........a good combination of technique and imagination! The Man is my husband, it was his birthday today......he got 67 and we celebrated quietly just the two of us.I'm happy that he is alive and I cherish every moment I have him by my side. He had a difficult time in 2006 with a stomach cancer surgery and heart problems,too. He recovered beautifully and the year 2007 saw him getting back to his own self. He is a man of many talents and by far a much better photographer that I'll ever be!

@Ina: Thank you, Ina, for your kind words of appreciation! Gabriela
A very loving photo. It's clear how much you care for him just in the way you've photographed him. I hope you two have many more happy years of taking and sharing photos together.

Really nice composition, Gabriela. I love the carpet of leaves and surrounding trees. There are so many interesting tones and textures there. It's a pleasing and real shot. Hope your husband maintains excellent health. Michael

Happy birthday to you, Yoshiyuki, and bless your loving wife! I love your composition, Gabriela. You have anchored your photo with your subject. The carpet of leaves, to me, represents a long life ahead for the two of you, open to many wonderful experiences. Give him a birthday hug for me!

@Porcsin: Thank you for the visit! It you look at my "about" or inside my portofolio, you can find photos of me taken by my husband. Regards, Gabriela
You can see how critical he is on his work. I'm so happy for you that you both came through the difficult time! My wife thinks the same about me and I don't agree (this is our fundamental disagreement), I also put her on a throne and she also disagrees!! Despite these fundamental disagreements we stay together :). I'm 62 and I hope the ordeal of your husband will pass my door but you never can tell. He deserves the camera and I wish him much photopleasure with you together, maybe you can post some of his work? BTW I find your work excellent, especially the plant mats you posted recently!
