You know what I didn’t even think of it at all, wasn’t on my mind to crop it to look like an album ;)

Thanks Roz, and no I didn’t know your middle name was Anita, that’s my middle name too, my first name I don’t go by.

Anyway to answer your question, I didn’t add the smoke (haze) or whatever you want to call it. This was taken at a water park and in between the water sprays they have mist coming out of the jets, it occurs maybe only 3 time per hour, it’s the best part of the the whole park. The mist gives the appearance of a foggy haze and you can see the kids go bananas for it. In PP I did smooth out the haze to give it a dreamy look. Hope that helps, and BTW so happy to see you back, look forward to seeing your work.

To answer your question about the significance of numbers I am aware of a few numbers and their importance but as for 1111 I’m not too sure.
