RE: "Of Legends and High Towers: Heroes", a brief introduction.
Glad you replied! About it not being "everybody's thing," I made the same lament to a friend of mine, a famous artist, about my own work. She said, "Reactions are capricious! What do we know?" I like how she included herself in the statement. Just follow your instinct and you can't go wrong.
Thanks for the encouraging words! Of course, your friend is right. I do feel I struggle most with feedback which categorises an image either as beautiful or not and much less considers whether the work has valid artistic value at all. Just because I have still not found any response to such critique I guess. Thanks again for the wise words. Oh... and about me replying... I do realise there tends to be some considerable delay. Sorry for that.
As for reply delay - no problem. I live in the real world too, and am not always at my PC!
Your reply gave me an idea about how to respond to replies such as "beautiful." I could write back explaining why I think it is beautiful, for example, the placement of the focus of interest, or how the light only provides a part of the scene, leaving the observer to supply the rest with his imagination. Then my responder will get a better understanding of why it really is "beautiful." Better yet, I could explain a few of these things in the initial post, so the responder will be better informed in the first place.
I think you might just have given me an idea for a future post right there!!!!
