Nature's Course

A solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus.

Stoep Zen

Comment:
Impressionist imagery is hard to develop a feel for both when composing and evaluating. In this instance, it's hard to determine exactly what the author was trying to convey and the technique isn't as obvious as it should be. Effective in several ways, it fails to have total impact because of it's very subtle nature - a little less subtlety would have improved it's impact.

An incredible portrait that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A sound demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus to obtain an effect. Well done
