Astraea

Very dramatic work due to the light, pose and treatment! Well done.

Best Regards,

Peter

The term I thought of when I saw this was 'aggressive colour.' Perhaps 'dramatic' is more appropriate. Whatever you call it, this is one powerful image.

A marvelously gritty image Dana and i like it!

Lovely landscape, shadows and light are cool Dana...well done again!

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to look and comment.  

Peter.  I thought it fairly dramatic as well and was happy to hear that you thought the treatment worked.  I struggle with that a bit and the feedback is appreciated.  

David.  It is pretty aggressive and that was intentional.  If you think it is powerful then it works for me.  

Raymond.  Gritty, what an apt adjective.  It does feel gritty.  

Teddy.  Pleased that you liked the light and shadows (photography reduced to its essential elements).  

Thanks again to everyone for their thoughts.  All the best.  Dana...
