Reviewer Chooses the Title

This is quite enjoyable to see it has a friendly impact somehow. A challenge to name this abstract. It's has appeal, in its colours and construction. It reminds me of buttresses, guarding an entrance perhaps bridging water as I see a reflection. Of cork substance. It has a warmth and each is opposite to the other, like Yin and Yang. "The Entrance to Harmony'

    Hi Brenda. Thank you for your review. "The Entrance to Harmony". What a cool title. Personally I have no idea what this is. It is the result of using several filters and out this popped. Thank you again Brenda for the cool title ~ Steve

What a unique and rather
challenging abstract to name. I think it has outstanding dimensional depth and texture. I see faces, some metal, wood,
some stone and mostly protection, like an armour.
I would call it Shield of Agate ( which I read is the birthstone of Gemini) thus embracing the appearance of twins in this image.
Fantastic work on another beautiful and challenging
abstract FS! These really are fun!

    Hey VO/B-

    Thank you for the review. I have no idea what this is except the result of using a munch of filters and adjustments. "Shield of Agate". Cool, I like it. Fun creating these abstracts. Thanks again VO/B- (notice I left off BB?) ~ FS

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


WOW, great introduction and deep going thought- this looks to me like a highway to the center of our beings as more far we reach out as smaller this way gets and it costs to pass the tiny part of temptations to free ourselves from the negative world. This piece shows perfect harmony of both sides even if the content is very different in design and structured pattern like female and male powers within us belonging to the same being that need to become balanced to find eternal inner truth
you have created a great piece and the wooden structure with natural browns shows that all answer lie in nature itself. WOW. This did not come from my mind xoxo

    Wow Regina. This image really drew out some deep thoughts. I think that is one of the things that an abstract is supposed to do. Personally I have no idea what this is. It kind of reminds me of two female forms facing each other but the textures don't seem very feminine. Glad that it gave you pause for thought Regina ~ Steve

    You are most welcome - when I review I rather feel the piece instead of looking and then the thoughts come through while writing - so it is genuinly divine - Always welcome

It looks like both you and Allan have got a taste for the abstract these days, and I how no problem understanding why. It is of course because it is exciting to experiment bringing out new shapes and lines, and that you never know how it is going to end.

I especially like this one because of the great textures you have bright out, and also because of the limited color pallet, and the fine lines and shapes. This reminds me a bit of two naked women facing each other, but I have not come up with a good title.

It is sharp and well defined details to be seen, the image is well exposed, and I also like the stripe of colors at the bottom because it offers a nice contrast.

The format and framing works really well, and it is a good flow and balance in the composition. An creative, intriguing and well done abstract Steve.

    Thanks Annie. I have no idea what this is except the result of experimenting with various filters and things. It is fun to see what appears. Having fun is what it is all about. Thank you again Annie ~ Steve

Well another neat and artistically done abstract creation. Love all the very well detailed textures and the excellent sense of depth. I immediately saw the mirrored edifices as two very large legs that are part of a huge statue guarding the entrance to a mysterious land beyond. So my title would be "The Sentry"

    Hey Ed. Hope all is well.

    Thanks for stopping by and checking out this abstract image. "The Sentry". That is a really cool title. I never thought of a huge statue guarding an entrance. Good imagination Ed. Thanks again my friend ~ Steve

This photograph is not what it seems. I don't know what it depicts. I can guess.I enjoy the architectural structure and the layered sense of depth in this piece. I am intrigued by the carefully overlaid and varied marks. Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you Seshadri. I have no idea what this is either. It is the result of experimenting with different filters and effects. Thank you again for your review my friend ~ Steve
Comment from supergold


at first sight, I thought it was an image in the mirror but the texture is obviously different; then I had some hesitation between metal and stone: I think it is rather stone;
no more idea...

Comment from alaskapat


Wow ! This looks like huge wooden formations , perhaps guarding a place , maybe a castle , I love the details and the way the texture shows so very well,the red markings and purple markings makes me think of a tribal symbol or a type of identification mark, this is well photographed, perfect focus, the image is clear, exposure is perfect, I would call it Standing Guard, well presented Steve!
