Greetings from the Critique Club:

There is something quite compelling about your creation here, and this comes from someone who really doesn't enjoy 'crunchy' black and white landscapes. It does have an etched look that I enjoy - I also like the clouds, truly like balls of cotton wool.

Some have commented as to how messy this is and I would agree - it is: but something still emerges, the trees keep their identity and somewhat remarkably don't dissolve away into the conspirational camouflage.

I also agree with Brian, I'm not sure we see it at its best in this format. As for the challenge, I'm not sure how well-matched it is to people's expectations of something that wears the label 'Fine Art'...

Accomplished though; no doubt about that.

Paul

It has great qualities reminding me of the engraving of Aldorfer. Marvelous movement and composition. 8

Very good use of black and white to bring out those textures.

technically good, but I feel it may be a little too busy to be considered fine art, the eye has no central point of focus.

I suspect that blown up as a huge print, this would look quite awesome. It loses something in this format. Very nice.
