About Gnomes are dwarfs, the elementals of the Earth. Of course I used my imagination to "create" them as I have not seen any. Long exposure photo no PP at all. Alternative title "La Fête triste" (The Sad Celebration) but do not ask me why...a secret...

Merci!! J'expérimente pendant des années dans la matière du "mouvement"! Je tords les images quand je prends la photo, pas ensuite!! J'ai aimé votre commentaire! J'ai utilisé le traducteur, car je ne sais pas le français!

ça me plait vraiment beaucoup.

Et me rappelle un petit peu une scene du film de Kubrick "eyes wide shut"..., et aussi un peu l'atmosphere (je ne me souviens plus s'il faut ph ou f dans le mot...) avec laquelle j'imagine certaines fetes du XVIII siecle, dans beaucoup des villes de l'europe ancienne, le carneval... un mixte de tristesse, de noblesse, d'envie d'oublier...
J'aime surtout l'effet du mouvement que t'as su user là vraiment bien.
Ciao, A.

Dear Mary, I would appreciate it if you sometimes wrote the aperture and the shutter so people like me could somehow experiment on such images.Otherwise, you know..., hahaha!Very Beautiful Mary and actually it is like canvas , there is a waterlike feeling and a mood for festive occasion.

Thanks for your reply Mary. I know what you mean... I also appreciate that you want to keep the other shot to yourself, as it would spoil this image... I'm dying to see it, though....;o) I can only admire your ongoing quest for the extremes of photography...

Cheers,

Hugo

I appreciate honesty, people save time when they are honest! I understand why you do not like this kind of experimentation, looks more like a painting than a photo, and a painting would be flat so it would not cause your eyes to get tired of the blur. I would send the "realistic image" too, or the same spot different shot, but I will spoil this one! Will break the magic, I admit, some shots exist in my imagination, the strange thing is that I try to depict it! It is reasonable that some images will be more likeable than others! After all this is photography and art all about 50% what the creator wants to achieve and 50% ( if this "description" is successfully made) what the viewer receives!! You give me a motive too look at the different apects that my immitating the effects of painting can have as an impact to the viewer. Harmony and knowledge is the asked thing, so I will find a way to achieve this!! Thanx!!! I love both good and bad comments! I answer to most! I am helped by both.
Thanx!!!

Hi Mary, Hope you don't mind me being sincere, but I think this shot is way too forced; most people would've disregarded this as a reject, as it's too blurry, without a single element clear and unblurred. It does remind me of having drunk way too much, which brings back painful memories. Probably that also has to do with me not liking this one. Maybe a fill flash could've been of some use here, freezing bits and pieces, as the there is alot of potential in the composition. I did comment, not to be negative, but because it does have something strangely attracting....

Cheers,

Hugo

splendid shot-- painterly--the figures are ghostly, eerie, and the wall on the left is beautiful. maybe--get rid of those light traces/squiggles?, or even that whole burnt out part there

Love the bit of hot pink in the middle. The fact that all the faces are distorted, the feeling of drunkeness, perhaps the truth of what lies within. Even with the warm toning there is a rather creepy feeling-very haunting and disturbing. I can't exactly say what I really want as I find myself getting rather tongue tied, so I will just say well done, excellent~
