Dignified By Steve Bulford
Julie said about this image
I was really lucky as I had two favorites that I really couldn’t choose between. as one [Monkey Day Spa] was chosen by someone else for Pay It Forward, I could choose Dignified, above. This image for me just shows the Mountian Gorilla for what it really is. A beautiful and intelligent being, capable of emotion, love, care and understanding. The photograph is stunningly beautiful and technically perfect in every way. I adore this piece of art, in my eyes, it is a true masterpiece.

Our Lady Of The Abortion – By ImageShifter
Yvonne said about this image
Its a passionate piece, It is just very emotional to me. I really cannot articulate it with words. Very few art pieces do that to me but this is one of them. Tech wise its perfectly layered, and the lighting definitely sets the mood. The young girl holding the unborn child. It moves me. For lack of a better word. If you cannot use this due to my lack of a better explanation I understand. Wish I could put into word what this image does to my heart.

Beach Dancer By Peter Beck
Paul said about this image
There is so much life in the picture, both in the subject and use of colours.. you are carried away by the sense of movement and it’s as if the colours are dancing along with the guy to the music! Brilliant framing and fantastic work in Post Processing, a very powerful and timeless image that was easily a favourite for me!

The Swans Lament By lumineux
Dave said about this image
Marion created a loving tribute to little Axel here with a loving blend of thoughtfulness and heartfelt emotion. This piece really pulls at the heart strings in a very positive way. I find great comfort in this work because every time I view it I can picture little Axel being comforted in the arms of an angel.

Birth By Coffeebean
Robin said about this image
The reason I love this shot first is the emotion it evokes in me. I love its simplicity, its beauty, the colors and softness of focus. It makes me realize anew the wonder of nature. Every spring when I look at my garden starting to grow I am reminded of how wonderful nature is. How can this be? How can something so delicate break through the hard ground and grow to something so beautiful? This photograph moved me to spring and its wonder. I sat there staring at it for the longest time and my heart was happy..

Quiet Please By ichard Utin

I like it because it sums up the art of being a photographer – Great observation to find the little creature in the first place and the technical skills to capture it without disturbing it.

Friends By Ellen
Emma said about this image
I love this photograph for it’s simplicity and for it’s beauty, it shows a side to rats that most people don’t see and assume is not there, they are wonderful creatures and this photograph pretty much sums that up for me. Artistically it is clever, witty and bright. It makes me happy. That is why I love it! :).

Guitar Head By brokedownmelodies
Faizan said about this image
I love it because of its minimal detail yet it tells you so much. Love the sketchy look of the guitar against the silhouette of the man. The background colour adds a real touch to it as well. I can’t believe that it doesn’t have any comments.

Santa Claus Is Coming To – By Ivy Izzard
Ronnileigh said about this image
The first time I seen “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” I fell in love with it. I, can feel the emotion of the children, it tugged at my heart. The terrior and tears just melted my heart. It looked to me the baby had cried it’self to sleep from exhaustion. Then you have Santa looking mean and about to find them. This piece is so life like.

Yes Lord By tmlstrsc

The reason why I chose that image as my favorite is because it displays such child-like faith. We could learn from such simple faith… Also, it is so angelic and innocent.

The Resting Frog By Christopher Cooper
Michelle said about this image
The reasons that the frog is my favourite:
Vivid real life colours
Very detailed image.
I love the frogs mannerism, he is just chillin out on a leaf, he looks so content.
The painting is not a photo, however the image looks so real and beautiful.

First Taste Of Rain By Nancy Coyle

Hand in Hand By Andy Smylie
Zandria said about this image
This simple image of an elderly couple holding hands says sooo much.
You can see how much they love each other. How they are best friends. How they are truly content in life. How they have worked hard. How they value family.
It evokes an endless story of life and love. One that I hope to achieve with my best friend, my husband.
Simply perfect.

Let The Sun Shine In By Darrell Moseley
Russ said about this image
This photo took me back in time, about 30-35 years, when I was living with my parents and siblings. We had a farm with a barn very similar to this one. In late afternoon, the sun would shine through the boards just like in Darrell’s photo. Instant time warp to a wonderful age of hard work, fun, and a lifetime of memories.

Still Life In A Vase By Cadence
Melanie said about this image
When I first joined RB I saw this image and bought a canvas of it – it hangs on my dining room wall.
I was very inspired by the colours, composition and textures. I know the artist is proud of this image – as she should be. It embodies everything I aspire to as a beginner/hobby digital artist.

More cotton Wool By Andrew Bosman

Foggy images are one of my all time faves, and this is one of the best that I have ever seen! The fog / low cloud is just incredible! The lighting on the cliff faces of the blue mountains is just beautiful & the Anticrepuscular Rays in the sky just finish it off beautifully!

Beautiful British Columbia By Bluetiger
Shane said about this image
The clarity and colors of this is astounding, the HDR look as well, so sharp and heaps of reflections, your eye just wanders around this, so much to look at, to me its the best landscape I have seen for a very long time, it has water, clouds, trees, folage, forest, ble skies, and heaps more.

When Will You Be Back By Laurence Garçon
Peter said about this image
For me it captures an aspiration – a desire to be in a environment of style and panache – and it’s framed in a dream lacking colour and solidity – highlighting the remoteness of the aspiration (Melbourne’s great but it’s no Paris)

Lever De Soleil By Robert Birze
Stuart said about this image
As a lover of seascapes, i’m instantly drawn to the gorgeous composition, that lovely colourful sky and the sun that is reflected so gorgeously on the rocks.
What sets it apart from all the others for me is the human element. The lady looking out of shot adds so much mystery and depth and the loose red shawl just adds to the colourings and adds to the floaty lazy feel of the shot.
An image I never tire of looking at so thanks for giving me a nudge to see it again

Portrait Of A Woman By modernlifeform

This painting effects me every time I see it. The rich, red colour contrasting with the pale skin – it is sublime. I follow every curve with my eyes, from the thin wisp of hair to the knuckled hand. I find myself transfixed with the beauty.

Angel Of Baghdad By shayne2011
Marion said about this image
Of all the awe-inspiring art to chose from on this site, this image was the one that instantly sprang to mind when I first read Julies journal entry. As much as I identify with the artists inspiration behind this piece, I also believe that his powerful imagery of intense anguish and torment stands up so well on its own, without title or explaination. For me, that makes it a truly exceptional artwork.

Snake Hunter By bobbymcleod
Debs said about this image
This is my all time favorite piece on redbubble. This was a very difficult choice to make!!! I have such a passion and love for nature but most of all……the birds of prey. So I gravitated in that direction. The piece I chose is of a bird of prey. It’s titled “Snake Hunter” by bobbymcleod. I love this brilliant shot and have chosen this to be my favorite. One reason being, that you don’t see many shots of these eagles. And secondly, these eagles like so many birds of prey……. have such power/determination in their eyes and they are just so incredibly beautiful!! Bobby has captured all of those elements in his brilliant photo of this stunning Bateleur Eagle.

Carousel By Deborah Parkin
Colin said about this image
It looks like many people here had a difficult time selecting just one all time favorite image. I am glad to say that for me it was incredibly simple. Carousel, by Deborah Parkin was actually the first thing I favorited when I joined this site. Carousel is an extremely poignant image for me. As a child I had several irrational fears and this image reminds me of the way I viewed the world back then: with an extreme sense of wonder and curiosity, clouded by caution and anxiety. Carousel speaks to me in a way that no other photo on Redbubble does.

They Come And Go By Paul Tupman
Judith said about this image
would like to submit my selection of the photo that made the biggest impact on me, and that is “They Come and Go” by Paul Tupman.. Having been to Stonehenge and experiencing the mysticism of its existence, seeing the enormity of the stones, and marveling at the monumental spirit and drive it took for whoever it was that constructed this wonder, I couldn’t imagine being able to convey the essence of Stonehenge with a photograph, but Paul Tupman proved me wrong. To me, his photo is truly a masterpiece!

Lotus By Jarko
Aloramyst said about this image
This is an amazing piece of artwork that stirs my soul. The textures, the depth of colors, and the raw beauty of being a woman. I relate to it in many ways. The model is a brunette who shows strength of character, and empowerment. It makes a bold strong statement, yet is subdued with the soft colors. Can’t say enough about it. I love it!
