just about the time i start to wonder if the art thing is a mistake, and especially if i am just wasting my time not only keeping up my design gallery, but devoting time to keeping active at DeviantArt, i get the best possible reminder that it is not, and i'm not, by having some one leave a really kick ass comment like this one, left by kernos on one of my pieces in my gallery at deiantart:
i stopped by your page to thank you for adding one of my pieces of work to your favorites. however, this caught my eye and i had to comment on it.
this photo works on a lot of different levels. first, the very deep, sharp black of the trees contrasts nicely with the surroundings. the field, the sky. the tree is highlighted very well. on another level this piece is really touching because it depicits a dying tree. a part of nature, much older than the men that are tearing it down. i imagine a forest destroyed just to put up more phone lines or whatever's on the background. or anything else for that matter. kind of sad.
i like the title 'odd geometry' as well. nothing really fits together. the tree stands out against the landscape, and the bit of human development in the background just negates everything. half of the geometry is nature, the other half destruction mixed with death. it's just an odd, but unfortunately no to unfamiliar scene to see when looking out the car window.
but this really caught my eye because it reminded me so much of a place that i used to go. old, dead trees destroyed for housing or utilities. sad really.
nice work.
Thank you kernos for reminding me what a great feeling it is to know that one of my works has truly touched some one in the way i intended it to.
