Very Nice Masque
Looks like a painting.

Here's something I actually really like ... there's a nice feel and style to this piece of work ... well done ... most of the stuff posted here is either trying to hard to be photorealistic or rubbish.

I'll do a deal with you: you help me with my graphic skills and in return I'll help you with your communications skills - how's that?

You have a wonderful technique. There is still something with the cloth that is out of place to the rest of the piece. I think it is the edges, either too stiff or would look better with a frayed edge or some detail like stitching along the edge, blanket stitch or other to complete the old-world charm.

Wonderful image.

BTW, we try hard to ignore the fly in the ointment around here. The rest of us love your work.

Dear Logo, don't be shy to express what you truly feel. Let it all out.... (I'll be watching...)

LOL Now you truly show yourself as an NLP specialist. Now lets see if you can really succeed in it. I have my hopes for you

Pathetic comment from somebody who cannot take any form of criticism.

I believe the Topic is Derek's still life image. May I also request that we try to maintain an atmosphere of cooperation.

Derek, what a superb illustration! ALL of your work has this "other worldly" kind of feel to it. Great job - again!

Masque,

STUNNING work! Beautiful colors too!!! Only observation that I can add (and again keep in mind that this is probably just my bad eyes) is somehow the vegetables all seem to be too crisp around the edges. the contrast is too much between them and the imagery that surrounds them. My eyes just want to soften the edges a tiny fraction perhaps giving them added depth or something. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Again,....as it stands,...it looks fantastic.

Par boiled the veg to soften it a little and unravelled the edges of the cloth for Sally.

Logo Kid,

Don't mince your words now. Just feel free to insult other peoples efforts.

The last thing I do is mince around ... and yeah I do feel free to complement or cuss ... unlike a sicofants (e.g. sychophants, I chose the old school latin because I am a learned man and irony is delicious).

Communist of soul and not of thought. Best Practices.
