[smirra.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for being late. I wasn't aware that LJ mainennace was due yesterday evening, so I wasn't able to finish my post than. Thank you cloudless_9193 for kindly letting me post today. I'm looking forward to your post!


For the dialj advent calender I joined the post production team *g*. I love the digital art and wallpapers that are around from several artists in several places and I did try my own hand with these.

I hope you enjoy!

I hope you all have wonderful Christmas season and holidays!

Two such nice posts at one day isn't too bad, so don't worry. :-)

Your post production pictures are very nice.
Hehe Bodie in action. And I love Doyle being watched... :-)

Thank you!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

He thank you, that's a relief! *g*

I'm glad you like them, Firle.

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Lovely, thank you! I especially like the third one of a watching Doyle being watched.

Thanks for persevering with posting - blooming LJ is having it's usual pre-Christmas hissy fit.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you like him. I like capping, you can fucos on parts of the action and danger the lads are in.

It was a bit frustrating, 5 minutes more and I would have the post completed...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I don't think it was scheduled maintenance that poor lj was suffering through - or if it was then there was much more suffering than they'd intended to happen... But I'm glad we got it sorted out and you could post this morning!

And look at your post - what a fun idea... I think the last one's my favourite, all that lush green, and what we can see of our Raymond looking a bit lush too... *g*

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Let's just nit mention it...
Thank you for commenting, there's no denying that Doyle has some lush feats.

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

These are all gorgeous, particularly the first one which is new to me and a great angle. Thank you!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really couldn't resist the first one– it's cropped some, so there's more room for Bodie's beautiful face.

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

These look wonderful! :D I'm glad you finally managed to post them. Bloody LJ and it's 8 hour Maintenance. :/

[smirra.livejournal.com]

It was 8 hours, that's some down time. I was glad to notice it wasn't only me.

Thank you I'm glad you like them!

[lillianorchid.livejournal.com]

Same here, I was really worried when I started getting the 404 error message. :( Thought I'd screwed something up.

You're welcome! :D

[murphybabe]

Ooh, thank you - all three are lovely, but the last one is particularly beautiful.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you like that Doyle observing the enemy.

[roven75.livejournal.com]

Post production is always a good thing! I really like the unusual angle in the first and second one.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you Roven, I'm glad you like them. Both are cropped some, so there is more of a focus on the lads! It was fun to play with them.

[cloudless-9193.livejournal.com]

Very well done! I like the grainy texture of the pictures, and particularly Bodie's cute profile and the lamp shade in the first wallpaper, the sense of motion in the second one, and Doyle watching and being watched in the last one. It's a montage, is it?

[smirra.livejournal.com]

You can do something with simply cropping and rearranging pics, but you know that, of course. The last one is a montage, yes. I tried something like that with the second pic, but it didn't quite worked out. I tend to cap obsessive series, so montage might be way, if I have the time to do more of these. There are some holidays ahead of us...

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Oh, nice work. There can never be too many Pros posts and pretty lads. Thank you.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

No, there can't! Thank you, I'm glad you like them!

[milomaus.livejournal.com]

Lovely pics!
And I personally was so busy yesterday, I didn´t even notice sth was missing.

So YAY for two posts in one day!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

You didn't missed a thing!
Thank you, I'm glad you like them, Milo!

[potztausend.livejournal.com]

Focus 2: I just imagine Bodie with binoculars watching Doyle watching him...

I don't know what is added to the photo or what is reality, but the bit of bricks on the right side and some horizontal lines/reflections are fitting perfectly.

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Always possible... *g*
It's a montage + the picture what Doyle sees through the binoculars.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I adore the one with Doyle in the greenery!!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

You just want to pick him up and take him with you...
Thank you, I'm glad you like them.

[maddalia.livejournal.com]

Really interesting shots here, and I especially like the last one. Thanks for sharing them with us!

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you I'm glad you like them!

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

Oh these are rather delish!

I love the focus on shape and positive/negative elements in the first one. The contrast between movement and Bodie's intense expression, in the second one, is excellent. I also like the composition in the third pic.

Great use of a theme! :D

[smirra.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them. The first two are cropped some, I like that tool to make e new composition, the last one is a montage. It's fun to play with the lads.
I like your icon of Bodie so relaxed...

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

Just got back from holidays and saw this. Oh yes, Bodie does look cool, calm and dreamy in the icon doesn't he? - This one is courtesy of allwasnew.
