Have to say I dont normally like this sort of PP (Im not a great fan of digital art), but this is spectacular

The colour negative has produced a brilliant effect and the strength of the colours (which never appear harsh) are visually astounding

Good job

Fantastic expression on your daughter which completely encaptures the 'what now dad' face that only kids can express

Very nice blues and green in the shot

What a fantastic story

I love the fact that to your daughter that the blow out truely did seem like the top of the world and that her slight apprehension was replaced by a simple love of the place on your second visit

Truely a story that made me smile and a great picture capturing the speed and energy of youth

Wonderful

What a beautiful, elvin girl. Gorgeous colors - the blues and greens mirroring her eyes. The story was great too.

I love this processing, at first I almost thought it was the coolest looking sunset ever! I am going to have to try this sometime, it looks amazing!

Very calming, but I like the cool processing you did with the other one even better.

love the textures on those bricks & love that insects expression !! .. does that book say 'web dictionary'? ... after looking for a minute i realise its websters dictionary !!!!!! .. i didnt think there was actually a web dictionary .. !!! ... great story about miss taterbug .. is she ever offended when you call her an insect?? !!! i wanted to be a entomologist when i was her age so i wouldnt have minded ....
i love this bit "I told her to find another solution. " .. in the relationship between my daughter & myself it would work a whole lot better if our personalities were reversed ... i'm pretty laid back and actually hate telling ppl wot to do, which of course is not a good thing as a parent (i do try and overcome this personality defect tho!!)... my daughter ali, on the other hand has no trouble asking ppl to do stuff for her ... i try telling her to "find another solution" quite often, or say "do it yourself", but most things of that nature need repeating ... she's 18 years old and is overseas right now after being away for 6 weeks .. she'll be back in a bit over a week at which time i'm planning on putting into effect some major changes in our relationship .. wish me luck !!! ...
the E.Coli ppl probably dont like being told wot to do either .. you know when ppl do the exact opposite because they dont like being told!!! ... cutting off their noses to spite their faces .. dont know the results of E.Coli but i reckon it could be a whole heap worse than that!!! ...
looking forward to seeing lucisart .. at first i thought you might'v used it on the bricks but realised it was probably just the pattern .. they're an excellent brick behind the insect!! .. i'm focusing on the bricks right now coz on the weekend we went looking for some to match the existing ones on the house coz we're doing an extension .. we werent successful matching them tho ..
obviously this it too long for a 'post reply' and a pm would'v been the way to go .. sorry, but its staying .. :)
