Waiting, Watching, Wishing by Jynxxd

tigger3: Excellent manipulation, very creative and so well done. =^..^=tigs

GBH2008: Very Cool!

tndr: Favorited! I love it!

purmusic: Thanks for the visual cue to take the tour of your galleries. Saw your name before and some of your images/uploads. You have a varied and great gallery, well worth the tour. :o)

Back to your image here..


A good good manipulation. Caught my eye in and amongst the new images and here's I be.

Strong composition.

Great use of colour and the posturing portrayed is excellent. Well suited on the notes of composition and concept. And as mentioned above, well done on the lighting aspect.


Caveats?

Small niggle, at best.

The wall of stone on the right-hand side's textures. Perhaps that of change in Blending mode and/or reduced Contrast might provide the lil' assist to compliment it's adjacent left-hand side.

That nonsense of mine aside..


Wonderful work.

Annnd..


Thanks for sharing this one with us. It is a very nice piece and well thought out.

Best of luck to you in the contest. :o)

Farm Reflections by b8264d

0930_23: Congrats on getting 3rd place in the contest Jeff.

roxanapaduraru: Wow what an effect!It looks surreal and from another planet!Love the reflection and the perfect composition!

b8264d: Thank you. I'm still not sure about the orange color but I am not going to change it, too many people seem to like it. ;o)

4th place
The Fog is Lifting by palral

trixxie17: I hate to disagree with Wendell but you need that much sky to offset the lighter areas - the darker sky at the top serves that purpose. This is a very well done moody shot and I like the little bridge in the background.

5th place
Introspective by Tootles

purmusic: (*checks face in mirror*)

Lil' red..


Thought I had commented on your piece here, as I distinctly remember when you posted it (simply put, and as I am want to say at times.. 'a standout, in and amongst the new images').

And would echo the thoughts and words above me.


Aside from the technical considerations, your image is more about evocation for me.

Strange as this may sound, or not.. get the feeling of comfort and that of being safe as a child, somewhat caught up in the fantasy world of your creation here.

Lots of things to see and investigate, all friendly creatures and a most welcoming and intriguing environment to explore.

Colour palette is great throughout. Good good composition.


Nice to see that you were rewarded in the contest for your creative efforts. Most deserving entry. :o)
