You have a style that is very much your own Clare, and it is that that makes your work stand out from others here, individuality is a key to being a great artist or indeed anything in life.
My favourite so far.

P.S. i love the hidden people of late:wink:
 
Thank you Inkz and Paul. I appreciate your comments Paul. Funny thing, I showed this to dv8, in fact he helped me give it that extra element, the mist, and he said it was the best he'd seen so far.

Maybe I'm finally learning Photoshop! Well, I am learning to use it to do something I love at the moment, so that is good. And Inkz, you have been an inspiration. Have you ever seen the work by Drejs? He really got me started on this. Here was one of the first of his that I saw. He has different styles, like his "Yes." She accepted, lol.
 
Yup. As Paul mentioned, you do have a style all your own.

The key is not to give up on what you're doing most especially if it's something new to you. Keep up at it. By trial and error, hits and misses , you develop your own style.

Much, much better than what you first showed me. Keep it up.
 
I do have a question dear viewers, lol. I am still having color discrepancies between the monitor I've always use (which I believe is correct) and the new external. May have to get a better monitor that I can really calibrate (this one? not).

So, the clouds should be a dark greyish green with a blue cast. Is that what you are seeing or is is just green?
 
I have to get on the bandwagon and also say that you have a distinct style that is very distinguished and recognizable. I enjoy contemplating the meanings and thoughts behind your imagery. To date this is also my favorite, but I have a feeling it will only last until your next one.

On my monitor, I see dark greyish green clouds but not much blue cast.

Thanks for the link, there are, or were, some exceptionally talented people here!
 
OK, thanks IamSam, and thanks for the compliment. I do try to tell a story with the pictures. Most are short stories, not novellas!

("there are, or were" -- there are, include yourself)

I would still like feedback on the color. Maybe the new monitor is actually better, but I still think it over-saturates greens and yellows. Tricky when so much of one's image is green!
 
Drop dead gorgeous! Love it!
