very lovely,dear L..the soft,dreamy feel and the contrast of the glass and white 'thingy'(haha,pardon my ignorance..)thanks so much for sharing with me abt your little boy...caleb also has to join queues of different coloured cards,and i was just worrying whether he would know where to go when i cant be with him next week. And such a little person he is,i was just wondering whether i was too cruel to let him experience separation this early.I just hope he will enjoy school.He saw that a few other kids were crying for their mommies and he was holding on to my hand so tightly i just felt so sad!

@tyan: Thanks a lot Tyan, the white thingy is an essence burner of some kind lol... I know there's so tiny and the world is so big. Here's my secret, I asked my guardian angel to join my son's guardian angel in keeping him safe. Hey, it works ;)
@Stunner: Thanks a lot Stunner :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Nice shot. The title is interesting. I wondered whether you were annoyed or not that you didn't go out?

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Nicely lit, and super tones. How did you acheive the soft focus?

@Richard_Irwin: Thanks a lot Richard, hitting the softening button on Picasa options...you should get Picasa, it's free and it has simple but awesome functions :)
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
I've seen you post a lovely photo of your glass 'guardian angel' before bot not together with the essence burner.....they look great in B&W and contrast with each other really well....the bit that intrigues me though is the reflection with what looks like 2 figures near a window!

@Ian Bramham: Holy...something, you're right, it's looks like a bearded man and some other figure...Wow I have ghosts. I'm going to enlarge it and see if they're friendly ;) good eye and thanks a lot!
@eddy: Hi Eddy, when two things collide in black and white it's usually an attempt by me to not go out ;)
@Betty: Thanks a lot Betty :)
Guillermina from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Hold on, is that a glass angel? I'm afraid I've missed something here... Anyhow, you should try and "not go out" more often. This is very nice in its composition, contrast, delicacy, and softness. Really like it, L.

@Guillermina: that's my girl G. LOL nope no angel although there are some figures in it as Ian pointed out, hopefully the ghost is an angel ;) Thanks so much!

Wolfgang Prigge from Canada
Très beau avec le focus doux, est-ce que je vois le reflet de la photographe sur l'ange?
4 Jan 2008 3:58pm
@Wolfgang Prigge: Wolfgang, moi, un ange? lol non ce n'est pas un ange, c'est un vase et je crois que c'est un fantome :) merci beaucoup!

encore de l'abstrait et encore terriblement fait. Chapeau!
La composition est sympa et la profondeur de champ minimum me plais beaucoup.
