whoa! i love these non sequitur effects that you are placing into some of these otherwise 'normal' pics! what were you feeling here? does it tie into the title? very intriguing! :)

@dj.tigersprout: Well Dj, here's the explanation. There was this teenager and there was a car. The car was irritating me, so I thought, brilliantly, let's gete rid of the car. So I went to 'clone stamp' it out, and it gave me blue bubbles, and being esay going I said, ok then!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

This is intriguing, Lorraine. What is it that you blocked out, or are you portraying a daydream of some sort?

7 Sep 2008 8:38am

@Judy: Well it goes like this Judy, since you asked. Wait I have to got copy and paste my comment to Dj...no wait, go read my answer to Dj ;) lol

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia

A very different and interesting image Lorraine, a great inspiration, keep them coming!

7 Sep 2008 8:50am

@Kylie Greenan: Only 'cause I'm easygoing Kylie, for a smarter explanation see my response to Dj ;)

Martie from Versailles, United States

Teenagers indeed! Creative composition - very enjoyable. Again, love the B&W with just the touch of colour!

7 Sep 2008 9:07am

@Martie: It's been a while for me lol ah but Martie, my head is till in a bubble OR check my answer to Dj ;) thanks so much!

MJ from Delaware, United States

interesting effect .... I like the b/w... My judgement is still out on the balloons.....

7 Sep 2008 12:01pm

@MJ: It's not my doing MJ It's my computer's I swear ;)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

You are a crazy lady Lorraine. I can actually see the back wheel of that annoying car just below the teenager's backpack. It came out pretty good though. I love that we never know what to expect from you. Have a happy Sunday. xoxo

7 Sep 2008 12:24pm

@Marion: I wonder sometimes about me, you're so generous in your praise, thanks dear Lady ;) x

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

You had some fun with this one, Lorraine. Teenagers can be annoying/endearing take your pick and clone to your hearts content. Shock us anew!

7 Sep 2008 12:38pm

@Michael Skorulski: I really like the blue, of course it's not half as good as I think, but it was so unexpected lol what else could I do...You're so charming :)

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France

cette composition reste un mystère pour moi !!! le logiciel et ses secrets inavoués lol
on dirait des ballons, des tomates bleues (je vois de la nourriture partout moi lol c'est grave docteur ?)
et envie de donner un grand coup de pied dans ces bulles bleues pour voir si, en éclatant dans le ciel, une pluie d'étoiles scintillantes viendra recouvrir mon visage, comme un spray de soleil .............
heu oui, je vais prendre ma tisane apaisante !!! (rires)
elle n'a pas l'air vraiment décidée à aller au lycée la demoiselle ...

7 Sep 2008 1:14pm

@marianne: Non, que tu vois des tomates, est extraordinaire, tu pourrais voir une tarte au bleuet, quel talent ;)
et voici l'histoire de cette image, il y avait une auto qui me tapait sur les nerfs, donc j'ai voulu l'enlever par l'entreprise du programme photoshop, qui donne la possibilite d'enlever quelque chose en copiant un autre aspect de la photo sur ce que tu ne veux pas...ca s'appelle (clone stamp) et en pesant sur le 'clone stamp' et en cliquant sur l'auto fatiguante, sont apparues, au lieu de la rue, de bulles bleues, donc j'ai dit Ok.:) c'est toujours moins long en anglais lol oh ton commentaire est tres poetique, tu chantes tres bien :)

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Hi Lorraine, I see here that your fantasy has been working overtime, but the bubbles are now the main component of the frame, it must have been a really bad car...? Cool experiment.

7 Sep 2008 1:55pm

@Observing: Not that bad really lol I still have no clues as to why these bubbles appeared and from where...ah me and technology, we have some preciously weird moment, thanks always Mike ;)

Hans from Heiligeneich, Austria

interesting work to hide a car ;-)

7 Sep 2008 2:39pm

@Hans: My computer must despair at the sight of me ;) thanks Hans!

terrorkitten from Bath, United Kingdom

was someone mooning out of the window? We need to talk ;)

7 Sep 2008 3:25pm

@terrorkitten: I...ahh what? are you thinking of the dog in the window photo?

Marcie from United States

Very clever!! I like it!!

7 Sep 2008 4:15pm

@Marcie: It's a bit idiotic to tell the truth, but you know, it's fun ;) thanks a lot Martie!

Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada

... just wait a second, and a superhero is going to jump out of the bubble cloud, which in fact is a portal to the future, to save the girl and therefore changing the time-space continuum....

This is very cool !!!

cheer
Roman

7 Sep 2008 4:17pm

@Roman: gosh you're even sillier than I am lol kidding! Great story though!!!! Thanks Roman :)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore

at first i was imagining the bubbles sympbolised the angst that teenagers go through..so you were showing your 'angst' towards that irritating car!i like this.Somehow i dont really look forward to Caleb and Ian growing up.I'll be calling you for advice and listening ear when they reach this age:)

7 Sep 2008 5:14pm

@tyan: Moms always know best, you do too, and you will then ;) the car annoyed me lol

laughingwolf from Canada

how many kids have thrown their backs, shoulders, and lives outta whack trying to carry too heavy packs? :(

7 Sep 2008 5:48pm

@laughingwolf: isn't that the truth!!!

Jasp from Plymouth, United Kingdom

You were one once you know !

7 Sep 2008 6:09pm

@Jasp: I was! geesh...and I only had one bubble!

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

I was wondering at first what is this, an alien thing, the daydream of a teenager, then I read your explanation. What I thought was perhaps a deep symbolic image that I would not maybe be able to understand was just the not liking an irritating car, I have to admit I've removed a cow in a field that was bothering the image I had in mind. I do like the girl just standing there.

7 Sep 2008 6:28pm

@JoeB: There is no explanation nor sane reason for this photo Joe :)

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

LOL! Very creative processing. You pictured their minds wonderfully, they just aren't aware of the world because they have their own, and any other worlds have to adjust theirs. Can be dangerous, especially in traffic.

7 Sep 2008 6:46pm

@Illuci: Well I like your explanation, it makes me look smart and perspective, I assure you Erik, there is no reasoning behind this photo :)

Nina from Hamburg, Germany

A mysterious blue bubble cloud...what could be their message? Now I take this interpretation...you are creative, Lorraine! :)

7 Sep 2008 8:31pm

@Nina: Lovely compliment, I wish I could take credit for it, you're too sweet NIna, there is no logical explanation for this photo :)

Namaki from Bordeaux, France

the thing is that with all those bubbles the teenager sticks out better on the picture ... interesting experience !!

7 Sep 2008 9:00pm

@Namaki: It's true isn't it Namaki, and yet i assure there are no logical explanation, thanks a lot :)

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

I think my 14 year old son has similar bubbles emanating from his person, it must be some kind teenage angst thing or something I'm probably too old to remember.

I read your explanation, and I must say, if thats what your clone tool does, it must have found a supply of amazing digital hallucinogens..LOL..and my Photoshop has now requested a supply of the same substance.

7 Sep 2008 9:54pm

@Richard_Irwin: Well, since there are no logical explanations for this photo or this computer, I am hereby directing this Cs2 photoshop to tansmit via this message the required amount of digital hallucinogens. Let's see what you put up tomorrow. ;)

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

Je me demandais quel pouvais être l'origine de ce drôle de truc... et puis j'ai lu l'explication que tu as faite à Marianne... je t'ai imaginé t'énervant sur photoshop avec le tampon de clonage, comme ça m'arrive de le faire quelques fois quand je ne réussis pas ce que je veux faire... ça m'a fait bien rire. Je viens de finir toutes les photos du mariage, demain je leur donne le CD... je suis crevée... dodo.

7 Sep 2008 10:41pm

@Evelyne Dubos: ha oui je me souviens bien de ce moment inexplicable lol j'assume aucune logique...tes photos de mariage sont sans pareil j't'assure, ils vont être tout à fait émerveillées!

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

If it feels good, then do it, Lorraine, that's what I say :) very creative.

7 Sep 2008 11:19pm

@MaryB: lol Thanks MaryB, apparently it felt good to the 'puter, 'cause I had nothing to do with it ;)

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

Etrange en effet, apres lecture de ton explication. On devine encore une des roues de la voiture.

8 Sep 2008 12:33am

@akarui: N'est ce pas? lol merci beaucoup Olivier :)

Barbara from Florida, United States

It is alien for sure and if you capture an image of the nearby UFO it arrived on then you have a million dollar shot.
I like the pose of the student and goes well in B&W.
That back pack looks heavy.

8 Sep 2008 12:34am

@Barbara: mmm interesting Barb, I like your point of view, UFOs came then saw that Ego had already been beaten outta me so they left, uninterested ;) figure that one out sweety lol

Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand

OH! des tomates bleue, sur quelle planète ? un traitement audacieux lorraine.

8 Sep 2008 1:35am

@Siam: Siam, cette photo n'a aucune logique, j'aimerais pouvoir dire que je suis audacieuse mais l'audace provient plutôt de l'ordi ...merci beaucoup :)
