Amazing.

I love every aspect of this, though the rope seems a little artificial.

It's great how every image in this photo is an intentional symbol, beautiful.

Ben Goossens Thanks Niko:-)
I know everything is not perfect, but I try to bring a surreal concept as realistic as possible.

Goed man! Zeer zeer fraai beeld neergezet. Hulde. Vermeer zag ik ook gisteren op Canvas en mijn hoofd begon direct weer op hol te slaan. Wat een mooie schildertijd was het toen...

Ben Goossens Dat zal wel dat Vermeer je raakte... jouw foto's hebben hetzelfde licht, alleen breng jij er nog creativiteit bij dat maakt het zo sterk:-))

It seems that your more simple, more "photo like" surreal compositions are working better on OE. In anyway your work deserves it. All the best

it seems so... many others are to complex to understand I suppose.

Merry Christmas!!!

Luc Van Sever 2 years ago

Deze was wel opvallend in screening, en de reacties hier liegen er ook niet om, deze is gans anders dan de andere beelden; heel leuk

Ben Goossens Thanks Luc:-)

Na een jaar weet ik eindelijk wat ze hier willen:
montages moeten fotorealsitisch zijn, zelfs in de verhoudingen van de elementen.

Nu is in surrealisme dit niet altijd en soms kan men dit niet begrijpen, het teveel fantasie. Het is de gulden middenweg zoeken, zeker voor OE, maar ga daarom mijn stijl niet veranderen, dat zou superdom zijn.

Het is inderdaad anders, daarom impactvol... maar succes: alles of niets (dikwijls niets)

Gezellig Kertsfeest:-))
