Leaves Part III

[Maggie Terlecki]

A darker feel for these leaves. A bit of Yin to balance out the Yang.

Lovely...I need you to package some of those leaves and send them to me...I have pine needles for trees and scrawny scrub oak...nothing this lovely at all.

Thank you Chris, Oh, I have plenty of pine needles here too.. surrounded, in fact. But if you are serious, message me your address and I'd be happy to mail you a few this week!

Hey Maggie, this is a powerful and very arresting image...it's quintessential too.
I have never seen leaves portrayed like this so for me your image has a lot of thought and originality, and that is something I prize very much...

That is a very strong compliment, Paul. Thank you very much!

Even though I am going to mention opening up the shadows along the left side a tad, I still strongly feel that it is quintessential.
That dark area on the left edge is unbalancing the image. When I look there I want to see more of the leaf structure in slightly under equal measure to the right side. Just my two mongo's, is all...

Again a good work Maggie.

Finely crossed swords are immediately captivating, Maggie. I wish I had thought of that!

A small question? Need we watch we don't move to "kitsch". When, i wonder, is that line crossed?

I had thought of cropping it and was worried about losing the line that moves the eye to the crossing point but had not thought of opening up the shadow.

So I did, but couldn't really get the bottom part as nice as I wanted, so opened it and cropped a bit too. I do think it looks better. I have exchanged the one that I posted. Hope you like it more; I do!

Because of the title, or the image? Anyways, people don't take me very seriously so who cares if they think it is kitsch. I like it and I guess that is all that really should matter.

Exactly! You're a bold artist, Maggie. This certainly is cutting edge and an eye ctcher!

Thank you, Klaus. I really wanted that underlying structure of the leaf to really show here as I find it fascinating!
