Beyond Blue

Gorgeous tones and contrasts! Well done Rhana! :D

excellent!

Gorgeous :)
A great wall-piece.

I knew this was a. original “Rhana” as soon as I saw the thumbnail – didn’t even need to see the name of the artist. How did I know you ask???? well, I think it was that hint of colour….lol

Gorgeous use of colour, Rhana – love those clouds too. It’s not your house is it??

What a great perspective and such vibrant colours, love those little spent poppies, I think they’re illegal in some countries?

Well you get my point still the same ADDS….. Just doesn’t look right in the shadow of the monitor glow…

ohhhhhhh!! Consequences??? Now you’ve got my undivided attention!! :D

Holy hell…that is another world I would love to jump RIGHT into…

Too beautiful for words.

Beyond Blue? Sure is…viewing this made all my blues disappear into the beyond!
What a fab image.

Terrific image Rhana.

Awesome image, it’s got that 3D look about it which is excellent. Well done.

Rhana, babe, you would absolutely make his day. He’s a shy one though, BM me when you’re ready, and I’ll run it past him. He lives with his dad at the moment but I speak with him every day.

Love the way the red grass engulfs the main image – this is really superb Rhana, what an extraordinary colour palette you’ve presented here… this image has so much 3D quality… just stunning for me!

Thanks so much Paul!! I simply had to get hubby to pull over on the side of the road today on the way to our picnic when I saw this little gem out the back of nowhere. And then couldnt WAIT to get home to get to work on it!!!!

So bright it hurts my eyes! Lovely DOF Rhanan. Detail is great too. A very vibrant piece. Well done

stunning colours and comp Rhana, love it.

Wow – the colour is positively jumping out at me – great treatment!

wow, stunning image! gorgeous!

anything I say won’t do this justice,a perfect work.

Wow, you are amazing with your colours.

The colour combiantions of the different levels of the picture are quite stunning!!

superb

Such a riot of colour! Amazing work

Roy… you really are so very kind. Far from perfect, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out.

Carisma… Its funny how sometimes you think certain colours wont work together, then you see it in nature… ramp it up a notch and BANG! There ya go.

Thanks so much bcbuk.

Right back at you Rhana!!!

This is gorgeous…colours are amazing

The colours and composition are great .Very nice work.

When I opened it I knew immediately it had the Rhana touch to it.
This is fantastic. The color is perfect.
What an incredible find and a perfect display. WOW

OK Rhana, I`ve told you this many times but I`ll say it again because people looking at this might not have seen the other stuff (jeeze, what are THEY missing?!)... Again you hit us with a double whammy. You do the perspective thing by getting down low and making this house look like it`s sitting squat in the middle of a __ field (pls fill in the blank cause I don`t know what they are), whereas anyone else would have stood up so as to include the bottom of the house. So already you put us in a place where things are not necessarily as they seem. Then you hit us with the color thing that brings us to a place where everything is just slightly surreal… like a flashback to that bit of mescaline you did back in college during that weekend break in the country (what, didn`t everybody do that?)

Anyway, what I`m trying to say is that you are so good at showing us something ordinary in a different way. Not changeing it with masses of processing, just giving it a different perspective, making us think there is more to it than the usual view. And that`s good cause it makes us think and expands our thoughts and inspires us. You are giving us mental excercise. Do you now realize what a contribution you give to mankind?

Nice shot.

... in other words, you are a modern day impressionist.

OK I`m done now.

Wonderful colours / composition. Packed me bags ready to astral traval.

I hear CHA_CHING….lol….wonderful work Rhana

What a nice looking place …. I like the processing, with the reds ramping up the heat enough for all those windows to be open …... I’m quite jealous actually, all that warmth wafting about the place ….. topped off with a cobalt blue sky …. supa Rhan :))

Stunning image….I love the colours and perspective…..alive bright and wow…...cheers

Simply stunning…...I love the colours…..

this is so amazingly beautiful, and i have to remember your admonition to shoot low … just love your work

Talk about in your face colours… this shot just jumped off the screen at me!

What a beautiful contrast to the end of the world apocolyptic view of the church.

Thoughts immediately spring to, beautiful sunny summer afternoons, home made lemonade and the biggest concern of the day was whether the horses had been fed or not. A portrayal of real laid back blissfulness and endless summer days that never seem to end.

The red foreground (my turn to be ignorant and unknowledgeable now!) cuts swathe and is a marvellous introduction to the shot, before the central masterpiece, that gorgeous blue, house nestled between the trees, windows open inviting the world in. The textures on the wood work come out well, but my favourite subtlest part is the shadows cast by the open windows at the front. Both windows are open the same, but the light casts a different story and makes one shadow bigger than the other.

Finally, the darker blue of the sky tops it all off like a cherry on a cream cake.

The response to this image has been overwhelming. Heartfelt thanks to you all for your wonderful amazing comments. I apologise if my addiction to bright colours has offended anyones eyesight ;)
