    Re: Street Fighters

    Hi Yoyo
    I'm happier viewing this as a troupe of trees that have taken on a life form and are intent on putting on a ballet for us rather than street fighters. They are far too nice.
    If I look at it as just a group of trees I feel that it might look better in colour with that nice bark and foliage/blossom. As trees I would like to see more of them,(below waiste lol) and not cut off so suddenly.
    Always something interesting from you Yoyo.

    Strange picture. It seems surreal somehow, like it was taken on anothe planet. Not sure I like the tight crop - seems confined. But that might be important to the overall effect. The b&w is good, imo.

    Yoyo, very creative. I agree with Tom in that these look more to me like dancers, perhaps modern or ballet and i think having a bit of color would strengthen that appearance and feel even moreso. I feel the crop is a bit too tight at the top, but it does still look quite effective. With the critiques , this is still a fine, artsy image. good work

    Hi Tom, I agree with your suggestions about the composition. I chose B&W because the background is a green wall, which is not very appealing. By the way, ithe subject is a bonsai and the size of the pot is about 2 f by 1 f.

    Hi GB, Thanks for your insight. I did not think it was related to outerspace. Very good interpretation!

    Hi Gary, Thanks for the kind comments as always. I agree that a less tighter crop would have a more comforting appeal.
