Here in Britain , we don`t really have thanks giving .
The nearest we get is a Harvest Festival , but they are dying out slowly .
This is a lovely card with a Beautiful and apt verse

The photo and headline text for this card are well done. The text in the quote is hard to read, though. It may have been better to crop the photo and place the text in a text block. ~roberta

    It can't, so I had to check my rating, I honestly meant to give you a five. I have updated my rating. I am very sorry about this..it is a perfect card..the only improvement would be if you added money or a dinner invite! Once again I am sorry. Donkeyoatey

This is lovely, Lucien. Both the sentiment and the photo. So clear and crisp, with good color and lighting.
You made a very nice composition indeed.

Thanks for sharing, and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Comment from Klikker


I like this Lucien for both the graphical and editorial sides. The written word is so true and quite apt and the photograph shows the time well with the different food items. Was gonna say veg then I thought a pumpkin is a fruit??? is it? lol. Nice colours throughout and a great card idea. Well done with this. Nick

Comment from MoonShine


To be honest this is good but thats all due to the text being lost in the image when you have finished squinting the words are profound warm and meaningful. The focus and composition are good with lovely depth when working will digital the light meter will always over expose every image so go down a stop or half a stop as in this image you have lost detail in the highlights hence the rim of the middle and lower pumpkin hope this honest review is helpful. Lovely contrast and color tones,

    MoonShine,
    I once again wonder what text you are looking at, I thought it read well and is not that hard to see if we are clear headed. ( just having a little fun with you FAR user Name) I do appreciate the comments ( yes, they are helpful and were considered when I designed the card) and I thought that the highlights were offset by the lettering and the way they are framed. thank you and have toast for me, Happy Thanks giving and as always take care, bottoms up!
    Cheers!
