Excellent job "D". Fantastic work!
Fantastic job,great idea and again amazing sky!
so many ideas, there! one Pink Floyd hint (..we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl..."), then the paradox of the sign (crocodile around this area)... gawrsh, that will drive mad a poor guy! xcellent xcellent
... like being a goldfish with everyone staring but when i first enter i also see signs of care and tenderness! simply divine!
Wonderful work!! This is great art. When I worked at my nursing job I felt like I was in a fishbowl, lol. Brava!
Just a lucky guy in his bowl!!! Gorgeous composition, Dany, and very meaningful! Beautiful landscape, love especially that great sky and the sun rays. Fantastic light too!
this is really cool! Great job...
This one just simply made me smile! :-) Excellent job D.
Wow... I'm not sure, but I think that's ME in that fish bowl LOL. Very cool image, I like it alot.
Nice composition!
If this were not such a sad statement of disastrous 'truth' - I would likely be very amused. However - this image boldly states that our lakes, rivers and ponds are all becoming so polluted as to not support our marine life. The sky is trying to purify everything but too much damage from man has descended upon our forests and waterways. I love the purity of the glass fish bowl and the poor tiny goldfish forced to live as a prisoner in it - (its only real safe haven). Just yesterday, an alligator was seen threatening a young child here in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada - why - because some thoughtless individual tired of their exotic pet and released it into a residential area pond. Pollution comes in many flavors, and it can sometimes strike back if not bite. Well done Danny - excellent work.
It is an excellent work...!! what they impress me is the spectacular effects of light that there is in the sky, and the transparency of the fishbowl..!! the reflections of the water contribute another element of great interest to the design..!!
Many thoughts so I ad mine. We always think it is better somewhere else and can't read the danger signs anyway. Most times, where we are is as good as it gets. Very good composition and use of light to create distance and mood.
Very, very fantastic idea!!! I like one!! Excellent artwork!!!
I love this one. It's really a treat. Wonderful surrealism and metaphor.
Excellent artwork!!!! Beautifully composed and executed and on top of that , an image that makes you stop to think!!
Stop and think...oh no don't make me do that...I feel like I've been tossed out of the fish bowl into the crocodile tank.....somebody help me!!!!! Excellent image!
LoL Excellent idea... :)
Grreat one Danny, well done!
We Can't leave all the life in a bubble .... Let's the fish be free, if he is mischievous he will survive !
I don't know what is better: a shorter life in freedom or a longer life in safe "prison" ... but does freedom exist? Wonderful details, colors and light! Excellent artwork again!
When lies are glass, good and evil shimmer on the two sides of an unsearchable void.
I agree with Borsy .... Not only is your work well executed and carries your very unique style, it also evokes powerful feelings. Very Well Done My Friend !!!!!
For me - It represents Isolation - Human existance seems very similar - Even though we can physicly stand out in a wide open space - Our Soul is contained - Isolated - within - Much like the fish in the bowl - And - Just as fragile - When the bowl breaks - The fish will be released to swim freely - So rests the fait of Our Souls - Stimulating Imagery - Excellent execution - Super Surrealistic -
Fantastic work!
fascinating!
LOL! Oh man I love your stuff. Your ideas spawn other ideas, not only about your presented work but my own creative thought process as well. OK, I'm babbling...thanks for a refreshing visual break. -jay
First a smile, then a lot of thoghts the image gave me. Great work!
Stiking image - full of power and thought provoking! Does the goldfish feel entirely safe - watching the world from the precarious position that he finds himself involved in? It certainly prods the ivory tower academics into thinking about real danger! Wonderful!
I can say nothing that hasn't already been mentioned above, but I will add that you work is some of the most unique at blending imagery and themes. Well done Danny :-)
