After I did meet a few very nice persons in TL ( and there number is growing) I never realised that 'strangers' could become so dear and close in such a short time. The help I had in my photograpy and advices in personal life (India culture is diffrent than western culture) I am so greatfull !/!/!

To that one VERY special person (he knows whom I talk about) I like to say ; Read the top of my re-post!
Also I hope you like my PP, I owe you !( even so the warmest greetings from my bf. )

Vandana

Hi Vandana
you go girland do your thing!
You now what i feel the same way.Well I really like the rose you have sent me,'joking'. You really took this photo in such away that this GUY can reach out and grab it out of the photo. So this guy must be a very close friend.
Hope everything go right for you and your photographing.
Best wishes monika

Well it sure was a process of growt for you Vandanalala :-) It is ok, I did it with pleasure. You where a good student! Love and kisses, your very own

Wow, lovely shot Vandana! The sharpness and details are superb, especially the clarity of the water droplets on the rose petals.
In all honesty I'm not a fan of the subject-spilling-out-of-the-frame technique, but I have to admit you have done it very well. The image overall has a fantastic 3D feeling, so much richness and depth to it!
Great work!
Rew

Oh my sweet Vanny what a skill you have devellopped
and what a nice 3D photo. Who can this mysterious man be?! Big hug for this :-) Bye bye

Hello dearest Family: Vandana and Luc!!!
Luc.. you say: *a very beautiful tribute for that great friend we shared*
At first I thought Vandana was talking about you ?!?
But now .. after thinking deep ( as far a Dutchman can think deep ) I know who Vandana is talking about!!!! Its Pops71 ! Right ?!?
Vandana you are a sweetheart!
Let me tell you something what Luc and I said about you driving back to Montreal after we dropped you off at the Fam of your BF in Toronto ..(thank God ^_^ that was a relief getting free of you )

But serious wat said: She warms every one around her with her sun-beams!

Fantastic photo..VERY well handled..your skills have gone sky high last 4-5 months! TFS and a big hug ...

John T

ps
You promised if we say something nice about you here in TL you send $$$ ..right ?
You have my bank acount?!

Hello Vandana,
This is a very beautiful tribute for that great friend we shared. That rose looks alive with great details and colors.
Cheers.
Luc

Great note. The image is perfect - I like the drops.
Achim

This is just beatiful tribute. I'm sure your friend will appreciate it greatly and not ask for money :-).
Excellent sharpness and detais. The water drops add some freshness to the image.
Well done
Pierre

Hi Vandana,
Very nice picture and the frame improve it a lot from the original. The drops look ready to roll down.

Hello Vandana

what a beautiful picture. The way you did your composition looks so realistic that the person you are offering it to will be able to grab it and put it in a flower pot. There is even a spare one in the back. Oh what a lucky friend he is.
