If I may..?
The oooooonly piece of constructive critisism I could possibly give you, from the perspective of a viewer only, is that several of your pieces such as the ones with the crows in them use the same stock image multiple times through the piece. Bein' perfectly honest here... There are several things I reeeeally liked but I would have liked them more had they not "bothered" me in a way, looking like you stamped the image in 2-4 places on the image.
Your artistry and imagination and skill is absolutely not in question, it's truely wonderful, but I would have loved to have seen more pieces with different stock images. Especially with the crows, you used them a ton. You obviously like them! But I feel personally that it takes out a bit of the "epic"-ness of new deviations when you use them so much. Not crows/ravens in general, that's awesome! But the same images over and over, and many the same size. A couple would have been better if you would have been more generous with the resizing tool, in my opinion.
Again, this is just how I feel. It isn't a professional opinion but an observation that I felt strongly about. I hope that's okay. I really love your works dearly. It's not very often that I get excited about clicking through the pages of someone else's gallery. I hope you keep it up!

Thanks for your interesting critique. It is with merit. You have obviously looked thru my recent works and have observed a most intentional pattern with the crows. One I make no apologies for.
Unfortunately what you don't know (and how could you?) that they were part of an assignment in which part of the goal was both creating a visual body of work that one could identify from across a room and in how using the same element can produce diffrent results. As I'm not one of those artist on DA who likes to explain evey minute detail of a piece and would not have even now if not for your thoughtful critique.
So thank you very much for your observations (quite accurate). Much appreciated. just wanted to let you know that there was a method in what might have appeared madness.
Thanks very much for taking the time to comment and please feel free to do so again.

Sorry I've been slow to comment on this one - I am slow with most things lately!
I think it's a really special pic, Rick.
I love the simplicity of it, the strength of the composition, the mystery of the woman and her power. I think you have captured something essential about femininity here - the strength of the moon, of the night. Isis or Nuit? I love the allusion to a night sky that fills the foreground. I find it compelling.

I dont know how I ever kept up on here....but I guess my back problems are a big factor in stopping me now....which isnt so bad, as I have a lot of catching up with others things to do, if that makes sense.
And thanks - all the best your way too!

Well perhaps, but there are skinny ones. There's an opera diva in Sweden - La Vidar - and she is thin as a stick
