dubonnet's photostream
|

I love photography and art of all kinds. I'm primarily known for my florals but I am inspired by all of nature. I'm attracted to vivid color but I love soft pastel pallets too !
I like to dabble in Photoshop, doing the odd fantasy creation! I also write poetry now and then.
I live with my wonderful husband and 2 Ragdoll cats.
My favorite flowers are roses and orchids, but I love so many others too....peonies, lilacs and the list goes on.
I keep my contact list small and manageable..I like to visit my contacts and would like them to reciprocate.
Please do not make me a contact if you have no buddy icon or photos available to me, fave and run, 100s and thousands of contacts, porn and restricted images. For those things I may block you.

"I became acquainted with Sharon's work over the last year. She has created a beautiful body of work that shows nature at it's finest. She loves what she's doing and it's obvious in her artistic photographs. We are of a like mind in our love of nature and photographing its beauty. Sharon is quick to offer a kind word and supportive comment.

Irene Steeves says:
""Each time I browse through Sharon's photostream, I am simply awestruck by the beauty of her work. Every image is a masterpiece, a combination of light, shadows and colour that leave the viewer wanting more. I'm especially fond of her oriental creations; they capture the beauty of the art. Her floral images are true to every detail, perfect in every exposure and inspiring in every way.
Sharon mastered post-processing techniques, making her photos truly extraordinary.
I encourage you to sit down and take some time looking through the work of this outstanding photographer and artist, you will not be disappointed.
I am greatly honoured to be one of her Flickr contacts.""16th December, 2010

"I have been enjoying Sharon's creative works of art and photography for a long while. Her skilled and sensitive photo shopping abilities have inspired me and even taught me how to bring out more of my soft side. There are other wonderful artists on flickr, but I feel it is rare to find one that is able to be really good artistically in more than one area. Sharon's work with floral and layers is nothing short of stunning- very moving, so sensitive and full of love. And her fantasy art is as impressive and visually satisfying. Must also note how terrific she is in creating gorgeous fractals. And, I am not disappointed when visiting her flower set. Sharon brings out the same sensitivity and balance capturing flowers as she does creating her art.
I am thrilled to be your flickr friend and know I will continue to enjoy your work for a long time to come.
Hugs :-) Renee"3rd August, 2008

You won't be disappointed when you take the time to sit back and enjoy her beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing your skills with us, my friend, and I look forward to your future creations. You have an admirer in me."11th July, 2008

"Sharon is a great Flickr friend! I just enjoy her photos so much, they are each more beautiful than the next.... the cat shots are probably my favorite, but the flowers, the fantasy artwork and all the others are just as wonderful.

You can't go wrong looking at her photostream, take it from me!"8th June, 2008
