Bravo Michael, Very nice composition. Well thought out and very well done, ciao Giangiorgio

Giangiorgio, I always can count on you to supply honest reviews. This is no exception. - - My best always, michael - -Ciao!

Hi Michael,

 

I like the square crop of this image and the fact that you have made two transparant layers of photos which could have been made in the same spot (at least with some form of 'content overlap'). I'm not a fan of the colors, although they don't bother me. Well seen (natural) abstract! Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, can you please elaborate on why "[you're[ not a fan of the colors? As one of my mentors, thanks in advance. - - My best always, michael

Hi Michael,

 

it's just a matter of how I think the colors you chose enhance/detract from the scene compared to the colors I would have chosen, so it's not 'bad' at all. That's why I said they don't bother me. What I would like to see here are strong colors (not necessarily deep blue and cyan and palm green); now the colors look pastel-like, lending a sense of frailty to the image that doesn't go so well with what we see (in my book). I hope I've clarified my take on this. I much appreciate the fact you asked for this clarification; as you know by now, I'm always honest in my comments and I like to keep it that way. Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, I'd be disappointed if you say what you think I'd like to hear.
