By the by a great set it looks to me, i am considering something like that, .. or do something with nikon, that I already own now, not sure yet. Link to comment
minicucci 0 Posted April 2, 2006 David: there is a sense of depth and dimension here that is almost unsettling. It is close to looking at a hologram instead of a two-dimensional object. Each visual element seems to occupy it's own dimension. More than the excellence of the tones, I think you have conspired with that very subtle color palette to produce this spectacular effect. If I look at any of the individual color channels, the effect is either gone or diminished. Something to learn, here. In addition, the oblique lines that repeat and repeat and repeat while surrounded by the swirl of grasses just rivets the eye. I really think this one is very special. Link to comment
jeremy freeland 0 Posted April 2, 2006 Very solid composition with some beautifully restrained tones and colours. I think the theme's excellently captured - the dead form becoming part of the land, cycle and regeneration. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted April 2, 2006 Recycle of substance in nature David . Muted life ( and colors), but the process is very nicely accentuated. appealling image and texture. I like the diagoanl of tree. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 2, 2006 I like the textures in the wood here, and, as several people have mentioned, the vivid depiction of the dead tree being reclaimed by the land. Also like the complex diagonals formed by the log. But what I can't get out of my mind while viewing this is: Is it the same log as this? Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted April 2, 2006 Wonderful colours and a great log! The sense of the tree sinking back into the ground is strong. Link to comment
david robinson 0 Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks, Klaus I do like these details. Hans, I'll watch for your series. Thanks Pat. These subtle colors and frosty highlights together with the repeated patterns and forms are what caught my eye. Jeremy, these life cycles are dynamic, aren't they? Pnina, yes the diagonals work here to hold all this together. Chris, no this isn't the same log. I'll post an image that shows the context of that other log. Colin you got it right with the word "sinking". Thank you all for taking the time to share your observations. It's much appreciated. Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted April 3, 2006 David, others have already identified the strengths of this image. One thing that I like in particular is the bottom LHS of the log. It, IMHO, is worth an image in its own right. There is wonderful texture and form there. Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted April 3, 2006 I would have missed this motif, certainly. Your trademark tones and color palette. At the first glance, there is only a half rotten log - but you show us an allegory of transience, profound and artful work. Moving to see how moss and grass permeate the log. And yes, the interaction of lines and patterns is complex and interesting. An important detail is the hoarfrost, IMO. Do you have another version with a wider perspective for comparison ? I think Jeff is right with the lower left, it would be interesting to know how it looks with some emphasis there. Cheers Carsten Link to comment
david robinson 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks Jeff and Carsten. The form in the LHS does indeed stand out. I am including an image that puts the log more in context. Carsten, I agree the frost really is an important element here. Thank you both for your comments... Link to comment
