Hi Cindy, After I read your notes I knew I got the right feel for this. I thought it looked like a stained glass window. I love the way the sun is coming up in this and just spreads across the image. It has a nice warn inviting feel to it which begets serenity. Love the swans in the lake and the swirl of the bark on the tree. The colors are just right. I was surprised to see you didn't get a lot of reviews for this. I think it's lovely and a joy to view. Very nicely presented. Thanks for sharing! :o) Nancy

Hello my dear friend Nancy, Thank you so very much for this lovely review. I so very much want to get back to creating stained glass. One day maybe. Right now I just don't have the room to create. You said you were surprised I didn't get more reviews. I believe it's because I didn't promote it with money. Many of the top members buy the votes. You pay to play. I just adore this site for the wonderful ways I learn from other and the cherished friendships like yours I have been Blessed with. Blessings Always Nancy! Grateful, Cindy Sue

Hi Cindy, One thing that never mattered to me was how much someone pays you to review their work. I have to admit that I do need the money to promote my own, but its never stopped me from reviewing someone else's work! :o) Nancy

Me either Nancy, what I was referencing was some strive so hard for the trophies that their work is poor and so many are not honest in their reviews. If a work doesn't warrant a 6 I sure won't give it a 6. There are very gifted people here but some like you and me can't always pay to get exposure. I do feel very BLESSED when a true fellow FAR member reviews my work when it is not awarding much. Hugs to you Nancy from me to you across the miles, Always Cindy Sue ~

if I am not wrong (I hope!) Cindy Sue, this is apparently your own creation; in this case, it is a wonderful work, perfectly executed with very nice colors, excellent harmony and composition;

Yes mine! and thank you. 15 years ago before going deaf from a sinus infection I did stained glass. I would roughly lay it out. No having a ton of space for glass I had to be sure of my lot. I appreciate your time to review. Blessings Always dear Friend, ~ Cindy Sue

Wonderful use of colours here. I really like the elements in use and the sun works as a nice backdrop. Lovely contrasts and ducks make a good touch here. Good job
