something appealing about this. the sharp diagonals, the red corner mirroring the glimpse of blue sky, like hell and heaven. The crumble of asphalt. something gorgeous about it all.

Spring Rain....

I think the "split in two" composition is saved by the hints of shapes in the dark top half. The delirious scratchwork of the rain and wires on the bottom half is wonderful. Feels like an internal urban landscape.

i wish dpc let you make this bigger. It has the motion and texture of a Pollock painting. Rhythm, marvelous rhythm and color. A simple palette dominated by two highly contrasting colors. but also the high contrast of dark and light. All rhythmically entangled. Yeah, this is a visual delight.

oh wow, this is very me, a surprising and original image, a spiritual energy, a being from another plane perhaps.

there is an unsettling quality to this. Something is off about the colors. It's darker than it should be, but the colors are still pretty saturated. Something wicked this way comes. the dog and I can smell it.

one of the features/topics that come up in discussions of art and its value is "originality." "Original" was the first word that came to mind when I saw this image, because it is like no other I've seen. But what can I point to that is "original"? "Never been done!" Big bold silhouettes have been done. contre jour has been done. Maybe individual is a better word. There's something very individual and personal about this capture. foreground, middle ground and background conveyed so boldly with so little visual information, like three worlds being presented. But also, as your title suggests, a sense of time is here, not simply by conveying "speed" but by contrasting it with what is not moving, and with what is slowly setting. The railings are the prisons of each world, easily transcended by an artist such as yourself. I'm only 3 images in and I already know this is one of my favorites.

The fog of sleep

i like the mysteriousness of this image. I like how I keep changing my mind about how much of this is real and how much painted. something weird about what is focused and what is blurred. I resisted at first what seems like a vignette, but a vignette isn't so normal when it's putting the focus on scritchy nothingness. And normal is to be avoided at all costs.

very pleasing to look at. has a kind of old movie feeling to it, but more detailed. I particularly like the chunky blur of the background. I also like flat but textured feathers. I say "flat" mostly because the torso is flat and the head does not "pop out." it creates a kind of desultory mood. the wings and tail are more separate from the body than the head is. I also like the dark detail of the beak. It's a nice gloomy atmospheric image.

the trope is very tropey but the composition really sells it. they are overwhelmed by the severe heft of their environment. love that weird triangular thing top left.

too much vignette. the turtle looks great but I want a photograph, not a turtle.
