I always love the opportunity to spend time with your images. This one is no different. I agree with Steve. There is something very alive in there. It looks more heavenly and angelic to me, especially shining through brighter than the back lighting itself. I see a steamy lake, a nice mountain range, and a beautiful sunrise...all from an abstract of a paper towel. It is always a nice surprise to see how much a creation like this actually speaks to your comment givers. While the overall vote is no surprise give the average voter's expectation of a crystal clear water droplet, light refraction through wine glasses, or the weathered face of a third-world citizen, I still take delight in the fact that there are still many votes of 6 or better. I didn't vote in the challenge, but this one would have been a top pick for me. As always, Mr. Giovanni, it is a pleasure each time I run across a request for a critique from you. Thanks for the opportunity.
A paper towel?! A plain old paper towel and some wrapping paper and a flashlight made this?!!! The landscape you created in my mind had wonderful light, rich color, and just a hint of Hell in the movement. I envisioned disoriented souls in a long line on the left, just out of camera range, marching invitably toward their eternal punishment. One of us has too much imagination ;-)
Outstanding! I love it when I find myself giving yours high scores, a 9 in this case. And skewsme got a 10 from me. My values are torquing, no question about it.
Sorry about the brown comment, I do not see the landscape in the shot because of the out of focus processing.
It appears intentional so I made a wrong assumption. I did not mean to be disrespectful.
Of course, if DPC were a juried competition this would be a ribbon winner. Probably a blue. I need higher resolution to make out the features of the creature struggling to emerge from the primordial soup. I swear I see two arms (one with two fingers, one with a thumb) and maybe a head. The unexpected man-made object on the lower left adds to the debate over where, in the universe, this tortured planet was photographed. Brilliant work.
This is very exciting! The hotness of the color, the transparency and perceived movement all make for a delightful package to behold...a standing ovation for you!
