Thanks, Peter. I'm pleased you like it. :)Dianna Hauf July 20, 2007
This is most 'magical' and MOST beautiful Steve! I have been ohhhing and ahhing for several minutes now! I LOVE it! I could put a little 'fairy' in there somewhere but I would rather escape to this place myself! Genuinely beautiful colors, beautiful lighting, beautiful effects and beautiful image!! Just... WoW! #4532589Steve M. Harrington July 20, 2007
I really appreciate your comment, Dianna. I had to play with this for a long time to arrive at something I liked. You've helped to make that seem worthwhile. :)Jeana Clark July 20, 2007
Hey Dianna!!!~ME~ #4532789
Dianna Hauf July 20, 2007
Now, WHY didn't I think of that??? LOL! I am afraid I would have to place red horns and a red spiked tail on me though, no wings! ;0 So far, Sara is the only one to wear the wings! Are we moving the party to Steve's now, Jeana??? What shall I sing tonight? :):) #4532941Steve M. Harrington July 20, 2007
Wow, I return from BBQing and discover I have fairies and little devils in my secret place! It's all quite magical. :) Singing? How about The Battle Hymn of the Republic?Dianna Hauf July 20, 2007
LOL!! Ok, I sang/sung a Lonestar song for her last night WITH her back turned (she wasn't allowed to watch me sing, I am shy but Mel peeked), then went and sang Elmo's World to Sara and now I guess I could do the The Battle Hymn for you! Although, maybe I will just hum it! :) #4533242David Pratt July 20, 2007
Steve, This is fantastic! #4533314Steve M. Harrington July 20, 2007
Thanks, Dave. I think it's because of the hmming little devil. :)David Pratt July 20, 2007
Could be, I am partial to little devils and fairies;-) #4533382Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna July 21, 2007

A beautiful, peaceful scene, Steve, and a composition and effectsthat surely add to it all. And I do love that lens flare there. :) #4536321Steve M. Harrington July 22, 2007
