Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 26, 2015 Thank you, Maria! I'm afraid not expressive enough, IE looks too much natural! Cheers PDE Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 26, 2015 Thank you, Evgeni! With the grasshopper you say, but the pose is not suitable and it's not enough recognizable by my opinion! PDE Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 26, 2015 Gracias, Joaquín! Hay tres imágenes y no sé lo que es mejor por ti! Saludos cordiales PDE Link to comment

morophaenixmau 22 Posted January 26, 2015 Caro amico mio, questa tua composizione mi piace moltissimo! L'olivo è il mio albero preferito ed è l'albero del Mediterraneo e Italiano in particolare. E' un albero che cambia il suo tronco a seconda di dove cresce e in Italia lo si vede particolarmente. Io vivo a Tivoli e intorno alle mie passeggiate ci sono migliaia di olivi che hanno anche diversi secoli di vita, superano anche i 500-600 anni. Quell'uomo che cammina in mezzo a quell'oliveto potrei essere io!!!! Amico mio caro, non ti preoccupare, in PN nessuno si dimenticherà di te, è che molti amici hanno lasciato PN, ma gente come te e me non se ne va!!!Ciao PierreMaurizio il fedele!!! Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 27, 2015 L'olivo considero un albero sacro! Ho sentito dire che si può vivere anche duemila anni! Il melograno è anche sacro, soprattutto perché il succo che se ne ricava è la migliore cura per sbornia e gusti stupendo! Sì, le persone lasciano PN per vari motivi e ci rimangono! Ti ringrazio molto per la tua visita e bel commento Pietro il consistente Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 27, 2015 Thank you, Grigoriy! I thought you meant of that one, but there are three images and I was sure! PDE Link to comment
JamieK 1 Posted January 27, 2015 very pleased to see you are still saying eloquent things with mysterious and imaginative pictures. this one looks different than the others i saw in days long passed, but it still has that, "No No No! you're not supposed to think it's real" quality that gets them deeply into your head. sorry i haven't been around much. roger sonneland tempted over to 500px, where people sometimes even pay attention to my pictures. see ya. jamie p.s.: grasshopper. the lizard seems to cute and friendly.

Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 27, 2015 What a pleasant surprise, Electronic! I was in a painting business quite a while and I must go back to "You are not supposed to think it's real"! Only the problem is it's winter and I can hardly go out and take pictures, but, I will go out sometime and maybe sooner! Your brothers aren't anymore interested in visiting me as well! Mr Kraft is gone like you were and Jamie doesn't pay attention to me! I hope you are here to stay! Sincerely PDE Link to comment
michaellinder 16,612 Posted January 27, 2015 To get this out of the way, I vote with Jack. I think the image is strong enough without the grasshopper (and also without the lizard). Yet, if you think a critter needs to be present, I would not doubt your judgment about leaving in the grasshopper. To me, the surrealistic feel this photograph possesses is due primarily to three elements. First, there is the sky's weird shade of blue. If I were to behold this when I walk out of my house, I think I would turn around and immediately go back inside. Secondly, the tips of the tree branches are white instead of the expected green. This produces the appearance of a cotton-like fuzz. And thirdly, the pedestrian's shadow is much shorter and lighter than those the trees cast. This poor soul has a long way to go ("... and miles to go before [he sleeps].") I see the trail curving to the right in the background, and there is no perceivable end. If ever I feel the need to exercise my brain to hedge my bet against further memory loss, I don't need any fancy websites with even fancier gizmos. All I need is to study your work. I'm grateful. michael Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 28, 2015 Hey, Michael! Before I thank you for this real critique and usual overall study of the picture(s) I must explain you my aspect, my view of it!The trees were with that flare anyway, I just darkened the sky, the shadows are impossible if you take a good look at them, direction, size...all impossible and I made a copy with longer one! The lizard is some kind of observer on many of my pictures, maybe an angel guardian of the loner in the case of the "Loner in desert" and this one! And finally I really feel I need him to add to the surreal impression! The grasshopper is a good idea, but I didn't have a PSD file of grasshopper better than this one and I put it in spite of its impossible, not suitable for the rest pose! Thank you for your usual thorough exploration and critique now! Best PDE P.S. What did you mean by gizmo? Link to comment
schouwman 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Pierre! a beautiful work very nice colors and perspective best regard janegbert Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 28, 2015 Welcome and thank you, Janegbert! You only didn't say which one, ha! Cheers to that PDE P.S. I suggest you this one http://a1.s6img.com/cdn/0037/p/17192189_10218548_lz.jpg Link to comment
michaellinder 16,612 Posted January 30, 2015 I'm using "gizmo" in the sense of a tool or instrumentality. The Internet is loaded with devices that exercise one's brain. The Luminosity site is a rather well known one. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted January 30, 2015 Thank you, Michael! I should save said thank you for the great compliment instead of asking what does it mean! Best PDE Link to comment
GailAnthonyHarmer 6 Posted February 1, 2015 I was looking at the 'loner' so much that I missed the Grasshopper till I enlarged it, and it 'popped' right in front of me!! Your imagination takes us on yet another journey-this time with the 'loner'. I can't help but think he must feel like he is in Paradise, after the heat of the desert! Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted February 1, 2015 He sure feels kind of relief, Gail! The problem with that grasshopper is that he is not noticeable in spite of his size and his screaming green color and I put back the gecko who followed the loner back from the desert to this place! Thanks for your visit and interesting comment! Cheers PDE Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted February 2, 2015 The grasshopper appears to be pondering a possible threat from the passer- by. "Can I take this guy or is he concealing a can of 'Raid' in that knapsack"? As usual Pierre, very imaginative. Best, LM. Link to comment
Pierre Dumas 268 Posted February 4, 2015 Hey, Len! Sorry for the delay in reply and my reply would be: Thank you, but I didn't understand what you are asking me, ha! Cheers to that! PDE Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted February 4, 2015 Looks to me like the grasshopper is thinking about attacking the passerby. "Raid" is a North American insect killer in a spray can. Hope that clears up the mystery. :-) (feeble attempt at humour, a weakness of mine) Best, Len Link to comment
