Marla, you truly are a talented woman! True artist. I love getting to know everyone’s background from these little blog snippets.
This week your image just takes my breath away! Stunning.
Thank you Traca for all your lovely compliments today!
first of all, this is a thing of beauty…my goodness, marla, what would you be doing with a great macro lens? every week, you seem to offer something so lush, sometimes abstract, always stunning and perfect. while i am drawn to people, you make me want to stare into this beautiful “eye” all day. AMAZING photo. you are an artist in so many ways.
Thank you so, so much Amy! I so appreciate your encouragement. =)
This is magnificent Marla. Your images always leave me inspired. Awesome.
Thank you so much Karen!
speechless…absolutely gorgeous! …thanks for sharing part of your story, journey with us too! It’s so fun to hear your beginnings and gives me hope to one day be where you are! This lighting and color, and composition…everything about it, is perfect!
Thank you for your kind words Laurie! One of the great things about photography is that it is a very technical art form and there are so many resources to learn those technical aspects. I can attribute my capabilities to a lot of study and a lot of practice. I have atrocious images from way back when, but I learned from them. So keep practicing and learning. As long as you don’t give up, you will continue to get better and better!!
Marla, this is amazing. You photography inspires me!
