Daily Deviation

Given 2004-06-30

Theperfect symmetry and seperation of colors in Garden Pool by ~jamesjr2 made this deviation stand out immediately when browsing through deviations. The slight slope of the stairs and vivid flowers draw you to the water only to wonder how to get to the door on the other side. wonderful. ( Suggested by takitus and Featured by randomcasualty )

Hello James, I saw your icon and thought, Isn't that the place in the image that won last year's Everyman award? A quick journey through your gallery revealed that this indeed is that lovely shot. Beautiful symmetry and it looks great framed in black. Well done!

A beautiful shot, but I have one beef with it... I think the title text is too big! Make it a little more subtle, subdued. Don't steal the viewer's eye from the image!

thank you!

Jennifurret Featured By Owner Jul 23, 2004

That's really stunning. I love how the steps draw your eye to the door and the water, and how the orange flowers behind it frame the door. The reflection in the pond is nice too, because it seems to continue the path to the door. Really beautiful, nice work ^_^

jamesjr2 Featured By Owner Jul 23, 2004

Thank you!

Wow. Now this picture is a truly magnificent piece of art. I love the way you've captured it. The proportioning is great with the flowers at the top and the steps taking up the main part of the image. Also how you've captured the reflection so that it shows the detail in the door.
This is a beautiful shot +fav
