travels, landscapes and special moments Places I Know 1602_9682

Discovering the natural world,seeking its forms, its patterns, its overall

essence is my need to capture that moment and create something of that

moment. It teaches me to look again at the familiar and see something new

that I did not see or feel before, it is unexpected and a wonderful feeling of

rediscovery.

Cheers to that, George!

Yes a super image, nicely processed and presented, very good. Best regards Ken.

...but not a great watercolour, and not photographic enough for a photo critique. I'm not panning your photograph, it's just in the wrong place.

Thank you Terry for your comment that raises few questions in my mind. This was a photograph and put into the category of "Digital Alternation"  critique. It was my decision and choice of how much manipulation I should apply in crafting this image of what I had in mind . For me all arts have always involved some level of manipulation be it painting, stone carving and photography etc.; it is the artist choice and decision how far one should go with the process in producing work that is a function of themselves. After all, we are in the digital age and photoshop and other software allow us to experiment and go beyond the norm, they are available to everyone to play with to produce original work and have some fun. When producing work like this is an adventure of being creative. Take care.

I don't care how you produced this image, what counts for me is the final result and it is probably how you so well perceived this site and then expressed it in manipulation. The latter seems to have the quality of minimalising the details in order to maximize the aesthetic and emtional result. Thanks for your recent comment on one of my photos that could have benefitted from a more focussed expression. You have stimulated by your image here my interest in trying manipulation to provide a more minimalist and focussed visual communication.

exceptional painting!
