Comment from AlanC


The mood to this is very lonely. And the oasis is just nearby but the person far away. I like how the moon was treated. A lovely digital artwork. Good job!

Wow, this is great! Excellent job on the palm trees and the stranger and his shadow. Cool texture in the sand. Beautiful moon and solitary star. Looks like an oasis semi-hidden in the shadows of the palms, too. Very cool. I have no suggestions for improvement. Well done!

    You're welcome. It's a really nice image.

    You know what's funny? I'm a guy, but I once took this "What's your native Indian name" type of quiz on Facebook, and it came up with Moon Willow, so when I saw your username I had to look twice. hahaha
reply by the author on 30-Sep-2011
    Oh how cool! I chose the name approx. 15 years ago, because I love the moon and my favorite tree is the weeping willow, so I just combined the two. I wonder what my Indian name would be. I'll have to check that out. That's really neat, Moon Willow :)

    Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what the program on FB was called that gave me that name, but it was funny for sure.

    I went looking through your portfolio a bit and wow, this is not your only excellent image, you have some talent! What part of SoCal do you live in? I'm in L.A.

This will have to be a virtual six, since I don't have one.
It is a marvelous image.
Black and white is the perfect choice.
Brings all kinds of feelings.
It is so good to see you again.
Great work.
Jorge.

Comment from simonka


This is fabulous, I haven't a clue how this kind of digital work is done, but whatever your doing, keep it up. This is now my new favourite. Great shadow and fill light, highlights, and so many shades from black to white. Excellent potential for us to use our imagination. Great job!
