The Quiet Earth - Ascension

Nice, as usual. I like the soft highlights. They give the image a renascence feel.

Another wonderful collaboration between you and Jo. This is beautiful and soft.

Congratulations Paul and Jo on developing such a cool series of images, the whole set really takes you on an interesting and questioning ride. Once again well done to both of you, and I look forward to your next collaboration.

Love the tones and treatment, gives it the feeling of a painting. Great work, both of you.

I like this a lot, Paul.
The composition really appeals, the model’s expression is angelic, and colour/treatment works very well with the old-time feel of the piece.

Absolutely lovely – this is a classic x

also, meant to addn that it feels as thought she is under water.

this is absolutely yours – your ideas and realisations are surprising me ;-)))

The texture in this is absolutely wonderful, Paul, I love the way you’ve shown such a disorientating angle too, its disturbingly hypnotic! Bravo!!

Your processing is impressive as always. It has timeless appeal. Well done you two

Classic! has a timeless and underwater feel about it!

Very beautiful shot! Congrats Paul!

Stunning work Paul,composition,texture and colour is perfect.well done.

Excellent work Paul, very impressive.

This is really nice Paul . It a bit like an underwater shot somehow. Nice one.

This is amazing! I love everything about it. The lighting is incredible and the effect is so awesome, an underwater feeling on dry ground. So well done!

Top of the line work! Bravo!

Lovely shot here Paul.

Nice work I really like it.

The change of orientation really helps this shot!

Man…you do stunning work the both of you !!! Bravo !!!!

Lovely work..

Lovely…..............Just so peaceful.

kev

The composition is great, the textureing beautiful. great series.

the lines are sensational in your shot, Paul.
I love that you placed the grass on the right side….so many fascinating elements in the image….beautiful work!

just beautiful – i love the colours in this – such serenity.

Beautiful work from both of you. Fantastic setting, great picture and gorgeous facial expression.

Love the palette employed here Paul, and isn’t Jo an exquisite model….a great collaborative piece from both of you.

Oh, Paul, this is so beautiful. I love the textures you created in her skin, also how the left side of the piece is reminiscent of the weathered cracks found in an old oil painting, in contrast to the way you have left the grass to look ‘real’. The figure looks porcelain like a sculpture. She really does look as though she is leaving this time and place. Great title! Just beautiful.

outstanding-brilliant-////////////////

had to look twice before i realised she wasn’t underwater – what a beautiful illusion paul – well done as usual!

The tones and treatment you have used gives it the feeling of an old Masters painting.

The underwater feel is has is just magical.

Terrific work congratulations to you both.

Cheers

Excellent work!

I think this is absolutely stunning. Reminds me of defying gravity! excellent, congrats!

looks like she was “born” out of the surrounding matter, hypnotic image.

As ever Paul, “NICE”

Will somebody please buy Jo a T-shirt!!!!!!

poor girl will catch her death

very cool collage/compo…

Redbubble’s very own Rembrandt!! this is a fantastic style you have created.. a great mix of old new and it really suits the series. You have taken Jo’s wonderful pose and turned her into a Goddess. The touch of photorealism in the grass is a great contrast with the painterly renaissance feel. Ascension is a fitting end to the series. how about 1 more?

beautiful image…... I like the soft watery finish to the picture like she’s swimming up from the depths of some giant well…..... great stuff…. I wish I had time to take some shots myself at the moment but your pics are keeping me inspired…. all the best paul.

Enough to catch your attention and give your mind an introduction to find the story.. You now can relax and enjoy a bowl of ice cream with your favorite topping.. Bravo

orientation is fantastic…makes it feel like she’s swimming upwards, very convincingly! Wonderful creation!

WOW – thanks for the awesome comments and following the ride that is The Quiet Earth… Jo is thinking of writing some short stories to go along with the series – and hopefully we’ll do a one off book or something… maybe have it avaliable as a PDF download or an actual digital print of the book… thanks for the great comments – have heaps more shots, so definitely want to put them together one day. And as for Lindsay – once you ascend you never come back down… (and Andrew, I have seen Jo with a T-Shirt on…. once!)

this is awesome Paul… great treatment… and a killer composition. love the skin tones and texture. A great series… i say keep ‘em coming!

Awesome angle. This is incredibly done. You two are making a dynamite team.
Very well done!

great team work

Beautiful!

Great work!

Awesome as always…. nice combo you two make.

Hi Paul, Just wonderful as always! M:>

Impresiv work ….real art

Great perspective. I love it.

Mesmerizingly beautiful!

Awesome!!! I love it!

Some wonderful comments above and i’d like to echo all of them but also add that this collaboration between model and photographer is again producing outstanding artistic work. Above it is mentioned that Jo would like to write some short stories to combine with the images presented… What a great idea and extension to the collaboration… Perhaps a book type publication could be considered entitled (and themed) “The Quiet Earth” with the visual and literary combination? I think there’d be more than a few of us here who would support such a product! Well done again you two!

Interesting picture i like

I’m impressed with the angle and dreamlike effect. Impressive

Nice work! I like it!

Another stunning capture.

This is really quite beautiful Paul….

This is such a beautiful shot, i love the flecs of light across her body, the angle is superb.
I truly love everything about this image especially the sense of peace i get from this image.

I LIKE IT…..

Great,, love the tones and the vertical grass !!!!

WHat great images you and Jo are producing. It must be wonderful having such eager collaboration partners!
Anyone want to volunteer? :-)

Very poetic!!, very artistic!!!.

Beautiful and elegant image.

Very interesting. Looks like she’s swimming under water. You could easily use this to create a mermaid portrait as well.

think I must have missed this one first time round…! Great pose and capture…! A delivhtful softness in the whole shot.

It’s extroardinary how you have her looking so much like she’s underwater. Allround stunning shot Paul. You are the man.
