Thought Provoking

Resubmitting this image with a crop suggestion from Pnina Evental.

Thanks Pnina.

Cool shot. Love the composition and colours. It's also original which I can appreciate.

very original pic!!!

Looks almost like she's part of the painting. Nice work!

Beautifuly and originaly composed Howard, Colors are very appealling. Pnina

Molto bella e originale. complimenti. sergio

Howard - will you post the original as an attachment here in the comments thread ... I didn't get to see the original post.

As it is, I like it ... the composition seems to wind its way to the lower right corner. In fact, the mathematician in me sees the golden ratio here. Yeah, I'm a nerd! :-)

I must say that I also like the monochromatic feel. Nice work!!

Really funny photograph!

I like the way it looks like she's almost inside the painting (?)

Super shot. Love it.

Light, colors and composition!!

Lou Ann, that stuff is so far over my head I can't see daylight! Here's the original posting.

 

Ahhhhh, I have been attacked by the doublethreenocomment monster!!!

The crop creates a very strong composition and a "painting within a painting" effect. I love it this way!!

Very clever image, Howard. Strong on creativity with good aesthetics.

Great photography ...Howard . Bravo !

Crop is much, much better from the original. Simple lines and no distraction from the computer that drew my eyes instead of the woman and painting. Linda's right - it's like a painting of a painting now.

I have seen the original and love this crop. Incredible light in this really provocative shot: from emptiness to emptiness ( but luminous)

wow. wow. bravoooooooooo.. just Perfect.

Love it so much, I am just like entering with her in the painting. superb. excellent composition. bravo dear Howard!

Howard- I love the new crop. The composition is much, much better, in my opinion. It draws my eyes in much better! Beautiful job!

Wonderful, a painting in Your painting,I am the next demension here. color and light,crop, perfect.

Howard, The re-Crop works. I have a sense of depth looking through the window (the painting) through a room. Further the geometric wall lines tie to the lines in the painting. Of course the viewer adds the final needed human touch. Nice work. Regards, Scott

Kind of like Mondian squares. This definitely works. I also like how the painting communicates depth past the 2 dimensional wall. Very cool, Howard! ^_^

Strong and very interesting composition! I like how the color of the wall transfers to the color of the picture, however they stay separate, because the frame and the picture are lighter. There is also combination of 2D objects containing 3D effects.

Howard...I think this is an outstanding photograph. It immediately appealed to the mathematician in me, and when I read Lou Ann's comments about the golden ratio I realized why. The image is divided into a series of rectangles that spiral down to the lower right. And the tones tie it all together. Rick Oh...and thanks for sharing the original. I wish more of us would do that so we could all learn.

A painting within painting. Your cropping and perspective are excellent,Howard. Hat's off!

really interesting, i like it
