January 23 - Blessing


New babies are a blessing, but no bird photos today ;) the word brought to mind a beautiful little sculpture I saw in rural France of the holy mother and child, the baby reaching out as if blessing. Taken in available light, not B&W or desaturated, just a snapshot as I was walking past, this is the only photo I have of the figures.

  3. When it grabs you snap it.
    Re: My Colour Lettering I tried the Orb shape and it looked so ordinary. I hand traced a line made by the Penda tree after Orbing and used that. It is exactly as I like it. Not perfect but fitting. Like life. Glad a few noticed the words I thought the image was improved by them.

  6. That is a lovely image, warm in feeling and in tone. The soft natural lighting is perfect.
