Pencil Vs Camera - 57

(See it on DeviantArt)

Sometimes, you find the key to your problems in the dark moment. There is always a magic door and a key near you. The light and the solution aren't far. Sad events can be a source of enrichment too. The bird I drew isn't an eagle or a parrot, it's a crow. Model: Caroline Madison. See the entire Pencil Vs Camera album. The above picture is dedicated to Tina, a special person, a friend and a solution finder.

testing which pose was the best for Caroline):

Crocuses
.

.

I captured this a few days ago in Lille, France. These crocuses were really tiny, a few centimeters may be. I used a simple 70 mm lens but enhanced the whole image in Photoshop CS4. Several hours of work to get the results I wanted. The picture is not reframed, it actually is a montage of several photos I took when I was there...

The main thing I wanted to express here is the way fragile little things can appear big and strong sometimes, and beautiful of course. But your own interpretation is more important.
