@Dawn Sutherland: Why thanks a lot dawn :) And hey, if you want it, email me and we can sort something out :) Again thanks a lot for you kind comment, it really makes me feel proud of it :)

@{H} creatives: Thanks dude :)

I'm really glad you appreciate it because it was quite a bit of work. Glad to see it's really worth it.

Thanks again for the encouragement and the visit.

@Juanra: gracias... i think

anyway, try to use english if you can, because i can't speak all the languages...

@zoloper: thanks my furry amigo. it was an instict shot really since my girlfriend has a thing against posing for my shots... so i didn't really have much time. anyway your idea is nice but i dunno i think people would notice and say hey those aren't her prints, she has slippers on. it's a psychological thing i guess.

@kairospix: hmm, your comment really helps me understand something. u know, they always say use photoshop to enhance an already perfect image. and now i get it. this is no way a perfect image but it's ok.

thanks for your comment and visit again :)

@Catalin: salut catalin, nu e chiar asta dar nush, poate aialalta nu o sa iti placa la fel de mult. oricum, e la latitudinea ta :) cat despre photo magazine, sincer mi se pare o porcarie dar ma rog... eu citeam pe vremuri practical photography la british si cand am vazut o photo magazine am clasificat-o cam drept o gluma fata de aia. dar deh, fiecare cu placerile lui. eu prefer sa invat cum sa fac una alta, altii prefera sa vada interviuri cu unii care fac. interviuri cu pusti bogati si oameni care fac poze de produs... oameni care nu prea au ce zice. dar ma rog, si eu citesc interviuri dar pe dps. ma rog, oricum ideea e ca m-am lamurit cu tot ce inseamna forumuri si reviste foto in Romania: sunt o gluma, sunt pline de pustani care se dau mari si fac misto de cei care nu stiu si nu au alt scop decat de a face bani din reclame. sincer acum, ce a creat photo magazine? nimic...

mersi catalin, chiar imi pare bine ca ai stat sa comentezi la ea, si chiar imi pare bine ca iti place si tie care esti mai old school asa.. :)

@Vaidas: thanks vaidas :)

i like it because it reminds me of the journey and the relaxation and the worry-free environment and all that... but then again you can;t really relate. but what i hope is that there is a story in anyone of us that can be adapted to this image...

as for sepia, it's not really sepia. it's a 50% red photo filter and then a 25% yellow one. then saturation, contrast, adjustment layers you name it... did a lot of tinkering with the tones and then tried to bring out the white in the pebbles... and i'm glad you like the colour.

all these comments really make me feel good about myself in a sense that my time spent editing is equally rewarded by all you guys. thanks a lot people :)

@Daroru: Thanks daroru, as i said, this is one hell of an edit... i looked at the original today and smiled a bit. but enough, you guys are making me too cocky :) i'm joking, thanks for your comment and visit :)

@Nadine: Thanks Nadine although i can't really understand what you mean.

@ColNed Pictures: thanks mate :)

@SPunkt: thanks :)

hehe, yeah, that's what i wanted to create a bit of confusion since if you look closely the prints are too big for her :)

again thanks :)

@Catalina: I'm really happy to see someone take so much interest in my work and with such passion. Thank you, you make me feel like it's worth posting all of these :) And I'm quite far from my own style really, but maybe it's coming along with a bit from here, a bit from there and all in all a mix that is wholly unique :)

Again thanks for the comments and the energy :)

@alla: I believe this to be one of my true achievements :) of course 90% of its value is PP but indeed it started with a good shot in camera and ended up what i like to believe is a great shot after PP.

again, thanks for your comment, they're what motivate me to shoot and post :)
