21 Jan 20 Comment Phillipa, Your image is clearly a labour of love which demonstrates that not only do you have the photographer's seeing eye but also that you have a full palette of digital imaging skills. The saturated colours are wonderful and create a mystery and intrigue that draws you in. I like the way that you have assembled the various everyday elements into a cohesive whole to create a good visual story. The positioning of your husband's birthday cake and your grand-daughter diametrically opposed from each other works well. I quite like the inclusion of the inner frame which enhances the overall visual dynamic. Well done. Jan 25th
21 Jan 20 Comment Joan, You have used well your digital imaging skills to create the illusion that the girl is turning in mid-air and not attached to anything. I quite like the way that the blur enhances the sense of movement. I like the visual disconnect between the masculine colours of the girl's clothing and the feminine colours of the background. The red blob in the bottom right hand corner draws the eye and reminds me of a virus invading the work place. This is quite apposite at the moment given the coronavirus in Wuhan. Jan 25th
21 Jan 20 Reply Phillipa, Thank you for your kind words. The white shadows behind the chairs are the inverted versions of the black shadows in reality. Similarly, the other white areas in front of and to the side of the deck chairs are actually reversed shadows of piles of sand. I have always been fascinated by negatives and how they reduce the world to an empirical level yet retain intelligible visual cues. FYI, one of the projects that I did at University was to look at 'Landscapes viewed as monochrome negatives'. Jan 25th
