*cei- :
focus is spot on - you can see the veins in the leaves
*hakfest :
I'm not a fan of the twigs, they remind me of witches' nails and cruella deville. But i'm thinking that's personal preference.
*cei- :
the impact is striking - not many photos are this vibrant. i also like the mix of yellow/orange/green
*hakfest :
The colours are enjoyable yes
*cei- :
mm, I think the twigs give it structure - without them it'd be in trouble
*hakfest :
good point
*hakfest :
What do you think about the bits of sky breaking through?
*cei- :
I like them
*cei- :
it's just another splash of colour, giving some variation and highlights
*cei- :
they draw the eye round the piece
*hakfest :
Like a trail of sorts?
*cei- :
well, because the piece lacks a single focus point
*cei- :
the blues act as areas of absolute contrast - so the eye roves round the whole piece
*cei- :
hopping from blue to blue
*hakfest :
good stuff!
