very nice frame, good ballance and shape... somehow an original subject because of the way you put the billard's balls into the frame.
best regards!

Hello my dear Paul .....

I don't know why I cropped the balls this way - as I was explaining to Nicki - it was my way of being creative but not the way most like to view it :((

I did like the way Sam just tilted this rack - but I wanted the balls to be shown at this angle .... sometimes we all see things a bit differently I guess --- I think I made a mistake to please the public , and my reasons were not that good either -
Thank You for your time to share your thoughts with me - I value and appreciate them very much my dear -
Love,
Michele~

Michele Carlsen Michele Carlsen   {K:146013} 7/24/2008
Hello my dear Nicki - Yes when we meet we will have to have a game for sure !!!
I love this game and play it as often as possible - I love to play billiards but hard to find nice tables in public in this little beach town - 'pool' is what we call it here - but I imagine it is the same as snooker .

Yes - I did blow it on cropping the balls the way I did - thought I was being creative but it did not work out that way - I have learned many lessons the past couple days tho and this is a good thing !

Thank You so much for your sweet comment and helpful support my dear - I always value your time and your thoughts -
Big warm hugssssssssss,
Michele~

Such a cice contrast :
The downward pointing triangle is one of the most ancient symbols of female divinity, as the balls are ... let's say ... just the opposite.
So dear Michele, why not ranking all these balls properly according to your heart and it would be so beautiful not to cut off any of them. It just needs some slight tilting and cropping.
Yes it's all such a beautiful but wicked game,
Love,
Paul

HI my dear:))
I know I would lose against you that I'm sure:)))When we will meet one day we will have a game...OK???Hahaha!!!
Great shot my dear!Love all the details and it is VERY great in the colors!A little less cropped and it would be perfect...but only a little detail! I like it !Do you play billiards or snooker?
Lots of hugs,
Nicki;)

Dear Anne - I think possibly you meant why did I crop off partially the top and bottom of the image which cut the tip of the balls off (?)

I did not have them lined up exactly perctly :(( so to make it graphically correct I need to cut off or crop it this way - I will try to show you what i was working with my dear -
Big Hugs and I hope this answers the question (?)

Hello my dear Anne - hmmmmm I am sorry I am not sure how to answer this or help you to understand - the game is to break the stack of balls and shoot either the solid balls or stripped balls- whichever ends up to be your goal after the break -- then perhaps this is 'Not' your question - maybe someone else can answer for you or maybe I do not know the answer - I appologize dear Anne but I do thank You for your comment my dear -
hugs,
Michele~
