Hello! Thanks a lot for your comments on "My Winter :-)". They are very much appreciated... I also noticed the lack of light, but it was a dreary day... it was nice hearing from you and thanks again! :-)

Many thanks for your comments about “Tuckers House” Lucy. It had a certain glow to it due to rain, mist and light. So I just had to play with it :-)

thanks for your comment on weather :o) is appreciated as not many people enjoyed the mood it seems ;o)
Long time no see, hope you're doing well Lucy!
Take care

Hey Lucy! Thank you for the nice words on "Insect Cache".

i've said it before and i'll say it again, you are a design genius! your work is distinguishable, creative, and revolutionary. keep it up!

Hi Lucy.

Thanks for a great review on 'Nightfall'. Ill put your words up on my desktop lol.
Thanks again.
Sam.

(Ps good luck with finding a job - Do you sell your artwork? - cos you should!)

Hi Lucy, thanks for your comments on Mist Over Windermere, glad you liked it.

Cheers.............

Salut. En travaillant mes deux dernières images, j'ai souvent pensé à tes incroyables paysages. Tu es une source d'inspiration pour moi... Si! Je le pense vraiment! ;-)
Falaën est un petit village entre Anhée et Maredsous. Tu dois certainement connaître. Au château, on peut manger les fameux crochons et la bière "Li-crochon". Hehe!

Coucou Pierre.

Merci pour l'info, bien que je dois admettre que en geographie je suis complètement nulle. J'arrive même pas à lire une carte, c'est pour dire combien mon cas est désespéré. lol. .. Et j'ai bien peur que je n'ai jamais entendu parlé du Li-crochon... ma culture wallone est malheureusement assez non existente T_T'

Et wouah, je suis contente d'apprendre que je t'inspire bien que honnêtement même sans influence exterieur tu arrives a capturer toi même de fabuleux paysages... et oui, je le pense vraiment^^... En fait d'une certaine façon je suis plutôt handicapée de ce point de vue^^... puisque je dois recourir à mille artifice pour rendre une image présentable... ce qui n'est pas le cas pour toi (wink ^^)

Hey cain, thanks for your comments on 2 of my images! (and no, I don't practice Yoga, lol)

Thank you for you help with my photoshop problem. I really appreciate it. = )

Thank you for your interest in Lindifarne Lucy...very much appreciated.....Bob

Hi Lucy, I really appreciate your comments on Winter Bowling League. The colour is a slight magenta tinge added in photoshop to make the image feel cold. Thanks for the suggestions, i'll give it a go sometime.

Cheers.........

Hi Lucy, thanks for saying such nice things about little white flower. your comments are wonderful because they are so specific. please, when you have the time, continue to look at what i post. please make comments even though they might be criticisms or suggestions. jen

congrats on ur winning entry :~) nice work, i like it

Thank you very much Lucy for your complimentary comments on "Spring Runoff ". I really appreciate it.

Hi there Lucy, just wanted to drop by real quick & say Congratulations on your winning entry in the Manipulation Contest ! Your image was beautifully done !

Your works are breathtaking and beautiful, and you are now one of my favourite artists on caedes. You photos really make me wanna go to belgium (much like Joost's photos before he apparently removed them) To bad i can't speak Flemish otherwise i would type my comments on your pictures in it. lol anwyway i do have one picture, which is similar to the kind of photos you take. it's called 'wandering' , and if your interested please give me your opinion of it (if you haven't already, i admit i haven't actually checked whether you have already commented on it). Anyway keep the beautiful art coming.

Believe me Lucy "Painted Hills Magic" was taken in a real place. It's why I keep going back spring after spring. I must admit it is the one place I go that really fascinates me. It changes each time I visit. It's too bad you don't live closer I know you would enjoy visiting. Thank you for your comments I really appreciate it.

Hello Lucy....Thankyou for your kind words on (GWENNAP) very much appreciated...Some people may think that graveyard photogaphy is a bit morbid.It is about having the vision to look beyond what is in front of us and creating an image which sometimes can be more beautiful than reality. Thanks again...All the best...Mick

Hi Lucy, Thanks for the great comment on Bracteantha#1.....and I really love the work in your gallery!!!!!

Chip

Hello again Lucy....Thankyou for your comments on (BOSCASTLE) they are very much appreciated....It is a quaint little place, but in 2004 it suffered tremendous damage by floods and its only now the locals are getting their livelyhoods back...All the best...Mick.

I like your style.

Hehe! I know that the landscape mode is more appreciated on the site. But my preference goes also to the portrait mode here... Thanks Lucy for the nice feedback :-)

Ha oui, j'oubliais: j'ai pris ces deux photos au pied du prieuré de Godinne. C'est l'escalier qui permet de rejoindre le village depuis le chemin de halage.

No problem Pierre et Merci pour les Infos^^

Hello Lucy. Thank you for your thoughtful comments about “Curiosity”. Your comments are always worth reading.

Just been looking through your gallery. Love your pictures / work =).

Keep posting more of it =D.

Thanks for your kind comments on Bamburgh Castle at Night.Brian..

Hey Lucy, Thanks for the comment on "Michigan Beach (revised)"... I'm very glad you like it because all your work is amazing :)
~*~Therese~*~

Hi Lucy, Thanks for the great comment on 'in dreams'. Its much appreciated!
Cheers - Sam

(Whats with the strange white/red face thing??)

lol, I um, wanted something less sophisticated^^

Lucy Thanks for looking at skyfiretree. I appreciate your comments; i.e. overly
saturated and pixilated. I agree with you (as others do). Playing for effect doesn't always make for a livable image. I'am going to post the natural image today for comparison.
Also, your suggestions for smaller or mirrored are good ones. By the way, how did you get the site name +Cain??? Eric eyeyes

the + just means I'm a mod^^. and you're welcome^^

You are really gifted. I was looking at your gallery. Keep it up. I cant wait to see what you come up with next.
David

Hello Lucy. Thank you for your thoughtful input to “Spiritual Freedom”. I would prefer it if it were a little softer so I will try the border idea.

I just realized that you made several of my favorite images on this site. I hadn't noticed before that it was the same artist. Keep up the good work

Here’s a big thank you to Lucy for those wonderful comments you left at “The Old Shed” :-)

hi lucy, thanks for commenting on after a storm. this was taken in kauai and every time there is a big rain all of the waterfalls "go off". depending on the weather they disappear in a day or two. i'm glad you're enjoying this one. jen

hey thanks for your constructive comment on my picture, much appreciated :-)

Salut. Comment va?
La lumière italienne est vraiment superbe.... J'étrenne mon Nikon D70 (acheté en seconde main...)
Merci de ta visite sur 'Romantic garden'

Hello Lucy. Thank you for your response to “Mainly Sunlight”. That photo is something I’ve wanted to do for ages :-)

Hello Lucy. It’s me again. Thanks also for the comments you left at “Lisgar Falls”. I must have driven close to those falls a hundred times and didn’t know that they were there :-)

Hi Lucy, Thanks for looking at "Lucky Lotus". I'm glad you like it. I really appreciate your generous comments!
Dean

Thanks for the kind comments on my latest pieces. :)

Hello Lucy. Your comments about “Flannel Flowers” put a smile on my face :-) Thank you.

Thank you Lucy for those thoughtful comments about “Courting Kookas”. They do appear to have big heads but it’s the angle that makes them appear that way. Having said that though, they do have an extremely sturdy beak, which they use to carry snakes high into the air. Then they drop the snake onto a rock. They might have to do that a couple of times before the snake is safe for consumption.

That's Lucy, the one that has always inspired the dark and poetic artistry in me. Thanks for the inspiration on "Looking through the Leaves". Thank you Lucy!

Hello Lucy. Many thanks for your comments about “Nocturnal Grace”. The sight of a tall ship draws me like a moth to a candle :-)

Hi Lucy, Thanks for checking out my hot air balloon shots. The Balloon and wine festival is a once a year deal and I always have a blast shooting it and getting comments on them here at Caedes.

Hello Lucy, Thank you so much for your comments about “Louth Park”. It’s one of those places you would drive past without a second glance most of the time. But when the light is right it’s a fabulous view.

You are a genious, i respect you

MH

Hello Lucy, thank you so much for your comments about “Trader In The Sun”. When I took that one I really didn’t expect it to work because of the glare from the sun. If this shot reminds you of Goonis then I might have to look for it in the rental shop :-)

hi,thanks for liking satin and pearls.many thanks

Thank you Lucy for your comments about “Poor old Peg Leg”. It’s great to hear from you again.

Hello Lucy. You were lost for words at “Spring Blush”. Actually that says more than you think it does :-) Thank you, I’m glad you like it.

Hi Lucy, Thanks for leaving me a comment on fog n frost! Im glad you liked it! I had a look in your gallery and was pleased i did, i found a pic that i had on my desktop for months at work that i downloaded before i was even registered on here i think! so that made my day!! I know what u mean that fog n frost maybe could do with a tree!! You can add me one if you like! lol, i want to get into manip a bit more, but have not had the time or the patience to work out how to do it and get it to look realistic! ive had a play with one or two things but nothing that i would upload as i dont think they are good enough!!

Salut
"Curves" a été prise tout près de chez toi: près de la vallée du Bock, à proximité de l'ancienne gare de Chansin...
Merci!

Thank you Lucy, for your comments at “Super Fairy Wren”, you are to kind :-)

Hello Lucy.
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to thank you for your kind comments on "September Yellow" but I do want you to know I appreciate them. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.

He oui... Je savais que 'Roe deers in plowed fields' allait te plaire... :-)
Je n'ai pourtant pas modifié grand chose. Il y avait un fin brouillard qui tombait. J'ai joué avec les niveaux de lumière (Ctrl L) et l'outil densité.
Merci et à bientôt!

Hello. I didn't know where to ask so I choose to post here.. I'm just wondering what is it exactly that you do to get some of your images look so soft? I mostly mean your manips. I just get the feeling that you have some special trick for them :P

Thank you Lucy, for your comments about “The Coal Loader”. I’m pleased you like it.

Hello again Lucy,
I'm pleased that you like "Heaven on Earth". Sometime if you would like to hear "The Rest of the Story" behind this image, just PM me and I'll send the longer version on how this image was made.

Hello Lucy. I agree that “The Villain” looks mean and evil. Thank you for your comments about it.

I’m glad you like “Dusty Blades” Lucy. It had a surreal look about it when I made the photo, I’m pleased you can see it in the finished product. I wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Salut. Joyeux Noël à toi également et à toute ta famille :-)

Je m'amuse vraiment avec mon D70. Quelle réactivité par rapport aux bridges... C'est le jour et la nuit...
On a eu vraiment de la chance avec le temps aussi...
Merci et salut :-)

Hello Lucy....Many thanks for taking the time to have a look at (SCOTTISH HEATHER) and for your comments, they are very much appreciated.....Thanks again....All the best....Mick.

Thanks so much Lucy for your recent comments on my NYC shots. I always value your opinion and suggestions.
-Rob

Salut! Je savais qu'elle te plairait, cette photo d'arbres menaçants... ;-)
Comment vas-tu? Toujours dans ces stages de formation?

Thank you Lucy for your comments about “Burning Beauty”. The scene was taken at Lake Macquarie, which is about 200 kilometres north of Sydney.

Hello Lucy, it’s me again. Thanks for your response to “I see you looking at me”. It is much appreciated.

Salut!
'End of winter?' a été prise à quelques centaines de mètres de la gare de Chansin, dans le haut de la vallée du Bocq. C'est près de chez toi, non?
Merci!

Thanks for commenting "ominous times":) I like to play a lot with photos. Maybe because I don't have so many good photos I use them as a part of a weird manip.

I'm very pleased you like "The Edge of Life" and I'm always grateful for your kind comments Lucy.

Thanks for visiting the Game of the Gods - glad you like it! It must be the brightest one I've tried yet so I wasn't sure how it would be received.

Your comments about “Evening Stroll” are very much appreciated Lucy. Thank you.

Thank you Lucy for “At his Post”. I didn’t mind missing out with the Eagle, he can wait for another day.

I love that picture...really cool.

Hi Lucy...I've just stumbled across your gallery, and must let you know that it is so impressive. There are so many wonderful images I could leave comments on, so I thought I would sum it all up here....FANTASTIC. I hope that your talent gets highly recognised in all the right places...best wishes for a great future...J

Heee! Bonne idée la licorne... ;-)
Bonjour chez toi et merci de ta visite!

Thank you Lucy for your response to “Natures Artwork”. I seem to be attracted to trees in isolation :-)

Salut! Aaah! un objectif macro, ça ouvre des horizons...
Merci Lucy :-))

Hey Cain, grettings from New York.
Before I was a member here I would visit Caedes and search the gallerys for new desktops. It never seemed to fail that when I saw something worth looking at, it was from "Cain".
What a way to put your potential to work. Your skill is amazing for such a young age and I hope to see more from you soon.
You have a great tallent!!
Hope you're enjoying your Summer.
Stop by sometime. - J.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Always appreciated! :) Come to think about it I couldn't agree more. ^_^

All your work seems to be amazing. I don't know how you do it....but I like all of it. Keep it up please. I like the posts.

just want to tell you that i am a huge fan of your work, your renders are amazing. keep up the good work! =D

Cant find words to describe this and all your other Pictures.I'm speechless

ive seen alot of people's work here on caedes, but yours by far stands out above everyone elses. keep up the good work :)

and now i just realized that i commented on your work 2 comments ago lol, well you deserve all the comments :)

You are my most favorite artist. You're art is great. You are an impressive person!

Many thanks, Lucy. One of these days, I'll get used to the mousepad on my laptop. I'm always misplacing posts like "Southern Exposure" with a wiggle of the finger after I select library.

I remember seeing the young "monks" having their Class-on-the-grass in the viewfinder. Rather than move a couple of feet to eliminate then from the frame, I elected to leave them in the shot. One of the really nice things about almost all of the Heritage Sites in the UK is the ability for Children and adults to roam freely among the ruins. I strove to emphasize that by consciously including them.

One of the beauties of digital imagery is that each can be altered by the user to achieve their desired result. Please feel free to modify this to fit your tastes. I'm never offended if someone adapts one of my snapshots to their enjoyment, merely flattered that they liked it enough to make it fit their needs.

Take care and God bless.

Hi Lucy, thanks for commenting on "Bluebells", I really appreciate it :)

Linda

Salut! J'ai retrouvé à Gand un peu de l'ambiance de Bruges, sauf que l'architecture n'a pas été aussi bien préservée. Donc, le moderne cotoie l'ancien, parfois avec bonheur, souvent avec malheur...
Mais au total, une visite intéressante.
A bientôt!

Hi there Lucy,

I was looking at my faved Pictures and I really have to say that I saw a lot of good photographers here in caedes and in the depths of the internet, but I really really think that you are the most talented individual I have ever seen in my Life ! I mean nearly ALL your pictures are outstanding, there is so much drama, so many emotions, perfect angles awesome colors and all of them make me feel better and help me to forget about the boring days at work or at home. First it was like holiday for my eyes, but I think it is like holiday for my soul ! I hope that you keep up your work and still post many many more magical pictures :)

Take care and god bless

Cain,
I have no idea who you are, but your work is outstanding. I don't go to this website very often, but when I do I always look at the art you post. Most things you create are deep, dark, and emotional, and it takes true genius to capture complex emotions such as despair, desolation, and hope. Keep it up!

So I think it's about time I tell you Cain. I've been using your art as backgrounds since I found out about your work. Whenever I get a new laptop, updates, reformat, change OS, this is the first place I go. I don't know how much that means to you, but to me you have been the source of the most beautiful and contrasted art I've ever seen. Thank you for making my desktop awesome for 10 years now. Keep up the good work.

I'm not much around anymore, quite sorry for that, but life do get in the way... I'm quite late in saying this but : Thank you so much guys for the awesome feedback. I can't believe it's been already 10 years. Thanks to every single one of you who were kind enough to share your thoughts over the years on some of the images I made. It means a lot!
