I love the composition and the image really grabbed my attention. The colors blend well. The purple sphere in front of the larger planet gives the picture perspective so the figure is looks like he is juggling with the planets. My one suggestion would be no baseball cap on the figure - I found it distracting... well I hope it is a cap and not a large nose?

    Thank you very much! You made my day with your kind review and your terrific rating. I put the baseball cap on in purpose in leak of a better idea. A Stetson or A bowl hat wouldn't quite do it. That guy looks to much like a god without, but is supposed to look like an ordinary human. Any ideas what could replace the cap?

    Perhaps he should look like a god - he is juggling the fates of those worlds and you did call the peice 'The Power'. Who has more power than a deity? Whatever you decide, I still think it is very good.

    Maybe I am totally off then. The message seems not to go power well to you. Looking like a god would go against the meaning of the piece. The meaning is: Mankind believes to be master of the universe, but is only part of it. With the great power mankind indeed has, man is able to embrace the cosmos and all what is in it or to destroy our universe.

    Aha! Now I see. As with all art, perseption is different from one person to the other. Thank you for explaining your meaning.

    It would be very boring if we would have all the same perception.
Comment from Mr Jones


well it has turned out to be a rather wonderful construction + a lot of thought and detail placed within the image. the burning planet to the right does seem to have a 'top power' about it and the man in this position, could be seen to be some type of cosmic conducter, or a simple being, embracing the order of life in the universe.

Comment from david F


well if you took what i have just said in my previous review , then trebbled the impact that your skill and magic making has on me, tho a big part of me wants to rise up thro the cosmos to merge with all mankind(and womankind too of course) (especially womankind) another part (tho mainly due to my admiration of your technical prowess,i feel now both feet stuck in the primeveil mud.) tho yet again thro dreams and imagination maybe i can sour and rise above the mundain of life , Excellent work Cleo , so enjoyable

    Thank you for your great review and the terrific rating. I guess you rise up to cosmos and merge with womankind any time you want to.
    Don't worry about the feel of sticking in the mud. I get that feel each time I see one of your drawings. I guess that makes us even. LOL ;-}

Comment from Lynnette Smallwood


I quite like this picture. It shows that the power of the universe is in man, not some religion. The observer of the quantum field owning his own power. Great job.

The power of the universe given to man to abuse. How timely as I am watching on TV the creation of our universe and islands being formed. We take earth every day but very seldom stop to think how fragile it is. A fantastic photo and I had 6.s
