Description
**** Full View Please ****This was an image that wasn't planned on. It was done to affirm something to myself. Some that read my recent journal may already be aware of this recent incident. I recently had someone comment at my stock account on a stock photo I took of my daughter in a very rude manner...I still am not sure why he singled me out for the brunt of his flaming.
The basic idea minus the insults (sort of) was that I shouldn't "junk" up dA with my stock and that my stock was "unusable". If it was unusable....then I shouldn't have been able to "use" it.
I didn't start a stock account proclaiming to have professional quality stock available...I am learning...and trying. I wanted to be able to give back...that was all.
Anyways...this is what I did with my "unusable" stock and I purposely tried to keep it somewhat simple.... I hope ya like it.

This is beautiful! Of course your stock is usable! Don't pay any attention to those who try to bring others down to make themselves look better. I love the lighting in this.

I appreciate that....thanks so much!! I probably would have ignored him but he wrote quite a bit to tell me how much it stunk and to do a diatribe on dA stock in general....he definitely had a burr up his rear about it...but that's his problem and not mine.
P.S. Thanks for the

Dina, you did justice to your daughterβs beauty. Itβs an exquisite, magical image β luminous and filled with enchantment. Regarding the loser who was so nasty about your stock account: bullies tend to be empty and lacking the emotional depth that makes life so precious, and they attack those who are most giving, sensitive and creative. You've managed to take a negative situation and turn it into a work of art β bravo!

Lovely image and I never pay any attention to comments like that . If you check the individuals that makes statements like that do not have anything to offer, other than off hand remarks. At least you take the time to post images others can use who may not have a camera or model or the setting they want. For me I would like to thank you for sharing your images and works

Aww...thank you very much. I know I should ignore people like that...I never seem to grow that thick skin that is helpful for that. hehe
Your kind words mean a lot to me.

It takes a long time to grow that skin or the selective hearing and seeing filter LOL but you will at some point
