Hi Nancy.. Your style has always split an image between reality and fantasy. I also find that the further your talent progresses the harder it is to determine what part of the take is real and what part is your added fantasy.

Because of that I find the usual image review I would give is somehow irrelevant. Since your style is more in line with abstractionism, I will review your images in the same mode I use for Ray Gordon - what do I see, what does it say to me?

I see an image composed of many shades of green. I see the well-focused remnants of a plant of unknown origin centered in a frame backed by a homogenous bokeh. I see a well thought out composition centered on great initial impact.

Initial visual impression - an alien plant transporting through a temporal time vortex.

Love it... Bob

cool approach. the swirl shaded green background does enhance the POV. the angle of the shot of this plant is great. the outline is cool. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative approach and awesome work overall

This looks like a winner for this contest. I can't stop looking at this beautiful scene that you've presented here. Those leaves are just phenomenally beautiful. I love how you created the swirling backdrop to highlight your subject matter. Excellent entry.

    Hi Ray, I tried to find something that would be a good pick for the "green contest"! Loved the look of this plant so I picked it as my entry. I'm so glad you noticed my attempt of giving this a 3D look. Thank you for the wonderful review! :o) Nancy

Comment from Kathy Banich


Nancy, there is no doubt about it, "I'm definitely seeing 'GREEN'. LOL

For this contest, you have creatively and effectively produced an intriguing image that reminds me of a hypnotic spiral, with the plant emerging from its center vortex. Your artistic process has successfully applied depth and near-3D imagery, making the piece visually captivating. Best of luck in the contest.

What a stunning capture of the plant! The framing is excellent, and the interplay of light, shadows, and colours creates a harmonious composition. Great job! This deserves a six,but sorry to say I have run out of sixes. Good luck in the contest!

This is a beautiful entry into the contest and very appropriate. The leaves are so clear, well defined and fan out beautifully. The background compliments the presentation as a whole. Good luck in the contest.
