WOnderful lighting Christine. I love your castle. I too like the more subdued coloring on your first post. #6457162

M.Christine Duncan September 15, 2008

Hey, thanks Dave... There was a smattering of clouds which gave me some interesting light at times, and I had left my polarizer on the other lens for the wider more inclusive shots... but it turned out that the light against the clouds moving in was ideal! #6458032

Very "fairy-talic"!!! I'm mesmerized :) Does Queen Christine sound good to you? #6459233

M.Christine Duncan September 15, 2008

Yes, the library IS there Laura... unsure about Rindercella! LOL... did you ever hear that tale? Of Rindercella who slopped her dripper... heh, heh, heh. Or the one about the Pee Little Thrigs? Wait, that folks is the sound of Laura falling out of her chair in hilarious bouts of laughter!
Oh, and thanks for the great comment Laura.... goodnight everybody!

Sounds great UV! If I were queen, I'd declare every second Tuesday a World Wide holiday for no good reason, and make another special holiday for photographers only... lol!

Congrats My Friend...on this well deserved EP... Can't believe I missed this shot!!! Both look excellent... the subdued colours make it look "Fairlike" for sure, and I really enjoy it... (usually, I'm a deep rich colour hound) BUT this is so pretty in subdue colours!!!
