downloaded this image to enlarge the area within the frame. I think the
house is too obscure in there to be recognizable - It makes one wonder
what the image is about without the explanation. The house should be
enlarged to be obvious. The backlit feather and the couple work well .
A slight drop shadow in front of the frame would help to anchor it.
Nice graphic image. |
| Ruth Rittichier | The
whole construct of this image is well
thought out, and very effective. I like the light-colored, glowing
bodies that keep attention on them as the subjects. The darker glow
in the background suggests a new dawn for them. The swirled 'old
home' gives the impression that their memory of their past home is
becoming a distorted memory as they think and plan about the new home.
Excellent work. |

title & interpretation. The
colours & shapes in the feather are echoed in the image of the
house. The elements used in the composition are unique and used very
effectively. I wonder what is on the flip side of the house image! I
like the way the ornament is used as a possible ornament in the house
– a house within a house. The peacock feather adds another
layer
to the idea of decoration – how will the new people decorate
Phillipa's ex- house? So we have her personal questioning, from the
outside looking in. |
| Hillary Morin | Another
very creative composite that tells a story and
gives the viewer much to ponder. I would make the photo of the house a
little larger perhaps filling 3/4 of the circle for more impact as I
wasn't quite sure what
it was before
reading your description. |
| Peter Rowley | For me the best image of the month. As a
surrealistic work I like it a lot. I might add to Phillipa's remarks
that the wooden globe and holder might suggest the world is the oyster
of the couple, and the nest might be feathered around the globe,
wherever they alight. |

Biography
Before
I retired as an Early Education Teacher I completed a 2 year course in
Visual Arts....which seems to have helped me in my work now. Computers are my husband's life interest and now he is also interested in photography. In 1998 I joined the local camera club and in 1999 I started entering competitions within Australia and Internationally.I also joined the IDIG group based in the UK. We exchanged photos and critiques over the internet on a daily basis. I did this for 2 years and this interaction really helped me to be objective about my images. Lately
I seem to be doing a lot of photography admin. work so am looking
forward to exchanging photos and comments here.
