Thumb-up Thumb-up Thumb-up    from ruffles/Steve (1,796) Send mail to this user on February 15, 2005 1:00:02 AM CST (1) Early critique

I really like this. I love that the figures have no face. It helps me to imagine myself and wife in the pic. I like the soft light and the way it brings out the texture in the figures. Good job.

Steve,

Thanks for your comment. That's a unique insight that I hadn't considered.

Thanks very much. Jeff

Jeff, it is not easy to present somebody else's art and be able to enhance and add to it. You have done a very good job presenting this statuette under excellent lighting that really adds a lot to the original piece. I disagree with the previous review and think that the blue-black gradient works great.

Enrique,

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I actually shot this in 4 different primary colors: blue, yellow, red, and green. For some reason, the blue just appealed to me more.

Best regards, Jeff

Hi Jeff :) Yes the lighting is romantic and very pleasant. Though I would perhaps thought of using another color other than blue. When I think of blue I think of cold, maybe a nice tone of pink with a touch of purple or red would add to the theme.
