Your intention was good and I understand what you where trying to achieve here - the dancer -however, looks unfinished to me - almost like a mirage and even spooky - but that might be intentionally of course - I got the impression you was in a hurry when created this piece - it needs some more work on the details, I am just here to tell you my honest opinion so I hope you understand I don't write this to put you down in any way - I have seen other work that you have done - and this isn't the very best of them, look forward to your next one instead...

Thank you very much Carolisa for your honest review. I always appreciate honesty. I understand that not everybody like everything we do. Where would we be without disagreement and discussion? Our art would stagnate.
You are right that the look of the dancer is intentional, I wanted this 'ghostly' look what I see more as a dream that may the viewer put himself in the open place.
You are not right that I was in a hurry with this creation. That is a think I would never do. I better miss a contest than not work a picture thoroughly. I spend weeks thinking and rethinking the concept of the card before I went to work on it. Than I think I spend more time of actual work on this card than on most of my creations. Actually this card was made as a New Years greeting for my friends before the contest were announced. But anyway I appreciate your honesty and the friendly form you wrote it in highly. ~Cleo

Comment from ZenTrip
Beautiful, cleo.
Can't think of a better place to dance. Love your stars in the background.
The ballerina is lovely and fits in perfectly with the concept and design and the reflecting bottom of the crystal bowl - how unique and original.
Miracles do happen and come in all shapes and sizes, and happen to all who believe in them - as you remind us. And we should dream big for dreams do come true - so I'm so glad you've included them for us all. What a wonderful way to help us remember to embrace the moments we are given.
Beautiful colors and I should add that the treatment of the ballerina couldn't be more perfect. She seems to dance gracefully on the edges of time which is so appropriate.
As always your philosophy of providing hope to the human spirit with your photos and mixed media brings excitement and beauty to all of us.
May 2009 be the most exciting year ever. And may your works continue to show us your insightful views into life and art.

Thank you for your enthusiastic, encouraging and spirit lifting review. You really see everything every time. I love your sentence of dancing "on the edges of time". I didn't think 'the edges' but you are absolutely right.
I wish 2009 will be the most exciting and satisfiing year ever for you.

Thanks, cleo. May it be exactly that for you too. Thank you for all your help this past year. Looking for a great sharing of photos in the New Year.
