grungeworks Mrs. Bigglesby

Thanks for your comments/rates.

It makes me think of Modigliani...

Very creative. She seems very soft compared to the rest of the image. Very compelling.

Yann:  Yes, I believe so. Thanks for the comment.

Bob: The softness comes from my inexperience with the technique. Hopefully I can sharpen it up.Thanks!

I can't begin to understand the technique, but I think this is masterful.

The background is rather interesting. Also the expression on Mrs. Bigglesby is quite charming.

good and unique idea...nice shot..congrats

Joe, I always exepect some surprise on your files... ;-)) this reminds me the mirrors that are changing the way one is really reflected in them.... Funny , nice and creative in your using the technic. Nice hint of humour as well.

pure magic and pure fun!!!

It is Mrs. Bigglesby! Terrific stuff. Warm regards...

Creatively comical :-)

excellent creative work Joseph

Great image. Reminds me a little of those tribal wose necks have been lengthened by metal rings. Her face is priceless, and I think this image would have been at least as good cropped just below the clock chimes. Excellent color.

...played organ in our church. Over-sized black shoes, thick-soled, pumping the pedals like pistons. She was nice enough. She swayed a little on the organ bench, to and fro. singing harmony under her breath. In between songs, she was still as a statue. Breathless. Staring at the minister without blinking throughout the sermon. Then as the altar call began, she roused, almost as if sound-activated. At the end, she disappeared out the side door. A few said she smoked cigarettes during the week. Ugly rumors. She always smelled like wintergreen to me.

Amedio Moodiglianni, it is. You continue to stretch the envelop, pun, of course, intended.

Bob: It's just clicks and whistles :) Thanks again!

Tero: I'm not surprised at all that you mentioned the BG. It's a motion blur pan of some tall winter grass. I thought the golden tones worked well with the lighting and hat. Thanks!

Mehmet: You're always quick to view my work. Thanks a lot!

Pnina: Thank you very much. I love the interpretation with the mirrors. :)

Deb: Fun mostly, except when I have to redo certain parts a few times over! Thanks!

Joseph: Really appreciate that!

Cherlyn: Thank you much! :)

Chaba: Thanks for your feedback!

Roger: LOL. That's funny. I got a little lucky with her face. It changed when I stretched it out . Thanks for the ideas!

Jeff: You're killin me with that one. LOL. Great story. I can totally picture it! You've nailed it fairly well.

Emmanuel: Your continued support means a lot !! Modigliani-although I didn't know his name, I was aiming for something like that.

Long story short: everything is perfect about it. 7/7

Very funny and creative. Reagrds

Jose: Thank you my friend.

Glauco: Your photos are inspiring. Thank you.

Richard: Thanks for stopping by.

Doug: Thanks for viewing!

Inspired work,perfectly done!

To my eye, this is Joe's interpretation of the American heartland. This is shades of Grant Woods' "American Gothic." Kudos to you, Joseph! This is a masterpiece; and I wouldn't change a thing! Cheers! Chris

This is a masterpiece! Everything fits perfectly, the colors, the motives and objects, the effect, the angle of view...a masterpiece!
