54 Sep 24 Reply Thank you for your feedback, and thanks to Maria for personifying the purpose of these groups with her good suggestion about the labyrinth. Sep 23rd
54 Sep 24 Reply I explored adding a couple of doors to create a labyrinth and enlarging the woman on the left. Too hectic? I'm interested in your thoughts. Sep 18th
54 Sep 24 Reply I'm happy you recognize the indecision in the composite. That's what I was after. Sep 17th
54 Sep 24 Reply I agree. We all get lost from time to time in our own labyrinths. With a couple of more doors, that would be a good title for this composite. Certainly food for thought. Thank you. Sep 17th
54 Sep 24 Reply Thank you for the feedback. I was trying to make the young lady to the far left look as if she were far away where there are no doors. Maybe she can be a bit larger and still seem far away. Sep 16th
54 Sep 24 Comment Originals 2 and 3 are beautiful photographs, but I agree with you. This blending just doesn't seem to work. Perhaps the injection of the flower is not the right image to introduce. I have no solutions to this conundrum except to say that the initial idea is one to keep exploring. You're so good at blending that I'm sure you will find a solution. Sep 11th
54 Sep 24 Comment What a beautiful sunset. Children playing on the beach is always an eye-catching experience, but these children seem to both be a bit elongated. Also, I'm not sure what the nets are for. Stephen Spielberg made a fortune by NOT showing the shark in "Jaws." He created an awful lot of suspense by just showing the fin. I think that might work here to create a bit of angst in the viewer. Nothing works better than angst on a calm beach lit by a beautiful sunset. Sep 11th
54 Sep 24 Comment I think you have a very good artist's proof here. The treatment in B & W fits perfectly in what you are after, but when I read your description of the image it was different from the composite I saw. I didn't recognize the road as ice, and I didn't know this was a night scene as there is a very sharp shadow and there is reflection on the ice. Does one see reflections on ice at night? The placement of the spirit works very well, but he's a bit too bright. He can still be a spirit if his opacity is reduced a bit. This is a good artist's proof because it has terrific potential. Sep 11th
54 Sep 24 Comment I don't know what an ICM staircase is but sometimes it looks like it's going down and sometimes it looks like it's going up. Combine these perspectives with the swirl you have created plus the colors, and you get a vivid dream Freud would love to have interpreted. Nice work. Sep 11th
54 Sep 24 Reply Thank you for visiting Group 54. Your feedback makes me feel that you are being a bit too literal. As the title is "Indecision" and not "Confusion" as your feedback seems to indicate, this composite is simply a visual representation of indecision. Sep 3rd
