Very moving.
Clever concept, brilliant execution.
By far one of the best photomanips I have ever seen.
I like it, but I found the texture overlay (the floral/viney one) to pull my eyes away from the key parts of the image. It's subtle and effective in the lower half, but I think it is too pronounced and distracting in the upper half/sky.

wow.. thank you so much.
haha, good point. I ad agree the texture is too stong, but I made this ages ago, so I doubt I'll ever get around to editing it..

thanks again.

This is just beautiful. I love the colors, the idea, the unique concept of it. Its beautiful in its simplicity and its true to itself. It STANDS OUT and doesn't look like everyone elses work I suppose is what I'm saying. This is too beautiful not to be hanging on walls - I HOPE you decide to make it a print. Its simply stunning.

Wow, thank you so much..
It means so much to me for you to leave me such a sweet comment.

As about prints... I'd really like use dA prints, but you have to be 18 (I've got 3 years to go), and the background stock photo I used was rather small, so I doubt I'll be able to print it. =\

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Appears she has been waiting for the rain for some time. A strange place for a boat with the growth of the field all around. Excellent job blending the elements.

Haha, indeed she has. I agree with that, it is a very strange place for a boat, but all the more reason to use the stock photo!

I would love a print of this. Are you going to be offering them in the future? It's so gorgeous!

DoNotAttempt In reply to afox2004 [2006-01-25 20:26:48 +0000 UTC]

Well, if by "in the future" you mean "in three years and eleven days", then yes, I am going to have this as a print. But until them dA prevents from buying/selling prints until I'm 18. I have no idea why they made up this rule (since this is a new thing), but that's life for you.

But I'm thinking of starting my own prints store, since I can't use dAPrints, I'll keep you posted on that, if you'd like.

Thank you!
