56 Jul 19 Comment The change in the lighting really bring "heat" to this image. Feels like a hot Italian afternoon. Jul 15th
56 Jul 19 Comment Is it brush strokes in the sky or is it the "paper" underlying the image? Jul 12th
56 Jul 19 Comment Thank you for your kind words regarding the blacksmith.
I have had trouble controlling the "redness" in this image. I prefer it to be a bit less than what you are seeing, but having the fire in the foreground dictates a warm glow to the figure.
By simplifying the picture you see the ages of smithing in his posture and focus on the workpiece.		 Jul 11th
56 Jul 19 Comment Elinor, Love this image.

The dozens of "leading" lines seem to swirl around the principals like a nest drawing the eyes inward. I agree with Cyril about the changes to the shirt. An unchanged plaid would have lit up like a beacon in the midst of all those other lines.

I think applied just enough "paint" to this image.

Well done.

56 Jul 19 Comment Gerhard, I like your image.

But, may I make a suggestion?

Artists of the Hudson River School employed a technique to add depth to their paintings. They would place something like a shadowed cliff, a river bank or shrubbery along the bottom. The idea is that the eye will look away from dark areas and thus the view will be lifted to more distant vistas in the image, giving it that added sense of depth.

I frequently place a blank layer on top of my stacks and pull a black to clear gradient up a ways from the bottom and then reduce the opacity to where it just darkens the bottom a bit.

I think that might work with your image; darkening the greenery down front, leading the viewer up to where you want them to look at the rocks and splashing waves.

Just a thought.
