Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 2/20/2006
Thanks Zahraa, I knew for sure it wont fit everyons taste, but I like art in photography, either to expose an idea, make it more like a dream, or from another world :)
Thanks for your kind comment dear and btw, it has been sometime now without a new post from you, stretch the laziness out of your fingers and give us something new,
Regards,

Aykaan, thanks allot dear for your kind comment, I am really glad you liked it,
Kidn regards,


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 2/21/2006
Rashed :)
You got it, Actually I got my idea from that picture, I saw it some time ago and it kind of stock to my mind, till I finally cmoposed it, I looked for it once again to compare after I was done but I couldn't find it :)
You got it right, this was the inspiration :)
Thanks for your kind comment dear,
Regards,


P. Christine Skinner   {K:27348} 2/21/2006
You blew me away with this one, Ameed! Fantastic soft skin texture and magnificent light contrasting beautifully with the sharp clarity of her hair tendrils. The eye is the pièce de résistance. Superb creativity and presentation. I am a horror fan as well :-).


andree lerat   {K:16731} 2/21/2006
There are many elements nice in this composition. I love the digital look of the eye. The thunder bolt captures the constant flux of thoughts very well.

But unlike in Ahmad Al-noimi's version, the eye fails to relate to the face because it is too bright. The highlights need to be toned down.

Hope you don't mind the critic. :) Andree


Galal El Missary   {K:84090} 2/21/2006
Anther WOW , horror but perfect , creative mind dear Ameed , Kind regards .

Galal


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 2/22/2006
Christineeeeeeeeeeeeee, Long time no see, I am glad you are still around, it is really good to receive from you.
Thanks allot dear for your kind comment, much appreciated.
Btw I checked your portfolio, It has been really long time sense you posted something .. Com onnnn :)
Take good care


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 2/22/2006
On The contrary Andree, thanks allot for your honest opinion, I highly appreciate it and this what makes UF a better place, I wish we all do this way :)
Now in regard to your comment,
While I hade Ahmed's composition in Mind, I didn't intend to make it a copy of his work, I changed the brightness, the angle too, I thought about the changing the brightness of the face, and I’ve done it, but at the end I liked this version better, I thought lets give it a try and see how it will be received, and your words makes me reconsider, I thank you once again for your honest opinion,
Kind regards,


Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47515} 2/22/2006
Remind me of the TV series called "terrain" people, although a great artist work but I do not wish to see this one at dark night :)
Excellent work as usual.

Okay, I'm going to the gym, tell me if you feel any better in an hour, I'll lend you some endorphins but I'm not sharing my date tonight with you :-)

BTW: have you ever been to Egypt? I'm going - I'm so excited to photograph and visit that great place, I have deampt of it for 10 years, always fascinated by pyramids since i was a young-un.


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 2/25/2006
Sam Buddy :) Thanks allot for those wonderful sites, I hope I wont get caught at work watching them lol I took a look and they look so nice, I will have to check them in details thought, I really appreciate it :)

About the Endorphins, LoL thanks .. I use Xpand and NoXplode rotate between them before going to the gym, these are my endorphins-2beta :)

Now .. have I ever visited Egypt :) Buddy, I am Egyptian :) and Of course I visited many many times, and the best period of my time was the university when I studied in Egypt, I lived outside Egypt before and after university,
Please let me know where you will be going, btw, It is a must to visit Sharm El Sheikh, it is ranked number one world wide the best diving spot, even if you don't dive, you can snorkel, doesn’t require and experience, you will love it for sure,
Please let me know for how long you will be staying there and what is you plane, I wish I was in Egypt by now, but too bad,
Take good care and I will be waiting for your reply, btw, please feel free to E-mail me at elghool@elghool.com, take good care,

Amazing ps work,if you don't ps it that still be a beautiful b&w work.


Sam Oppenheim   {K:3362} 2/26/2006
cool! I'll email you about Egypt! I'm so excited to go

Glad you liked those sites, I find them very helpful and with tips from the top floor, maybe you can listen to it at work while doing work, just like a radio? Enjoy! (p.s. i have a friend who works hard at a big law firm and was able to watch the 4th & 5th seasons of the Sopranos on his computer with headphones while at work doing work... crazy! I'm a teacher, When I'm at work 30 kids rely on my attention, there';s no real cheating :)

Excellent work, but if it is horror? I see in the eye a sunrice, is it not hopefull?


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 5/31/2006
Hi Ferdinand,
Thanks for your honest comment, Actually it is not a sun rise, It is a thunderstorm with lighting in it, I know it is hardly noticable :) But come on, can't make the eye any bigger :)
Cheers,

Wow...wonderful work...right up my alley, although I don't usually do horror...sometimes, though...:)


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:85570} 8/11/2006
Hi Ameed!

If you mean the girl on real world, then at all hear beauty I wouldn't like to meet her when she is angry! (Brrrrrrrrr) ;-)

If you mean the myth of Pandora, it is a myth originating in greek mythology, if I am not completelly wrong. Her name means "all giving".

Cheers,

Nick
