whimsical.

Great detail!

Very subtle and very cool!

given to whimsy or fanciful notions; capricious.

I totally wanted to stretch the box here... the box I am always in when it comes to photography. Once again, this photo isn't perfect... but I am glad I did something different and spent more time thinking about how I wanted it to look. I would like to try to do something more like this more often. It is fun!

Yeah- it is fairytaleish... unrealistic... but that was what I was going for!

Please help me out with your comments! I need them!

[It took me about 3 hours to do this! Plus, I don't have photoshop- I used GIMP!]

Perfect title! Your doing good!
Whenever I get an idea for a picture I write it down on a little note pad so when I get the chance I can work on it.

Oooh! I had an idea ! This would look really cute too if you were holding onto a balloon (not the big hot air ones but a helium one, maybe red). Maybe even a bunch of them. Balloons always look whimsical :) Not trying to be mean or anything, just throwing out ideas.
