Man...you are doing some interesting stuff Rob. Keep it going.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Glenn. That was last thing last night. This morning, it looks like "almost' there. It has given me some ideas, though. Somehow it reminds me of old fairy tales...not sure why. Certainly looks Grimm...

 

[Pete Askew]

This is interesting Rob. I like the way the petals appear to melt into or fuse with the table (either that or your house is even dustier than mine!). Definitely worth continuing with.

Sleeping Beauty?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. I think it is the colour, the blue-blackness, that brings to my mind murky childhood imaginings of dark forests, forbidden paths, etc. And the barely-made-out forms, with their feelings of fear and wonder, only add to the sense of foreboding. Either that or I need another coffee...

 

[Pete Askew]

It does have a sort of moonlit look that helps the illusion I think - energy saving bulbs eh!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha! Yup. The Age of Enlightenment has drawn to a close - a return to the Dark Ages...

 

[Pete Askew]

The digital dark ages. Not only can we not see what we are bloody doing but in a few hundred years there'll be no record either!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

There's a Thought For The Day.

 

[Beth Carter]

they look like they're falling. it does look more like an illustration in a children's fairy tale book than a photograph.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Beth. I'd love to do illustration.

 

[Pete Askew]

I could imagine that 'Mrs Flopsy goes to Town' could take on a darker tone!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

There's another thought for the day!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Whoa!!! Fascinating Rob.
This is very nice, I really like this. Does it take you long to process?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Dan. No. A few minutes. I knew what I wanted before taking it.
