This post suppose to be posted last afternoon at 3.00pm.

However due to the spider & virus attack on my computer. I have no choice to stop everything till now.

I just go it fixed.

Even I have the CA anti-virus from Yahoo & also the Norton; it still don't work.

The technician show me lots of virus & Trojan Horse & Spider from Doubleclick...etc. are all getting into my PC.

I am very upset.

Otherwise , flickr would be the 1st to get the news online.

While ABC, KCAL5, Fox 11 are still attempted to snap the picture & video.

The Mountain Rangers & Police are blocking me to take picture at 1st. I told them I have my rights.

Then I have no choice to back down to the border line that they put up which is atleast 3 miles away from the scene.

Colorful World - 争艳斗丽!!

This is another creative Art by using Panning & Tossing of Camera.

You need to spend time like those art consultant's, looking at the details of each & every corner, at the sametime imagine on the whole picture as an art; what are the image related to the Nature that arising @ your mind.

You are mindful about the beauty of each & every element...etc.

Then you really appreciate the reason why people spent times at the Art Gallery or Exhibition. I cannot understand that during my childhood.

My late father normally would not attend the exhibition invitation. I always represent him at the opening. then I always finish the whole visit , as soon as the officiating Minister's complete his walk around.

Anyway, do enjoy it & This is a great creation.

This is a NaNo project.

In order to get more lights in, I have placed a white hand tower in between the leaf & flower petal.

To all my fans & friends on Photos Blogging, My advise is when you participate in any Photo Blogging community. As long as you know you have done all the creative & Innovative works before the submission.

Do not border about what the other people say, as an artist, it is not easy for one to developed his own style & achievement in short term. I agreed what Michael Brown - A guru of Macro said; so long you constantly review your own work of Art. & You are confident that you did the best of the Best.

One should not over concern what the other say. As you & only you know what is the best out of you.

Picasso is not known in Asia in the earlier day. My late father have been into collection of Chinese & western painting have not actually mention about Picasso to me. I only came to known Picasso in the Mid 60's by my Primary school Art teacher - CC Lim.

Anyway, this is a great shot.

Enjoy!!

Wishing You A Rosies Weekend!!

Is another Friday, Another weekend.

I wish you have a great weekend.

You may wonder, why I have a green spot on this image??

The reason is , in the traditional painting, the artist would always like to paint about "Balance" & also Nature.

Red Flower always follows by Green Leaves.

Water & Fire

White & Black

Yin & Yang


When these are in Harmony & Balance. It gives viewer a joyful feeling, then it is considered as great art or Master Piece.

N.B.

This is my my yard. The Rose is actually on the plant itself..

The back lights is the sun light. Front is using hand paper tower.

Windy 8mph.

Thank you for visiting, Faves selection & support.

Appreciation from my heart!!

This is Bird-nest fern, it is taken with the late noon sunlights at
150 degree angle.

I really appreciate the flow of lights & the blending of the leaf itself from clear to blur at the top.

These gives the feeling of 3D, rather than flat 2 dimensional image.

The image is done with Mirror effect.

This is a great shot of imaginary abstract.

Mum's Delights

My late mum's love all flowers, especially Rose, Dahlia & Chrysanthemum. This color pink is a little un-usual from the earlier that grown in my yard.

Very light color.

The sun light is actually from the back to give the grow of the flower.

One observation is that the color of the Chrysanthemum, each bloom would become lighted & lighted . Until it turn white with yellow green at the center.

These are observed when I am 12th in the tropical South East Asia.

This is a great shot!!

Condition Windy & the flower is less than 2cm.
