I love the "Glow" on the top.

Really reminds me of a fancy light.

The background Almost looks painted on.

I love the symbolism in this, the use of green and white and how the flowers look like lanterns or candle. And for some reason the trea reminds me of a sailing ship too. Bound for new horizons perhaps...

This is beautiful, very peaceful with the green colour and the pattern is really nice. The fact it's glowing makes it even more attractive, very very good

Wow. The depth of the concept is beautiful in itself. <3 This keeps making me think fractals. It's so pretty. The patternss, the flowers and leaves, and the way they shine in the image make me smile~ I love how the reflection gives the impression that it's sitting over water.

Sorry x.x; I have issues giving constructive criticism-type-stuff on unfamiliar methods and styles.

This is a wonderful piece, and very striking. All the elements mesh together beautifully to create a choesive whole, and I can't keep my eyes off it. The pattern is well drawn and the glow really adds to it. Now, I'm not quite sure how you intended for it to be interpreted, but here is my go. At the bottom is the barren stylised tree with no leaves, but then it hits this barrier, and the tree starts to blossom. Now, that is probably wrong, but it's just a really beautiful piece. Even the background goes well. The ring doesnt look quite right though. There is a little 'banding' as it sweeps around, and isnt as symmetrical as the rest of the piece. But really thats a tiny flaw in comparison to the whole piece.

thanks for the input, usually i don't think too much on the logic side of things, i just go with the flow and the feeling it generates. i personally like to make simple, subtle pieces that whisper to its audience.

I'm sure Shakespeare would have said a similar thing, but there we go analysing every single word that he ever wrote. I know what you mean though.

Viking-Heart [2006-03-19 18:47:21 +0000 UTC]

This is very pretty. The soft shining makes it very attractive whithout losing detail on the little flowers. And the texture and colors in the background givest that relaxing, peaceful feeling. Though I don't know what's the golden ring up to... something nearly "celestial", maybe?

jlx8i In reply to Viking-Heart [2006-03-19 20:04:12 +0000 UTC]

originally it had no ring on it, but without the ring i found the piece a bit too flat... so i place the ring there to give it more depth so that it'd look more like it's floating
