It does have a well seasoned, mature sense of beauty. I'm glad that's all you were trying to convey. I thought you were going to be leaving us...whew...don't want any more of those...too many lately on here as it is....leaving, I mean. :( PJ
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
This makes me think of masked carnivals and festivals, dancers in wild and colourful costumes parading the streets and transforming the ordinary landscape with colour and sound. It has that slightly garish look which works beautifully in the right settings but which might not look so great at a job interview for a position at the bank, say.
I am honoured to be listed as a friend or to see an image of mine as a favourite, but I keep lists of neither. This helps me appreciate images uploaded by strangers as well as friends. Please understand that a failure to reciprocate in kind indicates a lack of appreciation for neither gesture nor work.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
