Ruth Carll's picture

Sea Life

In the vein of experimentation, I've been playing with my ink "trees" and "mushrooms" to make more complex scenes. Maybe they are interesting? Maybe just too weird?

(This is ink in water)

Feedback welcome!

I love the way you are pushing the boundaries here Ruth. I love the way you have used light to create more depth to the image.I think your technique certainly has potential.

I really like this shot but do feel it is a little unbalanced, perhaps feeling a little discord with the eye being pulled through to the left of the frame by light/contrast.

Have you tried rotating? I have tried playing around and think a horizontal format may offer you more opportunities. For me this gives a sense of floating on water and feels more harmonious to my eye.

Just one opinion, feel free to disagree.

I do like the directional aspect here. I have a few that I like best sideways. I'll post one. Just for giggles here, the interesting thing is that the orientation that looks most "wrong" is it's actual orientation.....

Yeah, I prefer that one also. I believe it's because my eyes want to travel from let to right and in the original I bump straight into the strongest part of the image.
Now if I were Arabic and read the other way...…..

I love the color tones in all.

I like it
