I have gone from not getting this one, to calling it up on my screen just to look at it.

For Those Who Love, Time Is Eternity

I keep thinking maybe there's a love letter in the sky. The effects in the trees is nice, this is light & airy, & delicate, but really so sad.

This is so charming, I keep trying to look past the effects filter to see it better.
Beautiful light & shadow.

Essence of Tulip

And wouldn't this look absolutely fabulous printed on a large canvas, hanging on the wall in a room that didn't get direct sunlight. This painting would provide all the sunny light anyone would need. I like the way it's mostly abstract, but not quite. And of course I love tulips. Good work!

That's one big green hat she's wearing! The reminds me strongly of painting with a palette knife. Sweet!

Blossoms

Comment:
If a photographer could be somehow reassembled as a painter, this is the kind of photo-realistic painting that might result. In the struggle between the dual nature of this composition, I can't say which is dominating--the photographic nature, or the painterly one. I like the restful tones, the excitement & clarity in the light, the motion blur in the blossoms, the contrasting texture of the old wood. I hope it's hanging on a wall somewhere.

The Last Journey

This had an immediate strong emotional impact on me--pity, and love. I didn't click it open again for several days, but the emotion stayed with me.

Here is a Flying Pig HM for subtle Chiaroscuro with a camera & a contemporary Pieta that is worth looking at many times.

The Dressing Down

I admire the use of light in this shot, to illuminate the tableau in a way that effectively counters the usual flattening effect of photography. What I mean to say: this looks just like a Old Master. And it's amusing! Good job.
