The subtle greys and hint of yellow in the first butterfly's wings are quite exquisite. I think I should try those in a painting.

Hello and welcome, Florida. I would love to see examples of your work and how you tackle the challenges of real estate photography, especially interior shots that include windows.

It's quite eye opening to look at these photos, Terri. Eye opening in the sense that I see in them great beauty, achieved in a way that I am unable to do, but wish I could do. I am trapped in an obsession with focus and clarity, which prevents me from achieving the dreamy quality in your photos...

Thank you for your favourable comment.

Thank you! Yes, the birds were very obliging to fly over at the correct time that day.

Thank you Donna and Jade.

Wow, thank you for your high praise, Joy. My camera is usually just a tool to record my sculptures and paintings, but I occasionally get lucky and manage to catch an image at just the right time.

A few arbitrary travel photos with no obvious connection, apart from the finger that pressed the shutter release button. Athens Johannesburg (Gay Pride march) Niagara Falls Amsterdam Montenegro

Thank you! The background is just plain oil colour, mainly alkyds. I spend as much time on my backgrounds as on the subjects. I just had an afterthought: I think my technique in the background may work well in landscapes and seascapes.

Yes, I can. It is obviously sorcery.
