Description
I've had two days off for half-term, so I managed to create an entirely new image! (Actually two, but I'm not too happy with the other one. A third is brewing as I type...). Of course, I should have been marking term papers, but that's another story altogether.
Stonemason's Enchanted Forest with a less than enchanting military type, who happens to have discovered my hiding place.
I do hope that Stonemason is OK in Christchurch. This image was created before I knew about the earthquake, and is dedicated to all victims of the irresistible forces of nature.

Wonderful composition and lighting on this one....awesome :)
Well Craig, I'm back to comment on some 'straight' images. I'll return to your further work with Tara next week. (She wrote to me to explain more of your process together, and it helped me understand it even better...) I spoke of atmosphere in your work, and this is another example: It seems bathed by a mid day haze, filtered by the thickness of forest-vegetation. Fine contrast between foreground, midground and background, because each is given a different saturation as one goes back.These 'layers' make it a very graphic piece; fine work on that. And the foreground vegetation actually has a slight translucence, in the tree/vine about 3 inches in from the right. And you've encircled your female (intentionally or intuitively) in the curve of the land, the curve of the trunk, and in the hard & dark leaves above her. (A fine visual choice, Craig.) Further, your light on her is very strong, dissolving & revealing simultaneously, and casting a peach brown hue over everything. And she's strikingly real too, with a look of having just been interrupted to glance over at whoever is spying on her. My fav's haven't worked much of late (they show up & then disappear). And I've been lazy at getting them fixed, so I've not done a fav in a month. So just know, I'd have fav'd a number of these images, if the function were normal. When I get it fixed, I'll start posting fav's again. But fine work, wonderful & suggestive lighting, and a nice contrast between the woman and her dreamy surroundings. You work with atmosphere extremely well...
Great scene build up !
