The texture overlay on the backdrop green really projects the sense of touch. You know how some floral leaves have a downy softness to them? That is the sense of touch I get when I look upon the image. Absolutely wonderful colors - rich greens and violet hues that are very pleasing to the eye.

Memories of childhood and school days open like the pages of a book. Great processing as that I have the feel that I am diving into a story that opens up with exploring the past of the main characters life starting with his school days.

Wonderful colors that now have a muted and warm feel - aged to comfort. The mood is a warm memory of a cool spring day many years ago captured on an old polaroid film.

words of love cropped

I do like the 'wildscreen' one but I think I like this cropped version the best. That 'Mona Lisa' smile on this gentleman is more evident - we notice his content & happy expression as he writes his thoughts down in a notebook. The word overlay is perfect for it then gives the viewer the added impression of what he is writing - a love note/letter/poem. Love that the added bonus is that the word "Hot" is actually there scratched into the window. Paired with the flower and the focus of the love letter impression it brings to mind a passionate love

Very, very behind in commenting - had you not mentioned it I would have asked 'what happens when you cross a Van Gogh portrait with an Avatar creature?' I believe this would be the result:-) Nice warm colors in this one as opposed to the Na'vi Avatar remake (looks like you had fun or are you giving DPCer's a sneak peak at Avatar II film that you landed a roll in:-) :-) )

Locked away forever in the cell of a 35 mm film strip - this has a grunge-future feel to it ala akin to Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future (old T.V. show)

Green oldie

This has a very vintage photo look that perfectly compliments the old style Pontiac. Love the newsprint at the side for it makes me feel that it is a listing or description that showcases the merits and history of the car.

Wonderful woodsy scene - love the B&W that brings out the shapes and lines of the trees and the clouds. Very lovely.

Two Friends

It is amazing how even in a downtrodden, economic depressed area one can still see the sunshine in a child's smile. Love the radiant smile on that little boy face. Love the processing too for it makes me think I am in the backseat of some old taxi or beat-up tour bus looking through a yellowed and dirty window. The vehicle has come to a stop and I am rewarded with a smile from these two boys that I cannot help but smile back.

Beautiful tones and colors in this still life. Love the 'frame' that outlines the composition for I think of this as an art painting that appear on serving trays; the ones that you hang as art on the walls or prop up as art to show on a shelf. Very lovely.
