Thank you Wende, Alisha, Andy, and Chastity!!

She was watching cattle play in the evening shade. And Bass were jumping in the pond. It was sooo peaceful. The pond is out in the middle of nowhere on private land. You could hear nothing but the sounds of nature. It was so calming and tranquil. A very nice change from the fast-pace life we live in today. We didn't want to leave :) #3236927

Reminds me of the Eagles' song - "Peaceful Easy Feeling". (showing my age here ;-) I really like this Lavone'. The composition, shadowing, details and conversion are wonderful. This shows her natural beauty so well. I can still see those awesome eyelashes. Good job! #3238406

Deb James September 01, 2006

The tonality is great, Lavone and I really like the composition. I like how my eye is drawn from the bottom right corner up to her face by the dark line of grass and the contrasting brightness of the water. Nice job! #3255352
