The Humanitarian

Great WORK, Mel !!!! “as always”..

Congratulations from now on :)

I don’t know what you’re doing Mel, but something in The Surveyor & this one are different ....... you’ve gone and found some extra magic….. as if you needed more!!!

What an awesome capture Mel! Wonderful comp and textures! =)

awesome building! very spooky and cool!

i tried.. i really did. and mel (you and p and…), you do it so well, paul and others. these after effects on top of the photos.. they are just stunning. i am not a “realist” i am more like “clueless”, guppy swimming in a pool of, “i have no clue” or “how did they do that”, or”is it my crappy software (computer , camera, etc.)”.. you and p get it on the spot every time and i just look at them in awe.. as i have not a clue..—-c (for the clueless chappel)

have you ever heard bonnie swans, or any of lorrena mckinnits works? eyes closed you can feel the fog… lowering.. and hear the oceans in the mist of a love lost, and pains found…

Love it Mel, your work has so many facets to it …
I remember the song, though I had not heard it for years. I’m old enough to remember the pirate radio stations and the Governments desperate attempts to close them down, only because nobody was listening to the BBC any more and the establishment was outraged at the type of music being played. The BBC of course (eventually) fought back with the birth of Radio 1 and were forced to embrace the music. It was an exciting time for me and my generation.

Nice tribute Mel.

Great work Mel

have a glass of wine sit outdoors or in bed and just listen.. (you might hate it!) and have a moment to yourself.

Excellent work Mel, love the concept and the treatment.

tinny little radio under the bedsheets and the sound swooping in and out as the signal waxed and waned LOL

as for the pic Mel And Paul, there aren’t any words for this, none !

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

well done Mel, love the processing on this. Both you and Paul keep inspiring us bubbler’s with you magnificent compositions.

A great capture – wonderful and post-processing – great model, of course

wonderful comp and treatment Mel, well done!

Wow – great atmospher Mel! that’s certainly a place where only rats can run!

A wonderful tribute to a man who is so kind and generous and supportive to many artists in Red Bubble.

Great picture – powerful narrative and beautiful execution!

PERFECT!!

Wow..this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Another classic Brackstone, that was a great listen and an interesting read too Mel, thanks

Great image Mel

A great composition, love it!

Mel this has got to be one of my all time faves of yours…......love this image…..and a great tribute to an awesome artist and very giving person…..just astounding work….amazing piece!!!

That song has always been one of my alltime favourites now it will be forever linked in my minds eye to this beautiful haunting image! :)))

Yep I’m with Tracey, my all time fav..Pure brilliance Mel…

Mel … you have the heart, mind and soul and skill of an artist.

excellent work

woah Mel, this blows me away. Not just a picture – more an intriguing, deep story…fantastic!

I love all of your montages Mel and this is no exception! Wonderful old house with lots of character to use as your background and I love the position you used for your model (Paul). The open arms, palms up demonstrate the openess and willingness to embrace fellow man, that I think you wanted to impart. Not being familiar with this song, I had a listen and think you transmitted the concept visually exceedingly well.

Fab concept, emotion and execution, Mel. Love the model (Paul). What a fab house and treatment, too. Brilliant work. Well done. Cheers Elana.

This is a great piece. Lots of luv & hard work involved

outstanding

SUPERB!!!! :))

Love the processing and composition.

this is an incredibly moving image -so may layers & full of heart. I think the song, and the image, will be whirling around in my head for some time. perfection…

A work of magic Mel…loving this evolving series;)

Good one,Mel

Lovely piece of work Mel.

Brilliant. Really like it, reminds me of the TV series Supernatural.

Your work is a constant source of inspiration Mel. Thankyou.

Exceptional Ekphrasis of that song Mel
Bravo! ☼

A great piece, and a suitable tribute to a great song.

Amazing work! Love the mood in it.

Such an impressive shot and rendering….love the birdies too. Haven’t I seen this photo at the latest BCG gallery presentation this week?

He needs a bottle of beer in his hand…

Strong perspective and composition…strong image period! well done

inspirational!

very very COOL SHOT and Treatment!!!! just LOVE it!!!

Intense, moody and powerful character study Mel – this image makes you look and re-look at it. I love shots that tell a story and this one feels loaded with them. Congrats on a masterful work.

it’s most beautiful Mel, he reminds me of Vincent Van Gogh, who had a similar heart for the poverty stricken…very touching

Wow, what a mood you’ve captured here.
The Days of Pearly Spencer… Jeeze, that is a true blast from the past. I remember watching that video in black & white on our first TV in Brussels with rabbit ears for an antenna!!
Wonder what ever happened to David McWilliams?
Amazing take Mel… so cool to see your work with Paul turning out such awesome results!!
xo

Exceptional Image by exceptional artists.

What a fab team you two make, certainly a blast from the past, great image :-))

Amazing work. Love the textures

This is one of those powerful images which compel the viewer to look closer, it is intriguing with great depth, packed with emotion and deeply subliminal. It is a wonderful write up as well. Mahalo Mel!

gothic and moving image

Love the film poster style Mel ! The textures and colour palette are spot on, I could imagine this with a film title and graphics, wow!

Wow! Its all about human condition, very well done!!

GREAT ART WORK !!!!

I pride myself on my ability to usually express myself adequately with written words .. but I’m at a loss here and … just don’t want to add an innocuous ‘wow’ ... but … whether it’s the lack of coffee or my frequently addled brains or the impact of the power of this image … WOW!!! I listened to “Pearly” while viewing this and … though I sometimes add a musical link to my own work … I don’t think I’ve ever seen music and image so beautifully tied together!!!

beautiful! got story behind the artwork..

Awesome work, love the texture you used.

MAN..I love that house!
