'Life as a Painter' a great expression of your corner of the world. I like that you took a piece of yourself and not just the location. This is a nice tight image. The coloring and lighting are extremely appealing. The only I can't figure out is what you are painting, it almost looks like you are painting paint. That could just be how naive I am because I have no painting experience. I bet this image grabbed voter when they were glancing through the thumbnails and they saw this bright red image. I glanced through your other work and I think you are defiantly talented and will continue to grab people with your strong colors and images. Good job.
