The image fits perfectly to your title.

When I read the title, I was thinking, i wonder what this is about, also thought Daq is posting again! :-)

I wasn't dissapointed as I was looking at some kind of devotional horror.

for the photo, i think it might be a little busy, but love the reflection , colours and feel of it overall.

Yeah, it is a bit busy. The figurine is my first attempt at sculpting in polymer clay.

very nice sculpture man. I like it. I didn't do sculpture since highschool! and used clay back then, we'd put it in the oven 'kiln' i think it was called and then we'd pray it didn't explode in there. ha. If we didn't kneed the clay properly, some air bubbles would be trapped in there that would cause your sculpture to explode when fired.

Yep - the feel of it is really good - I especially like how you have placed your sculpture against the pink flower so that it stands out.

Cheers

You do have a way with this type of image daq, good to see you posting again. This is rather thought provoking and warrants a bit of time viewing.

Wonderful textures and colors all around

Just wish it was sharper

Glad to see you !!

Yes, seems a little soft. But worse is that you seem to have competing subjects ... the sculpture and the stuff on the right. My eyes had to wander around the image to figure out what I was supposed to be looking at.

Daq -

Hmm. There's a LOT happening here, mostly good stuff. Love the warm colors against the black. I am unsure what the subject is, but I keep looking at the middle-left object that looks like it has a face inside it. The reflective bottom is a BIG plus. The matting gives the image elegance. Those yellow things in the background look like candles, but not quite; they're a mystery. Actually there's a lot of mystery here. Nice work.

I thought tthat the image lacks abit of sharpness giving me the impression that the subjects are in an underwater tank

For me this is far to busy as my eye cannot seem to focus on one thing. I think its because the clay model needs to be sharper to make it stand out more from the flowers and given a little more room.

However I do like the colours and the theme of the photo, its just needs a bit of corrective work to make it stand out.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree completely it is too busy and distracting to deliver a clear subject. I don't see the softness people are universally observing. Weak eyes I guess. But in reality when focusing in the dark with flash getting the focus just right is hard, particularly with a macro lens. I will pay more attention to it....
