Is it? I just want to improve? There are many people out there with far better images, and I'd like to be at that standard and if possible help someone else, now that alone is worth the point.
cheryl thank you for your input my last comments to Jordon pointed out how i felt He/She was coming across there was nothing in the way of advice. I feel I was justified in my comments back. I have had no response to state I had taken this advice the wrong way. So i think it is best left as it was. Thanks for your comments Jon
PS. if you look more closely I have had more than one CC.
An image only tells a story if it "speaks" to the viewer, and every viewer is different, so it won't speak to everyone (whether the creator had a motive or not)... that's why art is subjective.
I think the first one is okay, but to me its mostly just a showcase of the processing technique. However, I really like the eerie mood of the second one, it makes me think of a painting and would look good printed (I would just touch-up some of the halos).
The story would be different for each viewer.also why does there have to be a story? whats wrong with, just as you say "a pretty picture"?
Have a look at mad jon, i would be interested on you opinion there?
