My own design, doodled one night on a pad, created in Illustrator and finished in Photoshop CS5. I made it last year, but never posted it -- realized just now that it might suit the 'Balance' contest.
You really are good with color and the design is so nice. Everything seems to fit together perfectly and it makes a bright and snappy DT. You are talented and quite creative. Good luck in the contest.
/\ Got that out of the way first and foremost. :o)
Been coming back to your piece here numerous times. It was and is a standout to my eyes, in and amongst the new images.
One of the reasons for the revisits ... the radial/radiating 'rays' of the respective suns?
Wondering why you reversed their orientation?
Just a curiosity on my part, more so.
Really liking how you worked in the spectrum of light/colours in and around the median curved facet.
Well-balanced design. Almost symmetrical.. with a lil' literal twist of the canvas.
Caveats?
More of a creative suggestion/request..
Maybe a sun/moon companion piece?
Along the lines of of a more contrasted piece on the luminance/brightness fronts within frame. (Kind of, sort of.) And vis a vis the conceptual side of things.
Very nice work.
But of course, thank you for sharing your creativity with us. :o)
Trying to remember what was in my mind, Les, when I created it... I thought of it as, not two suns, but a sun and a sunflower. So the one has petals, and the other has pointy rays! At one stage I did have it with both rays being pointy, meeting in the middle, but I didn't like the look of it. Maybe I felt that changing one set 'mixed it up' a little? Besides, I always thought of it as a flower and a sun, rather than two suns. I'm cursed with a logical mind. :-)
Totally with you on the sun/moon idea, I was thinking about that too. Maybe I will wake up one day and give it a try.
