Hello Gieselle ~

It's been a while since I visited your wonderful Lair of photos ~ just had to have a "real" Phantom injection of beauty tonite... I love that you've added some new shots of Gerry .....

I began with the last sequence of the 1917 section at the grave... You know I look at those last scenes & honestly it's just soooo very haunting. It seems only normal that over a year later that the effect would be wearing a wee bit thin, but not so. That rose/ring , the way they're brought a hairsbreath away from your eyes & you're already overwhelmed in the emotions of what's gone past those two plus hours ~ it's devastating...

From there I jumped over the POTO, my favorite with the descent to the Lair. New frames from that one too.... oh lovely! You have some superb shots, even when he's half turning away from, or into the camera.... ohhhhhhh... but the one that is absolutely astounding is the one just to the right of the first one that you have centered on your page ~ where Christine is entranced by him & singing, while he's just begun to look beyond to the stairs as they progress further & he has that look... that's.... so secure in the effect he's having on her! A little smug smile playing on his mouth & that wonderful stare...

So, Gieselle you can see that you've done a fabulous job & I know you must receive hundreds of PMs a week tell you this & more. I was just so moved again & you were the best one to share it with since you are the Keeper of the Lair , smock, beret etal...

Much Love ~ Martha (Greensleeves) 

P.S. I love POTO too much!
