1. Whoa!
That wasn't an easy photo to work from, either. Hell of a subject, though.

Nice, dude! :thumbsup:

27. Oooooh Billy! Oh... oh WOW!


Thank you dear heart, and let me tell you again how flattered and honored I am to be a subject of your magnificent talent! I am deeply touched... this is far and away the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me... :loveya: And the fact that it came as a complete surprise makes it all the more delightful. I will be grinning like an idiot and floating around on Cloud 9 all day today. And well into the week. Heck, you know what? I am SO going to print this out and put it into my "sunshine" file... the file holding a carefully handpicked collection of momentos from my lifetime, those which always bring comfort and cheer; the wellspring that nurtures my soul when my heart is hurting and life seems like just a little too much bother. Yes, it is that special to me. =big hugs= :hug:

I wanted to add that your work is especially impressive not only because of how good it is, but because - Rex was right - it surely wasn't an easy photograph to work from, all darkish and blurry like that. But somehow you managed to circumvent any difficulty the photo presented, and pull all the detail out perfectly. Now THAT takes major talent.

=sigh= Thanks again, so much. The beauty of your work and of your spirit made a wonderful difference in my life today.


:loveya:
