Wonderful post processing treatment on this image that compliments, (not overwhelms), what is a strong composition all on its own.

Ray dearest this is a Le Meriden Hotel room so there is no "homey" or personal items anywhere.. i loved the lights and the mirrors in the room that i really had to take a photograpgh of it... the large mirrors can be found on all three corners of the room (four including the large windows)so its a little tricky so as not to include my self in the picture..
...( The first lesson i learned before i started photography : always utilize available light within the room to enhance photos and feel of the atmosphere and that using flash isnt always necessary..)
i am a Filipino dear but i work as an OR nurse in Abu Dhabi, one of the seven emirates of UAE...so most of all the photos are taken in UAE. Its rather hard for females to go out alone and go to places here even if it is an open country. its another reason too that my subjects are just limited around my house, or the small things in the confines of my room.i wanted to visit more places so i can have more photos.. im planning to move to canada hopefully soon...then maybe i can have more subjects...
im always delighted to hear from you my friend.. im looking forward to hear more from you..

Huggss to you too dear Ray... i wish you are ok too... yes, i was broken lately and although its very hard for me... i managed to be happy again.. for i have found a new love...photography... it healed me so much...likewise, this phenomenal book series "The Twilight Saga" gave me more comfort than i have wished for... i was hoping that i could capture some of the wonderful words and atmosphere in those marvelous books together with my new found art of photography...indeed time heals deep cut wounds..
hope to learn and hear more from you my dearest...

Lovely details in the plumage sweetie and I especially love the little catch light in it's beady little eye. An unusual perspective and an excellent capture. Well done yet again my dear Wena. Go on then, have another great big HUUUUUG along with some more best wishes of course.......Ray

A room full of mirrors and not one reflection of you my dear Wena . Another original piece from you. Is this where you live sweetie? While I think of it....I'm confused (nothing new there then) WHERE do you live??? I see that your photography bears a United Arab Emirates address in contrast to the address in your biography. There's a stort here, are you going to tell me about it???? More extra BIG HUUUUUGS and best wishes.....Ray

Beautifully posed and composed my dear Wena in wonderful mono tones. I love the bold crop utilising the hair to frame the top and side of this excellent portrait study and the blurred shoulder to frame the base. The soft focus creates a mystery surrounding your lovely model sweetie. Well done to you for this wonderful creative shot. More HUUUUUGS and best wishes.....Ray

'Look after my heart...I've left it with you'. Wonderful emotive and romantic words my dear Wena. I hope your little heart isn't too broken sweetie and that the reason for it leaves you soon and repairs itself. Time is, after all, a wonderful healer.
A lovely idea for a photograph and not an easy one to capture, well done to you my lovely new friend. Thinking of you and wishing you renewed happiness. A great big HUUUUUUG to cheer you up............Ray

Another beautifully balanced composition from you my dear Wena and an excellent wildlife capture. Lovely rich tones and great clarity but surely I can spot five little birds sweetie. Right at the tip number four is obscuring number five . An impossible odd number as they approach the mating season . Well done to you my dear friend a wonderful shot. Another big HUUUUUUG and more best wishes......Ray

Here I am my lovely Wena, at last I can make a start on catching up with everyone and especially you, my latest friend. I will probably post something next week at some time but in the meantime I must look at as much of my friends' work as is possible.
I love the title of this shot Wena and the message that it conveys. If nothing else we should never lose hope. Candles always manage to symbolize peacefulness, romance, contentment, harmony and many other positive emotions. Hope that all these things can be achieved throughout these troubled times is all that we can do. Wonderful tones and a lovely balance to this delightful composition. Well done to you sweetie. A great big HUUUUUUG and my very best wishes to you........Ray

long ago,in a movie titled Buddha,the Satan have never been able to dim one of those oil lamps,that was offered sincerely by a very old woman who sold her hair to buy the oil for the lamp,and that Satan or the dark forces have been able to dim all the others lamps including those of the riches,princesses and kings,
