I like it.
For me I see it as a conflict between the living and the non. Is the plant overtaking the rock or the rock outlasting the plant. This image is contemplative.

You used too. Don't make me dig through your post history. :biglaugh:

I just don't like "it's boring" kind of a pet peve. I never got that upset, though you wouldn't know it from what I've wrote.

i'm more careful now.

Really?

I love how the lines in the rock up top, echo the lines of the stems, and the leaves echo the splotches on the rock, and there is a resting place lacking detail in the lower left. Your eyes are also lead around by the colors.

Really?

Try as I might, I'm not hearing any echoes...none...nothing...the image does pretty much nothing for me.

It has no clear point of interest. The lighting is flat and uninspiring. Sorry, but absolutely nothing in this scene resonates with me at all.

To me, the complexities of nature are not well conveyed by a rock and parts of a dead tree - at least not like you've done here. Sorry. I've gotten nothing from this picture. But that's me.

lol. no need to be sorry, guys!

I do keep looking at it, hoping to dislike it. But to be honest, if anything it's grown on me.

But, I really do appreciate your input even if bitter, dave and I are alone on this one.

That's the great thing about art.......everyone sees things differently.

Yes and that can easily become the most convenient excuse for bad piece of work.... seriously, 4 years with art students taught me how to bull ****. When a critic session doesn't end in their favor, they just say,"Oh it's up to you to read what it is..."

Anyways, put a price tag on anything and someone will buy it.

To me the photo doesn't bring any interest for me. I tried to see it from an instinctive perspective... nothing. I tried to see it from a structured artistic critic perspective.... nothing. I tried to pick up context from what I see... nothing. I tried to see if I can see something in the texture or pattern in the rock or the twicks... nothing. May be it's about nothing... should have thought about it earlier!
