Nitin from Shanghai, China

Wow! Such a great picture Franz - I mean a painting! Is it a photograph that has been processed into oil on canvas finish or an oil on canvas painting done from zero? Amazing pic of that adorable grand daughter of that rocking grand dad :)

28 Mar 2013 7:41am

@Nitin: thank you, nitin, also for the "rocking" granddad ... ! it's a photo that has been processed with an "oil painting" filter ! ;-)

Doug Hickok from Charleston, South Carolina, United States

It's another gem Franz! Having a grandfather like you to document her young days will be a treasure to look back on in years to come! By the way, the spring images I posted last week were from previous years... I just wanted to give a sampling of what is possible to see in Charleston. Sadly, it has actually been unseasonably cold and wet, and the flowers are spotty at best. Also, I hope one day you can see a cypress swamp too :^)

Jason Politte from Conway, AR, United States

It's a great photo anyway with the composition and teddy bear, but your treatment really livens it up. Excellent shot of your little mouse on her "birthday," Franz! :-)

@Jason Politte: thanks, jason ... not everyone seems to like the treatment ;-)
