Beautiful image. What can I say about this, it has everything. Beautiful colors, depth, warmth and subject. I love the soft look in the background and the fine detail in the foreground. Well done.

What a study. Drifting, source of light, pastel colors, shadows. This has an excellent appeal, focus and very soothing to look at. This has a beautiful appeal. Just looking , eludes serenity and peace. This is beautiful and creative.

Comment from joefoulks


Great job on the detail, very realistic. The murky green water is also well done, the way it becomes obscure into the mist.
Is that a bird against the sun? If so, too sharp. A butterfly? If so, just right. It's a matter of perspective.
I think that light source behind the bird should have a greenish/yellowish tint to it.

Comment from blackell


Lovely feel of the willowy strands of foxtail in the wind. The fog is like a fading old photo which adds depth to the gray wall that the fog would be. Personally it gives me an eerie feeling but if that is what you were aiming for, you did a good job. The ground area feels as if it is under water, adding to my personal discomfort. It is definitely a mystery that you have created.

    Mr. C, your comments leave me with the impression that you thought you were reviewing a photo. I'm really glad you didn't get into anything technical regarding cameras, cause I know nothing about photography, LOL. I truly appreciate your review and regard it as a super compliment. Thank you so much!! :)shawn
Comment from Shellyrae1


I love everything about this piece...the monochromatic color scheme, the wheat? stalks, the way the water blends into the textured background and the bird flying into the hazy sun. Absolutely gorgeous!

Comment from cannun


I love this shot! It gives you the feel of fall. Love the colors. Nice framing. The glimpse of the sun through the fog is awesome. Especially with the lone bird flying there. Great work!

    Cannun, it's a digtital painting, so don't really know if a SHOT was involved, but to get a wonderful review regarding a photo is truly a compliment. Thank you so very very much!! :)shawn
Comment from Shari_K


It's great how something as simple of foxtails can look so great. You've done a great job with this photo. I love the fog and the water. Looks like some sunlight in the background? Excellent photo!

    Even though it's not a photo, Shari, I take that as a great compliment. This one is a digital painting and I thank you ever so much for the wonderful review. I truly appreciate it. :)shawn

    Sorry about that. It is beautiful and very creative. I guess its a good thing that your painting was amazing enough to look like a photo?
reply by the author on 20-Sep-2012
    Oh yes, a great compliment :) What throws me is when reviewers talk tech camera jargon, cause I know zilch about photography, LOL. Just kidding--again, thank you, Shari!!
