Re-installation

I remember the first version - a bit disturbing. This one is dreamlike. This may sound a bit hoity-toity, but it reminds me of carvings in the rock that we saw in China some years ago.

Thanks, Bob. I have a CHinese connection here, too. It reminds me of a mural in the Royal Ontario Museum portraying Buddhist gods.

I like both. A B&W regiment of women. This one seems softer with a touch of the surreal. Perhaps it's the tree reflections.

Thanks, Jean. The heavy shadows in the first version seem to have obscured the reflections (these are two crops of the same photo).

Exceptional capture and PIP! Stay well!

Thanks, William. You, too.

Amazing work John.
Congrats on Explore.

Thanks, Jaap.

That’s a great work, John !

Thank you very much, Ulrich.

This works really well, John. Best wishes for the weekend.

Thanks, George, and the same to you.

I really like this one..............especially this version. It's a touch bizarre and even a bit sinister - sort of like a spare parts for humans factory!

Great work John.

Thanks, Keith. I hadn't thought of spare parts, even though The Mechanical Bride, which is about people being treated as machines with replaceable parts. Thanks again for pinting that out.

Surreal and beautiful. Love the soft colours and the window reflections add to the effect. I also like the original which is darker and more dramatic. Both terrific images John. Have a great weekend

Thank you very much, Carol, and a good weekend to you.

Eine schöne Arbeit. Ich ziehe die Farbversion vor.
Ich wünsche Dir eine ruhige neue Woche. Bleib gesund, John!

Thaniks, Reiner, and a good week to you.

what i like about this one in contrast to the b&w version is the reflection of the building and tree branches in the window.

your 're-working' of this photo in both versions shows my mother's addage to be true - 'you can't crop a photo and make it good if it wasn't good in the first place, but you can crop a good photo anyway you want and it will still be good'. you've upgraded that to 'completely modify' instead of just crop!

seen and loved in my group 'm m multiples s s' - thanks for adding it!

Thanks, raingirl. I just noted there's a sort of grid in the reflections. I love grids, for some reason.

Superbe **********

Thanks, Boro.

Color one works better for me.

For me, Marko, the difference seems to be in the relative attraction of the large and small heads. I suppose we all respond differently to things like that. I have a slight preference for the other, but only a slight one.

I like both versions.

Thanks, Léopold.

Extraordinary and surreal!
