the color of the sand looks artificial, but I think it works

Thank you, Brennan, your words are flattering. I've thought about the fact that the stuff I've been producing has been kind of all over the map, but I don't really know what to make of it.

A new direction? I don't know, but I think that's a good question and I'm glad you asked. I do feel like I kind of turned a corner--or maybe turned a page, or shifted gears, or something--sometime during the past month, and suddenly I felt like I understood some things I had been struggling with before. It's weird, because at the same time as I feel like I'm doing pretty much the same thing I've been doing for a while now, I feel like things are working better.

This image was intended as an experiment in technique. If it bodes anything for what I'm likely to be doing in the future, I can't speak to that; I'm just kind of going with the flow. It's more like boating down a river or surfing a wave than flying a plane - I get the sense that I'm just along for the ride.

Or I could have been reading too much Vonnegut lately.

nice toning & color treatment. the soaring lines of the tree are very appealing. the dodge & burn looks a bit heavy-handed on the house.

Great Tree at Sunset

lot of potential here... I think I'd have preferred to see the tree either fill the frame or have more room around it.
