Great image to start a new year, Pierre... with a woman, her mask, a church, and the sun....!

Marshal Dumas-

 

Another masterpiece! I love the metaphor here; as well as the physical textures and blue tones. Her eyes are very compelling, as are the eyes of the mask. Well done, my friend! Cheers! The Caliph

Thank you Sir, Caliph Sir!

 

I have to remind you that a Googy dry is present on this masterpiece of mine and that according to the rules requires use of a correction factor Sir!

 

My humble Marshalship!

Persona

 

Don't know how I missed this one, Pierre. After you have left so many thoughtful comments on many of my images, I decided to revisit your entire portfolio. As a Jungian student, I was really attracted to this image which potrays a very powerful Jungian symbol, "the persona." Religions, as dipicted by the church-like image on the left, also wear a collective persona. Your creative images inspire each of us to remove our persona in an attempt to find our "true self" or "essence" through our photography/art. Thank you for your honesty and inspiration. Blessings from Rebekah B.

Thanks all!

 

Rebekah, you're being too flattering, ha! Thank you again!

Hi

 

interesting color ...

Eerie

 

A very eerie and mysterious image. This is one of my favorites that you have posted. Of course the colours and tones are fantastic, but the real power here is the shadows and darkness. This would make a great movie poster or book cover for a horror novel. A great idea, extremely well executed. -David :)

 

Nick Jeftic [subscriber] , January 08, 2009; 03:19 A.M.

 

Like so many of your photos this one has a meaning behind the meaning, behind the meaning.... Wonderful work! Hey, best wishes to you and your dearest in the new 2009!

No photo for a short glimpse.

One of your very best.

You should call this after a ghosts story! ;)

Pierre - the image you have created here is "off the charts". Very well done. Many of your images straddle the fence between madness and genius, clearly the mark of a great artist. It is always a pleasure to look at your portfolio on photo.net from time to time. Best Regards, Jeff

Very creative image; intriguing and well done! I am always inspired when I visit your work to get the courage to post some of my more "bizarre" images. Maybe one day soon I will actually post some! Thank you for sharing. :)

Hi, Trisha,

 

I can hardly wait for you to post some of your bizarre images, don't omit to let me know when that happens!

 

Best regards and courage!
