22 Jul 17 Comment Another thing has occurred to me -- her face and hands seem to be reaching up to embrace the billboard "above" her as if to imagine that she will some day be up there with other great artists. Jul 11th
22 Jul 17 Comment Very well done picture, and it invites the viewer to determine what the story behind this is -- is she dancing for the sheer joy of the moment or is she thinking that some day she'll be in there and everyone will then be taking notice of her? As Mike says, the blurring adds to the sense of motion. You captured her in a nice position but it would have added to the composition if the expression in her eyes had not been obscured by her arms. Another nice feature of this pic is that she is poised on the green square, which appears to be lit from below. Jul 10th
22 Jul 17 Comment Nice colors and placement of the shoreline off center (vertically). This image tells a nice story of fishermen either returning from a tranquil day out on the water or just starting out. The gentle wake of the boats by the rowers -- as opposed to a wake left by a motor adds to the feeling of calm. There's an interesting visual triangle formed by the sun and the two boats, but it might be a little too centered. Perhaps the right side could be brought in and the left side extended to add to the sense of a direction of travel. Enjoyable to look at. Jul 10th
22 Jul 17 Comment Very well done Joe! I don't think I've seen quite this technique before, but I'm sure your granddaughter loves it. There's probably different ways to transform this into a family keepsake, like a Christmas ornament or coffee mug, etc. One thing -- since this is a linear story, and since we read from left to right, maybe the chronological order could be reversed so that it would present as younger to older, left to right. I love the gradations of the orange background. Jul 9th
22 Jul 17 Comment Sorry John, but this is not up to your usual high standards. To begin with, there is no apparent border on the top and right sides to use to determine the composition you had in mind. Then the big black mass in the middle -- I guess it's part of the gate -- just kind of sits there doing nothing visually. As Mike hints at, the trees take away from the geometric abstractions. And for that matter the building doesn't do much visually either. It kind of looks like you just randomly aimed the Nokia and pressed the shutter. Unless, of course this is the original, but I see only one image. Jul 9th
22 Jul 17 Comment Other than the somewhat minor point that the far right stalk might tend to lead the eye away from the flower, I can't think of any way this image could be improved. Beautifully done! Jul 9th
22 Jul 17 Comment I like the slashing, almost staccato, vertical lines formed in the wood that gives this an abstract quality. It was nice that you removed the blue cast from the original and the resulting color balance is good. I see in this picture a lot of mystery, as if the lighted portion of the wood is be being illuminated by some distant (dark?) force, like something from The Lord Of The Rings.
For some reason Duchamp's Nude Descending A Staircase comes to mind. Does that make me very strange?		 Jul 9th
