Hi Lauren, I appreciate your thoughtful arrangement and photography to show depth in the image. The saturated color pops from the background and the angled star heads into space like a starship. Great fun, nicely done. Karl |

Hi Sandra, Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, … Beautiful skies like this pull our attention and say, "Take my picture!" Phone cameras do an excellent job in this light although their computers sometimes sharpen images with the resulting halo and hard line artifacts. This problem becomes less of an issue with the newest phone firmware. I am thinking that the image could be flipped left for right so that the big island section would start at the left edge and end with the small island on the right. Karl |

Hi Val, This is good, perhaps introspective, street photography due to the image layering from window reflections. The texture and toning take it out of the realm of reality and into the realm of art. Nicely rendered.

Hi May, There can be a lot in simplicity. As Judy points out, the simplicity can trigger one's own thoughts. I also liked the asymmetry in composition with the small roofed building balancing the two larger trees as if on a fulcrum. The clouds and trees add natural texture to a scene that is otherwise barren concrete. Without nature, the world can be bland. The greenish tone is a little ominous, but any monochrome which simplifies the image works here. Karl |

Hi Judy, Composited imaging opens the world to creating on a blank canvas. I like the concept and execution. The thought and development of the image show that you are grasping some of Photoshop's abilities. The skeleton head's laugh versus the serious background face are a delightful counterpoint. When we are dead, we can truly laugh at life.

Wow! I never expected the comments that have appeared. It seems to me that each person sees part of the image differently and interprets it differently, possibly based on expectations. I am reminded of how Robert Mapplethorpe troubled many of his viewers. One of his models, Lisa, was a bodybuilder like Britney, not a fashion twig. I see the point about the 'lipstick' and earrings. Those could be fixed to make the image more raw. To add mud/dirt would take it into a more contrived theatrical realm a la William Mortenson whose prints are in the PSA collection. This image wasn't posed. It's the model's reaction to the setting. I prefer to document what happens, not arrange what should happen in cases like this. Since this wasn't a fashion or pretty picture shoot, do clothes matter? Would this image be viewed differently in Scandinavia? I am enjoying the discussion and delight in the differing views. Karl |
