my sea of tears

Comment:
Moody feeling conveyed by absence of bright tones, rumpled bedding, and gathering shadows makes a visual allusion perhaps more toward depression than sadness. The title gives hints about the narrative, but may not be a sufficient to anchor the viewer in this ocean.

Waiting for Spring

Comment:
Abstract beauty, metal and rust making visual poetry together, existing simply for what it is without demanding narrative, comfortable feeling despite the sharply defined edges in an undefined setting, and oddly familiar, like the strange corners of our lives.

We are free no more

Comment:
A glimpse into fairy worlds, natural elements combined with a delicate touch, a sideways glance that both enchants and warns, all done with careful choice of tones and textures. Beautifully done.

Disturbing, haunting, mysterious feeling, with ambiguity supporting any number of interpretations yet leaving our questions unanswered. One eye closed, mismatched earrings, skin imperfections, close up perspective - all contribute to a sense of somehow intensified reality.

No Tracks

Comment:
This path, a smoothly undisturbed transition from formal symmetry toward looming complexity, takes our imagination for a stroll into a world rich with elements of far eastern philosophy.

Pitter Patter

Comment:
Incredible rhyming of rectangular windows and fence divisions with the straight umbrella sticks and the curved railing elements with the umbrella tops makes a strong visual setting for the rhythm of heavy rain hitting the water. Wondering why anyone (or any group) would be out walking in this wetness launches complex branching internal narrative, as happens with the best of art.

Raindrops keep falling (and I'm dead)
by PenelopeK

Comment:
Somehow this reminds me of "still life" paintings that include dead rabbits on the table along with other objects. This gracefully escapes from the eye-candy approach to art. I would hang this in a commercial art gallery and put a high price on it, perhaps with a different title.

Wishes sometimes do come true

Comment:
Although some might have approached this with a black and white treatment to take advantage of the lush variations in luminosity, sticking with color and highlighting the range from cyan through subtle orange works very well. The composition generates a sense of a remote, exotic, and perhaps lonesome setting that nevertheless possesses a special beauty.

The Diva
by Donna-Dee

Comment:
This evokes memories of classical plant/art images, with expert use of light and dark confirming skills in the craft that let you achieve an excellent result with obviously good artistic sensibility.

They would seek a new symbol of freedom

Yes, a bird in flight despite the psychedelic surroundings, making an emotional impact befitting an art challenge. The unusual color choices work well here and giving additional interest to the unique and stunning image.
