About One of my still life photos abstracted then selectively layered over a detail of one of my sunset photos.

"Open doors and windows, books and flowers,
Newly opened gifts of minds and hearts
Yearning for the emptiness of oceans
On which, in love and hope, you launch your music;
Undulating, searching, restless hearts
Rendering your ecstasies in music,
Eternal hunger sated now with flowers,
Now rolling on relentlessly as oceans;
Give everything away--all hopes, all music,
All of yourself cast into tumbling oceans,
Go naked in the silence of your hearts,
Even as you blossom into flowers.
Mouths cannot speak the glory of the oceans
Etched against the loveliness of flowers,
Nor can you know its fullness but in music
Through love, which inundates your waiting hearts."

Gerhard Busch   {K:12057} 6/30/2007
It is already astonishing, which effect has such preparation on the spectator. Whereby in the lower part of the contrast a little flat become is. Sincerely Gerhard

day after day you post great work Shirley... just missing time to comment. Love the superposition on this one, a real add-on.


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 6/30/2007
I like the design of the abstract, just not sure if the blue ball looks out of place. The color of it just makes one focus attention solely on that instead of the lattice of the other design. If you ever decide on a re-make of this, might I suggest the background sunset be tampered down or muted so as not to compete with the abstract?

Just my thoughts....

Dave


Tomasz Szymczak   {K:7722} 6/30/2007

Thank you for your honest critique, Dave. But you know, I wanted that blue marble in there.:)


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 6/30/2007
I know, I know, Shirley. And I am way off the mark and have just realized it. From now on, I'm adding my blue balls to my creations.
