... to see our lives from a new perspective Through The Looking Glass. Thanks for looking at my work. ~ Warm regards, Rocky

Ah, yes. I see you are a BST (Big Stick Therapist). Always effective therapy. LOL!! I use a two-by-four between the eyes and it (usually) gets the necessary response. Of course, I just need to give myself a little more time to recover from hitting myself too often. :) Linda, you crack me up! ~Roc

LOL! You could see the gears turning in my head, huh? LOL! The thought (adding a goatee) DID cross my mind. :)
Glad your finacee is doing better and will make a complete recovery. I'm sure he will have to make some significant changes in diet and exercise now, huh?
It's good to have you back online again. I'll go check out your new pict. Huggers! ~Rocky

LOL...a goatee....no no no...:) My fiancee is going to have a long road to recovery, but he's strong and determined...and he has me...:) Hehehe...so hopefully he will make a full recovery. He is young and had a stroke, secondary to high blood pressure, but he's very lucky because it could have been worse. The doctor says he believes that he can make a full recovery. It was a real shocker for all of us, so unexpected at his age, but we are dealing with it. Today is the first day I've been able to post an image and hopefully will be able to have some regular time on the computer again. He has to have PT everyday. Thanks for asking and big big hugs right back at you!!! :) Linda
PS now don't go adding a goatee to my picture...hahaha..:)

LOL! Oh, look! There's Hercules in the upper left corner. LOL! How did HE get there?!! He's such a ham! :) Thanks sweetie for the detailed critique. I love it when you give me feedback on my work!
Okay, HDR means High Dynamic Range and Photoshop has a script called Merge to HDR. What this does is it takes three exposures and merges them together. If you know how to do "bracketing" in your camera, this is a way to merge these images together to maximizes the image for hightlights, midtones and shadows (which the script will keep the details in all these areas). The color saturation is enhanced as well. Hope this makes sense to you. {{{HUG}}} ~ Warmest regards, Rocky

"This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone
In these days of cool reflection
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free, this world could be one
In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This should be love for everyone
This world should be free, this world could be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons
Love, love, love, love
This could be heaven for everyone
You know that
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone
Listen - what people do to other souls
They take their lives, destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone"
(original song from R.Taylor)
i hope all is well.. but if you believe in the mother-nature-love..
cheers my friend

Thank you very much Stan. As I mentioned, this was my first "sucessful" attempt at HDR. I've tried to get a good HDR image many times but it never seemed to work. This one seemed to get the highlights and shadows just right. Now, if I can only do it again... Thanks again for the kind words. ~ Warm regards, Rocky

Thanks very much Jim. I like the reflection in this as well. The fish in the water were cooperating for a minute. Every time I tried to take the shot they were crowding around the camera thinking that I was going to feed them (hungry little buggers). They would stir-up the water a lot but I managed to get a brief moment of inactivity to take this. Thanks for the kind words. ~ Warm regards, Rocky

Hi Gail. Thanks for the kind words. I think that there is a little illusion-play in this shot. The palm trees are actually dwarf palms but the angle makes them look like they are full grown. Thanks for looking at my work. I really appreciate you stopping by to comment. ~ Warm regards, Rocky
