Towards the Light

[John 2]

A bit of an experiment for me. I think I should characterise this as "Sharon Art" as it is very much prompted by her style. Based on a recent comment that you made Sharon.

Well it works for me John, could be a cut scene image from a post apocalyptic movie, that was my first impression.
Nicely done

[Kris V]

This is such a great picture! I'm jealous......

I'm really liking the concept of the figures "moving toward the light". IMHO, it would be better if
you could get rid of the long hallway appearance...maybe with floating figures as in after death.

Does that sound depressing or what?

[Barbara Ponder]

Love it! It screams book cover! My only critique and maybe better put as a question is, could the green and yellow squiggly lines be toned down just a tad?

[IzzieK]

I am the same as Barbara but she beat me to the punch line...This is a moving image, Sharon-ish style but different...the first thing I noticed were those greenish things up there...I thought they were hands a la the Creation image/drawing as depicted in Genesis' Let there be...but it was not and so disappointed. Can this be cloned out nicely? Just a thought...

For me John, shots like this are a hit or a miss, you IMO, have got a direct hit with this, well done Sharon, I mean John

[Mike Buckley]

Wonderful creativity and execution! The black border doesn't work for me, but I'm so lousy at choosing borders I don't have any better ideas to suggest other than white, which is always a safe choice.

[Ziggy]

Are they Zombies?

Very creative.

[John 2]

Thanks all for the feedback.

William, who knows what it's like. When I get there I will let you know.

Barbara, Izzie, guiding angels perhaps? They were part of the base shot and I quite like them (I think).

Not sure what they are Ziggy. It's a complete construct.

Thank you mike. As for the border, I tend towards a neutral dark grey anyway and in this case, I thought it needed a darker rather than a lighter BG because the range of tones isn't that big and a lighter border might have competed. Who knows?

I loved the image John I wouldn't put any borders though as they limit the feeling of vastness in the image.

[John 2]

Thanks Binnur. The use of borders is becoming borderline. Needs a re think.

[FootLoose]

Nice work, John. I think the frame detracts from it, though. There are other ways of 'framing' an image besides the geometric

[John 2]

Thanks Greg. I've always tried to "mount" my images just as you would finish off a print but ..................

[Bud Ralston]

Nice one, John! I agree with others that the wide border detracts a bit. I would still use a border though.

Aloha, Bud

[John 2]

Thanks Bud. It does work for the right image but I tend to use it all the time. Time for a change.
