Well, as you can see, I've finished uploading my sixty-fourth motivational success wallpaper to my gallery. It's entitled "Never Give Up". It features a quote from my favorite basketball player of all time, as I felt that this short quote summed it up well about how to face life's challenges.
Never Give Up
Right now, I'd like to take a moment to share with younever give up an example of what goes into getting the right picture to use in a motivational image. Never Give Up
Earlier this year, about 2 months ago in mid March, I woke up early on a Saturday morning to see a fresh blanket of snow that had fallen overnight. We were experiencing warmer weather during the week, and most of all the snow had melted in our area. Also, a few crocus plants had started to sprout up the last few days and were starting to boldly make their way out of the ground. I've seen pictures like this elsewhere, and liked how they symbolized the concept of overcoming adversity Never Give Up.
When I saw the fresh blanket of snow on the ground, I knew that this was what I wanted to capture. I had waited to capture a shot like this for over 2 years.Never Give Up
Now in all honesty, I just couldn't get the right shot I wanted to with my own flowers. Aspects like where they were located, the lighting, and the background were not what I was looking for. So, IRaluka – Never give up went off to the local flower shop that morning and laid out $5 bucks for about 4 purple crocus plants that were ready to open up when it got warmer. I used one Raluka - Never Give Up (Official Music Video)
of them for this shot. After taking close to 50 different pictures of trying different things, I fina lRaluka - Never Give Up (Official Music Video)

Never Give Up
I did end up doing a little bit of Photoshopping (aka - digital alterations) on this image to make the yellow pistil less saturated - as the real thing was so vivid in it's natural color, that it actually looked fake to me when I saw it. I did do a few other things too, but was so glad when I was done.

Well, anyway, I was saving this one for May, and thought it might make a good one for Mother's Day. I'd like to wish all you mother's out there a very Happy Mother's Day weekend! If I still had this flower, I'd have given it to my Mom, who I love so very much. (Don't worry Mom, you're still getting a gift.) :-)
Never Give Up
Have a great day!
