This mixed media presentation is full of symbolism and is dream like in its form. The best interpreter of such work is the dreamer him or herself. The rest of just get to project our own conscious and unconscious thoughts on to the image. Doves, A barred doorway, boy , Mex X , the chair on the waters surface and the reflections. Listening to the instinctive self about life and the reality that there is something beyond all the barriers before us. Hope and reality co-exist and may we all listen to the messenger within. Wonderful

excellent fantasy and amazing imagination and I hope this will be a "real" scene, children talking to bird and one person to another

Have a Happy New Year

This photograph is not what it seems. I don't know vaguely what it depicts. I can guess, but I don't care. I sense a luminous quality. I see a celestial happening. I see of water and ice. I like the layered sense of depth in this composition. Fine work!

Your center of interest has a lot of impact. Love your concept here. Your technique is very good. Will make a good image for the contest. Thanks for sharing and good luck. Charlie

Torn here on this one because the birds seem so out of place against the boy on the chair and then the door/water I dont think it should scream that it is made of many photos but that is must my opinion.Like the door with white on white. Like the water.

Quite a photographic creation. Pretty amazing what you did in the editing process. Composition, clarity, contrasts all good. Very good work and good luck in the contest.

Very creative and surrealistic, I like the doves of love and innocence of the child. Very interesting and creative composition and I like there is a lot going on in the picture. Nice shadow of the bird.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Very innovative, imaginative and creative use of the high key treatment, layers, and flood filters in interpreting the contest theme.
Tie shadow of the pigeon is very realistic as if there's a strong uplight source from the ground fronting the subject...
Doesn't the boy needs some soft shadows too?
Well, thanks for sharing your artistic prowess.
Merry Christmas & good luck!

Very nice composition and patch work of several images - perfect emerging technique, great story behind it, your vision has been realized and well presented - a super peaceful image on one hand showing a natural disaster on the second hand but the trust of this little boy with his doves are showing how to live through such a situation, staying calm in love and confidence - well done, great entry, all the best for the contest

I like the realism vs. digital in this. Beautiful dove, (pigeon?) I like the barn doors and how they're illustrated. Very cool image. Good luck in the white contest.
