    Yeah, but can you shoot an arrow at an enemy whilst galloping on horseback across the plains??!!

    Seriously – great treatment and love the eyes here my friend. Very powerful!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Yeah, but can you shoot an arrow at an enemy whilst galloping on horseback across the plains??!!

    You bet your sweet patootie I can!!! Although, there aren’t that many plains round abouts… so I use our beach as my practice field. Those damn pesky plovers make good target practice!

  • Geoff  Coleman - Landscapes

    Geoff Coleman...

    You don’t often see “love child” and “Genghis Khan” in the same sentence – that alone was worth the trip here – but the image is very beautiful Rhana as well!! I suspect white will now be the new black on RB for a while. Really enjoying your careening across photographic genres with a cavalier disregard for starting off crap and then getting better and better – you just start out brilliant with each one!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    It’s a pretty damn wild ride Geoff let me tell you! My cavalier disregard is just a really clever way of hiding the fact that I don’t actually know what I’m doing (laughs)

    Thanks for a magic comment =)

    Took me a while to get back to this… thought the first post looked good. What`s the diff?

    Anyway… this is like Baboushka on acid! And it made such an impact on me as I remembered what my great, great grandad from Khazakhstan (you can imagine how old that crazy vampire is!) once told me. You see, when the Mongols pillaged the citys and towns of eastern Asia, they would round up all the women and inspect them `thoroughly’. The ones they decided to keep received a stud under the lower lip, and in fact in those days, they had little rings on them so they could be chained to their masters` beds. The ones that didn`t pass the inspection were simply raped and killed. Seeing this picture makes me realize you are a descendant of the elite. Should have sussed it out ages ago, but I guess the nickel truly dropped when I saw this lovely portrait. RSR? don`t know who that is, but if he or she helped you turn this one out, kudos are in order to you both. Nice work!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    So what you are saying BB, is that somewhere far back in my lineage was a royal concubine? How freaking cool is that!!!

    That would explain all those crazy dreams I have had lately of snow, and fur and chains, and…. well I shan’t go too much further into THAT =))

  • Stuart Chapman

    Stuart Chapman

    Do you want my take on why this works?

    Summarised a lot more than my usual waffling because I just get this:

    “What a contrast! The cold surroundings and bright white give off impressions of winter and arctic exploration but they are melted by that warm glaze from those enchanting eyes.”

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    And just like THAT (snaps her fingers) he gets it… gold star and elephant stamp for you Stuart =)
