Description
It was my son who introduced me to Renderosity, precisely 4 years ago, today ... here is a little dedication for him and -
~Many Happy Returns Jeff~
He was born the same day (8.12.) - the day, John Lennon found his demise.
Unfortunately the world lost a great musician - strangely enough Jeff seems to have carried on in the tradition, in a small way - he also has a love for playing Lead & Rhythm guitar (Rock,Blues & Jazz)
... and I like to add, he is also a bit of a petrol-head, meaning he is an ardent follower of the UK 'Top-Gear' show and has a 'need for speed' - say no more!
I couldn't think of anything better as a dedication for him, than an oil-slick - what the? - no flowers for this kid! ;)
(BTW I was walking along the road, toward the bus-stop in the rain! - when I spotted the oil in the gutter, because our road is currently being re-surfaced.)
Cheers Brigitte

Cool Birthday dedi to a cool artist! Happy Birthday Jeff :)
Indeed really cool this dedi for your Jeff, dear 'mother of'. In the Netherlands there is a saying: he is in the oil. Which means: he drank one drink too many (too many, too many, too many ;-)). Referring to the oil image for Jeff, thinking of maybe a great party, and many drinks to go ;-). Happy birthday Jeff!
Great Dedi!!! Great Image and a "Have a Wonderful and Happy Birthday Jeff"
belle photo!
OIL slick! Who would have thought of that but you?! Surprisingly interesting!
Wow, You do understand your son. Not a picture of him as a baby (just enough to embarrass)or a portrait to show how he is "The most handsome boy in the world" or sweet pictures by "Mommy" ... You think on he and his interests and hobbies . I give you ten as a mother. .. and as a photographer also.
It's strangely beautiful, and wholly appropriate! Happy Birthday to Jeff! :)
Very cool capture and dedication!!!LOL!
Nice dedication and Happy birthday Jeff!
Best wishes to Jeff! You must be proud of him! Very nice dedication, Brigitte!
splendid image and dedication
I love the blended and reflective colors of oil on water, Brigitte, and you did a top notch job of recording it in this BD dedication to your son.
Perfect Burfday piccy, I really dig the tones and hues of this slick pic and as we are getting a new road, does that mean I can drive even faster ?...LOL Just wish the sun was out today, so we could have a swim in the pool as I'm really a water baby, guess I'll just have to crank up my amp and have a session on the ol' Strat ! Thanx BIG TIME BB & ~Cheers~
Super colours in this image for Jeff and I am sure he will be out to try the new seal as soon as he can. What better image to post for a petrol-head and I hope he has a very Happy Birthday. Gosh 4 years have passed quickly as I remember your first postings.
It does sort of have a iridescent look and I like that. We are all happy that Jeff showed you the way to RR.
How clever of you to see it and to put the two together with Jeff. It looks so lovely, I would never have guessed an oil slick. Happy Birthday Jeff!!
Congrats on 4 years of service! :) Great dedication to Jeff B. Always cool colors in oil- as long as its not a major tanker leak ;) Nice capture here!
Zuerst dachte ich: He, was ist das? Bis ich deinen Text las. Eine coole Widmung für einen coolen Sohn!! "Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm" sagen wir. Happy Birthday Jeff! Und....lasst es krachen!!! (aber nicht auf der Straße) Cheers Juli
Why Jeffie's just a young pup then! Happy b'day Jeff!
So what you are saying is that on the day I walked through the Nepalese countryside and discovered Swayambhunath you were in hospital giving birth to a fellow gearhead? What are the odds? I currentlyown a Subaru Impreza WRX which doesn't look very fast but has a 245hp inline four engine and handles better than my 1965 Corvette ever did. A very happy birthday to Jeff. If he's good enough for you I suppose he's good enough for me. Tell him to drive safely. This is a great abstract. Fantastic image and very appropriate.
Excellent shot.
Very good.
cool burfday pic... and you being the loving mum helps things along the way.. now gonna haveta post a burfday greet to the lad m'self.... stay cool!
Awesome image and text. Outstanding description of your sons character and unique personality. Happy Belated Birthday Jeff. P.S. You are one very cool and loving Mom.
OUTSTANDING IMAGE!
Great observation!
He's also a fine artist and animator. This was a nice birthday dedication.
A very fine one for your son, Jeff! Happy Birthday! (sorry if I am a little late) ;o)
I laughed when I read Andrea's comment. When I saw this image, and read your words, I thought, "Oil slicks from Australia, and painted road markings from England. I love this site!" Cool image and very humorous and singular narrative! Oil makes lovely colors and designs, and the bits of gravel add great texture. Excellent post! Happy belated Birthday to Jeff!
L LOVE the colors in oil "puddles"!! Very cool idea and shot!!!! :)
