Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Rafraîchissante composition campagnarde. A consommer les jours de grande chaleur, mais ce n'est pas le cas ici, à 1 jour de l'été on a tout juste l'impression de rentrer dans le printemps....

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci beaucoup Evelyne, l'été ne s'aventure pas trop vite dans ton coin, dommage..;)

@vu@granby - Gilles Martineau: lol excellente mémoire jeune home ;) Merci Gilles!
Cheryl from Texas, United States
maybe i'm just tired but it looks a little washed out, maybe try the burn tool to do some selective darkening. great composition!! carefree, summery feel to it!
21 Jun 2008 1:14am
@Cheryl: You're right on Cheryl, I tried to throw some darkening in it, or change some colours, but when I did it changed the photo in a way I didn't like, so then I cropped it, managed to make it much better colour-wise but I missed the milk jar, so I put it back in and thought, oh well...too bad lol Thanks for the suggestion though, I learn so much from them ;)
@Daroru: Thanks a lot Daroru :)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
We had to use a pump just like that when I was a wee lad. Except water didn't come out when you weren't pumping :-)
21 Jun 2008 2:48am
@Michael Rawluk: Partly why men and women weighed much less in the old days ;) lol Thanks so much Michael
@angel: Thanks Angel :)
