Grats on finishing in the top 15%! I have to say that as time went by this grew in appeal more and more. It eventually won me over to reward it with one of the few 10's I passed out. Initially, I found the angle an odd choice to present the still life - looking straight down. But it was the looking straight down that allowed the elements within the composition to shine. My eyes took in the textures/grain of the wood slats to the weave of the circular basket to the tactile skin of the lemons. The shapes are what also caught and held my attention; the circle of the basket, the heart shape, the squares throughout with the table, and the oval of the lemons.

Nice use of light on the flowers/water. A dreamlike mood.

Great art work. Would like it less centered.

Great grungy processing, love the way we go to the flower first and then headless elegant lady, subtle but wonderful colors throughout a tiny but important detail that makes this very special is the posture of her right hand. I'm guessing this is a paulbtlw production, very nice.

It needed some dressing up/down - what can I say - I hated the carpet!

This has a surreal dream quality to it. The cropped off head adds to the mystery. Very well done.
