Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada

Great colour, good use of light. Such intense concentration in what they're are doing. Looks like all enjoyed themselves. Great shots.

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States

You know, you have two little models there at your house, Magda!
Your ipernity site is lovely and I would have left a comment, but don't want to "sign on" to another thing.

Re: your comment today, you're right, the camera doesn't see sunset colors the way the eye does, but I feel the photos put the vision into our memory banks so that we can relive them! :D

@Judy: Hello Judy! Yes, I understand about signing onto another site.... AM3 is my favourite one and that's where I put my time and heart. :) The other one I will use for something else just because I can upload a lot of photographs at once and organize them into albums. And yes, that's why I take so many photographs so when I'm 90 y.o. I can spend as many days looking back at them as my eyes will allow me! (grin) And I am sure that even though I won't hear those sweet voices those photographs will bring that "life" back as memories.... Same with the colours of the sunset! The magic of photography! :)

Tracey from Maryland, United States

So pretty. I love the concentration. Works great as a series too!

Waow, vraiment magnifique... Envie d'attacher mes ailes de papillon et de m'envoler dans le ciel pour croquer les nuages...

Bill from Belton, United States

What you said to Judy... that is largely what this photography is all about. But it grand that engaging in the act of photographing any subject gives us pleasure and a sense of accomplishment as an additional gift. A marvelous set of the girls Magda!
