Artist's Comments

An old sea pool at Bondi Beach. I enjoyed making this. Its supposed to be digital art rather than recorded photography. The darkened skys and storm sea with the remaining blue paintwork contrasting with the decaying paint and concrete of the pool. I hope you like it because you might see more along these lines.

Although I love the photo's perspective and concept and would like to say "cool" it seems to me I must mention that the top is very heavy and the bottom is less than light, it's scant.

Especially in that pinched angle corner bit there, bottom near center close to the left... you know? If you had tilted the camera towards the left a bit more it MIGHT'VE been more balanced. Unless off-balance is what you were going for... (The sky afterwall is way too solid.)

Well I can't agree about the foreground being scant. What does anyone else think? I was going for off balance. To me the background and sky were meant to fade into gloom and the attention of the eye being placed firmly in the pool and on the blue surrounds.... Thats not to say its perfect and I am happy to revisit shot and tweek them if I am prodded enough :D
I appreciate you taking the time to act on the advanced crit request bootsie...onyah! :clap:

Good show then, the off-balance is all there. The blue literally slapped my face.

If critique was kind it wouldn't actually be critique. I attacked it to the best of my hateless ability... scoundrel. :glomp:

Interesting. I like the contrast between the blue concrete and the stormy dark background, and the perspective of the pic. The battered concrete of the pool gave me a depressed feeling though.

I think it's rather striking. I got the impression of a train made of ice travelling into the picture I know.. I killed a lot of brain cells in college in the early 70s
