Description
Vaggabondd
Our conversation,
All those months ago,
Began with
Mutual artistic admiration
And coincidental geography.
Who could have predicted
Friendship and connection?
Sometimes we meet people
Who are just the right shape,
Fill a hole in our soul.
Meeting you,
A missing puzzle piece
Clicked into
The landscape of my life.
Seeing you in person -
I suppose it
Could have been weird.
Turned out to be
Easy as pie,
Like falling off a log.
Like forever never happened.
It was good to see you, my friend.
...............
I searched everywhere, and couldn't find the thing I saw about when to use the Photo Manipulation genre and when to use something else. So I'm posting this as a portrait, and fessing up. This picture was taken in a parking lot, and I switched the background.

excelente captura
lol I love it. it is amazing how you made me look like I was at the beach instead of standing in a parking lot. That is amazing. And the poem what can I say. I am a good influence on you because the poem is just wonderful too. I am only sorry I didn't write it for you. I use to wonder why so many women love me but now I get it, I am beautiful hahaha thank you my friend for such kind words and great friendship

outstanding portrait and I did not recognize without the beard
Hey, a portrait to rival even emurray's best! Exquisite clarity, lighting effects, skin tones and textures in this fine photo of the vagabond, magically transported from the parking lot into more natural climes. His skin reflects many years of sun exposure. Excellent job postworking the gentleman into the background.
I think that he has to change his avatar now! Excellent portrait work!!!
Tara, Wow and double wow!! Too bad Randy's so modest!!! LOL!! Great foto and the poetry is perfect!!
