2019 Project 52 Judith Noble (Urbanflyer) 1st quarter C & C

While I find the concept interesting, I don't love the dark right hand side of the image.

Why not crop off that part of the image and flip it 90 degrees to come up with something more abstract?

Understand the crop suggestion. Have to think about the rotation--I am all for abstraction and I think it does work but would not have thought to go in that direction myself. Thanks for the thought.

The main reason I went to the horizontal orientation is that:

(a) It looks more stable than a tall, skinny vertical image. It also works well on a computer screen given the orientation of these devices; and

(b) It adds a layer of abstraction. If we look at the vertical orientation, it doesn't take long to figure out what we are looking at, but turn it 90 degrees and things don't make intuitive sense so the image is more abstract.

Nice effort, I think there needs to be a bit more separation between the ice sculpture and the ground.

My feelings as well. However the fact that you ventured out at all in the weather you have been having leaves me full of admiration.

[FootLoose]

I have to agree about the separation problem but otherwise I think it is a well framed minimalist composition.

Week 7--Old and New--Hellebore

I like the composition - both the arrangement of the flowers and the sweep of the stems.

The change in the colour of the background (grey to cream) is unfortunate IMHO.

Week 7, nicely composed.

Week 9--Utility Box 2

Week 8 has potential, works well as pattern theme and the touch of shadow helps lift the outgrowth from the surface. I think what constraints the image is that tone overpowers textures and shapes.

[Shadowman]

Week 9, very dynamic, somehow the particulars colors and angles bring forth other ominous imagery.

Thanks for commenting!

Week 8 - A well seen opportunity.

Week 9 - Carefully composed and well executed, but my eye does not rest anywhere.

"Orange", interesting composition, is that surface ice?
