Just browsing through poetry in pictures, loved this one! I realise this was a fair while ago, but it's new to me. It's just beautiful, and your title too.

Congratulations, once again! Your being selected for BIP, in "Poetry in Pictures",is not surprising to me since this photo epitomizes what that category states.

The framing of this shot and depth of field is classic in lending perspective between the foregrounded blue bottle and the hazy background through the window. The semi-circular,irregular stone steps seem to circumscribe maybe a garden (where "once upon a time I was loved..."), or a walk way path from the house, that remind me of a fragment of a poem:

"We can't see/the singularity/keys,that are steps inside."

Your title makes me wonder what once these little flowers, herbs or weeds were;what color, or simple beauty they once shown forth while alive.Yet,as the poet Rilke said, once the veil is lifted we have moved from one world to another, but both are part of life.The great pastoral poet of England, John Clare, said: "Where flowers are, God is."

This picture suggests this and many other things to my eye and I thank you for taking it.

I think when UF was looking for a 'best in project' they stumbled upon this beauty just like I did a while back. They must have wondered how in heck they missed this one last February. Congratulations Shameless, just one of many sweet things that are happening for you.

I just found this and it is a treasure Gayle. The tones are exquisite. Such delicate and wistful beauty. There is such a fragile quality to the image and title. I can't really express how much this image touches me. A very sentimental piece of work.

Hi Gayle; congratulations on Photo of the Day. I really like the shot, the sepia toning, and your PSP8 work on the jar is excellent. Nice work. Craig

Mark Beltran   {K:32612} 2/24/2004
What a great title for an exquisitely done photograph. Your composition is very nice and free, but in control. Lovely choice of tone. I'm not sure coloring the jar was necessary, but like you said, you were learning Paint Shop. Windowsills are like sacred ground, allowing room and time to think it over so to speak, and even reminisce. What would be nice also is some kind of prose to go along with the photograph and title.

I really like this little jar shot. I have canned pickles for years so know these jars very well. :) I think you did an excellent job on the coloring. I know what helps me sometimes is to blur the edges slightly after you have flattened the layers to make it blend in nicely (in Photoshop but not sure how PSP works).

This has a nice warm feeling of nastalgia to me. I could easily see this as a card with a nice saying on it. The dof works perfectly.

Hi Gayle,
I think we all can relate to the title (some more than others). I just put this in my favorites cause it is so well done (and not cause). 7/7. Your subject and the blueing of the jar are great. Well done. Is that a little spider on the sill?
