grungeworks Strings and Wings

Stunning execution, very effective & artistic, Joseph! Happy new year 2OO8!

I think I prefer this version, Joseph. There is more narrative in it. Best regards.

I much prefer this version which is still a bit sombre but with the introduction of the light colored nymph at the bottom, there is a 'lift'.

 

I like the rich red material and the butterflies. The guitar 'box' (Right term?) blends into the black dress but I can figure out that it is a guitar. The right side has what looks like material but I can't quite make out what it is. Maybe it is my monitor. Overall I love the creativity it took to make this image.

 

This may end up as 'commercial' and I was once told - "the photographer has a vision and an image but it is ultimately what the client likes is what is important".

 

Keep up the good work.

very good composition really...congrats.regards.happy new year

Thanks for looking. I could use ideas for a title.

Very good and artistic composition Joseph.

Really beautiful original work, Joseph!

Excellent work love the style,very colourful and vibrant.Would go for the "Angel" or "Butterfly Effect" title-;)

"Mdm Butterfly?" A picture that stimulates one's imagination. Very creative, Joseph.

Beutiful and creative work Joseph. Congrats and happy new year 2008.

 

Best regards.

A fine treatment and an intriguing image!

EXCELLENT! Title suggestion? - "With Strings and Wings". Merry Xmas!

richard dimitris tony mehmet michael ruud alina cherlyn a massa joseh lester: Many thanks for your observations and (title)suggestions. As per comments and advice from Tony Hadley and Darren Jones, I went back and smoothed up the skin. (hit refresh). I think it gave me more of the result I was looking for. Your input is like being in a classroom, only for free! :o)

Beautiflu work

 

Merry Christmas nad Happy New year to oyu my dear friend.

interesting composition, amazing mood, well done

This calls up all sorts of images. Gothic ghost stories, fairy-sightings, Victorian parlors aging along with their occupants, and somewhere in the distance a heavy metal guitar. A jarring composition or visual mosaic, very well done.

creative piece indeed...and the title strings and wings seems good...

Way creative and artistic, Josph. It's an image that holds atention from bottom to top and the other way round.

Very nice and artistic,ilike it! Happy new year.

 

 

PERFECT. You did a great job on this version. I think it is your best yet. Keep up the great work. Darren

afshin antanas jeff pnf paula ulrika darren: Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Jeff-I love your interpretations. It's influenced by the art nouveau style, except twisted a bit:o)

Paula-that means a lot coming from a digital master artist.

Darren-thanks again for your help in design refinement.

 

"Strings and Wings"   I think I like that too! Thanks Lester!

Interesting combination of subjects. Much to see. I like it.

This image conjures up a Joni Mitchell song in my mind, "Angel Spread Your Wings/ I want to to fly away with you".

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Joseph. It was fun knowing you the past year.

Very interesting execution Joe, "a woman butterfly" it reminds me PR announcements for the theatre ,done by some of the impressionists artists( era). I like the BG, her look, the guitar?The BG ornaments. I wonder what is the source it was done from.Creative!

Barbara-Thanks for stopping by.

Emmanuel- I like those lyrics. And I hope we get to know eachother better in 2008.

pnina-I am trying to mix an old style into a modern feel. The source is a photo I took almost two years ago with bad lighting technique. I added a lot with brushes.
