Warm Summer Light

Please forgive the whining last evening! Put Photoshop 6.0 out of its misery for good, and finally upgraded to CS2!
Seems to have fixed whatever was ailing 6.0 last night! ;-)

curl up on the bench, hug the knees & close the eyes...feels good.

Beautiful shoot!! Do you think is good idea having kind of "Pepe`s challenge" this week and shoot benches the entire week?

Guest		23-Aug-2005 02:07
So far, I'm fine with 7.0...knock on wood. Nevertheless, your images look fabulous without any processing.

Karen Leaf		23-Aug-2005 01:52
Whew I am glad I came back! Bottle that light Mindy. You'd made a fortune. An outstanding summer scene.

Beautiful shot. Love the colors! You're going to love CS2 - there is so much more in there than 6!

vote cause i like it! the wavy line and then the star and the tightness and maybe a perfect exposure for the light/white and the shadows! very brave nice image, brave to cut the flowers/window in half and not many would cut the legs off... but, Mindy i am with you!!! it draws me in!

Guest		22-Aug-2005 23:29
Very inviting. Can I sit down? Congrats on getting your new CS2,Mindy!

Are you sure you don't live in Texas ;)

David Clunas		22-Aug-2005 19:33
Great comp and tones in this, especially like the raw wood below the bench

Guest		22-Aug-2005 14:31
Wonderful image and mood!!

Neal Nye		22-Aug-2005 12:41
I love that shadow of the arm. So expertly composed. You're going to love CS2 and wonder why you waited so long.

Robin Reid		22-Aug-2005 07:13
Its there now Mindy... gosh Pbase drives me crazy sometimes! And duh, in my first comment I didn't even 'get it' that this is a bench shot too. LOL.

Guest		22-Aug-2005 07:03
Inviting shade ... pretty spot to rest! :)

shatterbug		22-Aug-2005 05:23
Nice shot. The tones and lighting are wonderful!

Guest		22-Aug-2005 04:36
What a happy scene - inviting me to come for a sit down! Love the star cut out, the muted colors, the cheery plant. Very nice.

Brian McAllister		22-Aug-2005 04:32
Beautifully done Mindy. Love the light and shadows.

Linda Willets		22-Aug-2005 04:22
great lighting.. looks inviting

Mindy McNaugher		22-Aug-2005 03:55
Sorry Karen and Steve... this image keeps disappearing! Don't know why! I have reloaded it about 4 different times since I originally uploaded it! Hope it stays here now!?! Anyone else having this problem tonight??

steve mcsweeny		22-Aug-2005 03:41
Ahh,i want to see:) x for me also;) bbl.

Karen Leaf		22-Aug-2005 03:05
Well I didn't really peek since there's nothing but a big Red x. I'll be back.

petesie		22-Aug-2005 01:36
I could say all kinds of good things about the photo, but I want that bench!

Pepe Zyman		22-Aug-2005 01:36
Very cool bench! Love it!

Di		22-Aug-2005 00:33
Beautiful lighting, Mindy!

Guest		22-Aug-2005 00:11
Movin' on up! ;) You'll no doubt be very pleased with CS2, esp making the move from v6.0. You've composed this imgae very well! Love the warm, subdued tones/lighting and great contrasting textures between the bench and bg.

Elaine (etfitz)		21-Aug-2005 23:59
Beautiful light and shadows!

Guest		21-Aug-2005 23:49
Nice light and shadows, I feel the warmth.

Robin Reid		21-Aug-2005 23:42
I have CS2 on my home computer and have become a real fan. Excellent work here Mindy. Wonderful tones and texture.

Guest		21-Aug-2005 23:05
Very lovely, Mindy! I'm ready for the CS2 upgrade, too - the workflow it offers in ACR is just right up my alley. Beautiful tones here.

Lee Rudd		21-Aug-2005 22:46
whining forgiven.... this is a magical photo!

Jackdad		21-Aug-2005 22:38
beautiful work, like the star carved in the back of the seat.

Stu		21-Aug-2005 22:34
Nice woodgrain on the bench

Breland		21-Aug-2005 22:31
Oh, oh, I am on Bre's computer and forgot to log in as me! I want whatever magic you have to give the warm texture to the wood and this great shot. I don't think it's in a box, though. Gayle

Breland		21-Aug-2005 22:28
Wow! If this is an example of what CS2 can do I want an upgrade. Great light and fun comp.
