This is COOL!!!! Appears as if one is peering through a key hole at two people "smooching". :)) Very unique image Vallery!! Congrats...LJ

I'm glad you noticed. I thought there was a human quality to it as well. They almost seem happy. Odd isn't it? ;-) vallery b

Beautiful silhouetted forms and great colour. Nice work Vallery. Regards, Kelvin.

Are you happy with the anonymous ratings?

I just don't know what to think about ratings. After teaching for 10 years I know how rating a person's work is subjective. At least when I handed a student his/her grade I was there to talk with them and explain and answer questions and encourage. That is not the case here at PN. I suppose anonymous doesn't bother me so much because I have no clue who is doing it and it could be anybody - who knows why they rate it,what they know, think, or care about in the world. It could be our subjective tastes or seeing eye that makes the difference. Maybe a bad mood, or good mood for that matter....A multitude of reasons come to mind.

I know I was a tough grader but i knew what to expect out of my students as I interacted with them and knew what would curtail their creativity or push their creativity. This is the internet and many people can be anything.

I like PN because for the most part it is a creative motivator and it is great to converse on the subject at hand and exchange criticisms as well as anonymous ratings.

Interesting question Catalin...how do you feel?

We all have the right to rate a limited number of works with a 7 and we should have the right to rate a limited number of works with a 3 during 24 hours.

 

Best regards
