p.1 #1 · #349 She brought a smile... and I brought a surprise...


Day 15 of being let out of the asylum and things are looking up. My little green pills that I'd brought along for courage got wet and somehow grew into something bouncy to surprise her with. Bonus.

And she turned up.

And she looked resplendant.

Woot!

Very nice and fun shot, Fibbs, my dear friend! Beautiful colors and a perfect shot for the WA topic. While she looks like a lot of fun, does Mrs. Fibble know about this resplendent lady? Also, what does Matron have to say about her? Best of luck. I'm sure she liked the flowers.

Fond regards,

Endre

What a wonderful photo. Just clever and well done, right down to the light shining on the flowers for extra emphasis.

Great!

Excellent concept, composition, and DOF !! And I like that the red in the flowers matches her shirt.
Great all the way around.

Whythankyouverymuch kind Mr. Endre

Sadly, Mrs. Flibble has been assimilated into the hive mind of the asylum. I fear we'll never see her again. It was for the best, Matron agreed.

Matron is very much in favour of the new resplendent lady - my considerable pill intake has reduced considerably which is saving considerably amounts of money - possibly enough to rebuild wards 19 to 247 with that diamond encrusted pebble-dash. Yup.

Whenever possible I use ISO 5D on my 50 too. Yup. Woot!

Rrrr Rrrrr... *sound of smoke coming out of Flibble's brain*


Does someone smell lemons?

I can smell lemons.



Definitely lemons.



Oh wait. It's not lemons, it's an Ostrich. I often get them confused.

I think I've veered slightly off track.

ISO 50. Yup. I like it too.

This one time, at lemon camp, one of my images told this terrific yarn. It enthralled the audience around the campfire for several weeks. Time enough for me to sneak out of camp, start a ballet school and get back before anyone had noticed. Thankfully I didn't have to divulge anything about lemons during my stay. Nobody must know the secret of the weak lemon drink.

Nope.

Woot!

That's no light! I spent several weeks worth of Marmitey cheese purchasing glowing flowers. The florist assured me they were of the highest quality. But now I begin to wonder if you mistook them for some flowers just carefully placed in the sunnyshine.

Remind me never to give that florist a Christmas card!

Cuh!

Whythankyouverymuch.

Sadly I can't claim that the shirt colour was my idea, but I can claim that my most lovely model did carefully consider her attire. Very resplendent.

Woot!

Hi,

This shot definitely has a good degree of Fibbleness to it. Wonderful use of depth of field, but I love the story this shot is telling. Fantastic entry. Woot!

It's a very fine entry Mr Flibble ! I really enjoy everything in it (well maybe I would'nt have cut the gentleman right at the neck but lower).

Idea, attitudes, model, DOF, flowers choice... Bravo !

An actually sweet and poetic entry. Love the DoF, the "model's" expression and the composition. Great shot.

Dear Mr Flibble

All that practice having your arms tied behind your back in the straight jacket has obviously paid off!

However, i don't believe that Matron approves of this at all...cough cough...stalking young nurses in the asylum grounds was not part of your rehabilitation plan. This poor young girl looks way too nice to realize the dangers of the situation.

Artistically it is superb. I really like the whole concept, the colours and especially her pose. Technically? Well, almost. The little triangle on the left bugs me a bit. It looks like a neglected chilled, standing shamefully in the corner, hoping that no one will notice he feels so out of place. I'd also want a little more "breathing space" on the bouquet. IMHO one step back or a slightly shorter FL would have made it perfect.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
