Description

Hey folks. Firstly,I'd like to say... Happy Belated Birthday Akemi! In all honesty,I wasn't sure if I should upload this,(it's really just an idea I've been playing around with),but it's come to my attention that yesterday was Akemi's (Nongo) birthday and I couldn't let it pass without,sigh, 'dropping' her a 'card'.(I know,I know,that's pretty lame...even for me,lol.) Anyway,I hope you had a marvelous one,my friend,and that you have many,many happy returns of the day. Oh,while I'm at it,thank you all for your wonderful and encouraging comments on my Halloween upload...

"Here Comes the Bride" ...and thank you in advance,for any you may care to leave on this one,as well.I know it's not that great,but I thought the 'idea' of it kind of made up for my mediocre shot,lol. ;^) Take care all and stay well. All the best, Marlene :^) PS I'm sooooo beyond late in commenting.Sorry!As always,I will do my best to try to catch up with you all.Please just be patient.These two fingers can only go so fast,lol... ;^)

This is so creative on more than one level: not only is it a super capture but the presentation is also perfect. The post work and the drops spanning over the frame is so realistically close to 3D as you can get on a flat surface! The humor is great, I am sure Akemi will love the dedi.
