I like it Marija! The soft colours and the sharp edges match well, and also how you turned the 3 photos in different angles makes me look at it longer! I see your point about the last photo, its maybe just what you wanted to acchieve, this way you can recognize what it is a little more. If you dont want it to be recognized, then maybe upside down is a option!

Good framing too!!
The only thing that is a LITTLE distracting, is the bottom of the first photo. Thats all!
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Marija,

It seems so professional! If you didn't say it, I would think you kame collages all the time. :)
Beautiful formations and warm colours. The light and shades here 'play' a wonderful 'game'.
Well done!!

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I had a peek in the gallery and saw this master piece. Then I noticed the author's name. It was my Marija! ;o)

Fantastic Madame. Great infography work but first phenomenal photography. You mastered the light, shadow, color tones perfectly.

Have a great day!

Very nice collage work Mare! I really like the soft tones here and the mood. I wouldn't rotate photos because if you felt it's OK than it is really OK. Actually, that thick white line that goes from lower left corner, and on the third photo goes from the top down to the lower right is a great "background" detail. The only nitt-picking detail that disturbes me here is that small upper right corner of the middle photo but nevermind.
Very nice work, your architectural shots are amazing!
Pozdrav!

Hello Marija,
This is wonderful!!!! Amazing collage! You achieved a great impact mixing curves and straight lines! Shadows and light look wonderful too. It reminds me of some of Dali's paintings!
Thanks a lot for sharing!

i think it's very well done,i tell you why.The first photo has a shadow in the left, the third has a shadow in the right.Shatows are asimetric(in music asimetry is very very important), but they kind of complete eachother.

Bravo!!!

I havent had much time for comments here, lately... but I couldnt help commenting this one :)
Somehow .. that photo appeals a lot to me...
Many of yours do, I really like your pictures.. but THAT cabinet.. has a ... "je ne sais quoi" that charms me more then I can explain.. I bet there's usualy something in that room that I like beyond words...
I love the compo. and I think the last pic is perfect like that. If anything at all, I'd rather not concentrate so many dark tones in the confluence between the one at the left and the one in the middle...if you see what I mean...
Kudos on a great job, Maria.. and kisses (special ones) for the geography teacher. :)

You see things around you without paying too much attention and suddenly it hits you, images start to build in your head, you just need to let them out. So you grab your camera.
I'm fairly sure this what happen prior you decided to shot those pictures. I love everything about them. The colours, the framing you've used on each picture, the spot on exposure. And the very nicely achieved tryptichs (which will go to my polyptichs themes that I've created for this type of picture). A personal favorite.

Well done.

If this is your first I'd say keep 'm coming. This turned out very well indeed. Infact it's one of the best abstract photo's I've seen so if you don't mind I'll crtl+c this one in my fav-box.

Beautiful triptych. This is art! Not bad at all for a first effort ;-) So elegant in it's simplicity. I know it's all about the photo but here the framing deserves a compliment too. Keep 'em coming.

Hi Marija,

I can't give you any suggestions on a collage, because I've never made one. But...I really really do like what you have created. It feels soft. Great light and POV. I'll say, keep them comin'

Skin tones! My first impression was skin/body parts, and then I couldn't think what parts they might be! :) Very, very original, Marija! It's soft and intimate, somehow.

Love it!
Gayle :)

Good control of the light in each picture, Marija! The montage by itself is very good, although a bit heavy on the frame. I don't think you should have included a grey area in the left picture, and also a wee bit in the middle one. Just keep with the forms which are very powerful the way the light hits them. But I really like the concept. Hope you don't mind my critique! I sincerely think yo did a great job!

Very nice montage and composition Marija,
I like each of this simple shapes with great contrasts and nice geometry in them, with the effect of the light and shadow. Very well done.

So I see that you have finally attempted a montage, Marija, and as usual you are presenting a very artistic one. I have looked at it a few times but never had time to leave a comment. I like you idea of presenting variations of the same object but I think the last one on the right is the best picture. I think that it is critical to carefully select pictures so that they can be a story told from the pictures or that they are similar in shape & colours. You are right that the light is wonderful creating a very sensual mood. Very good first try and continue to experiment...

Sorry, my bag is empty!

wow... you really did it this time. This is an amazing piece. Such simplicity but the soft lighting and curves really make this amazing. How do see these beautiful things in such everyday life? Great job. JP

Excellent montage Marija. I particularly like the lights and shades of the soft colours in the cabinet - very effectively captured.

Great one! Its really eyepleasuring work of art. I like your collage and color tnoes in your shots. You combine them good. only thi centeral shot has a little disturbing part at upright. And spaces between shots can be equal :)
Very nice work Marija!

Hi Maria
This is a stunning trptych that I would gladly hang on my wall. The shapes and depths of shadow are really enhanced by your choice of light. Tones are wonderful.
My only suggestion for improvement would be to have left out the lighter coloured diagonal shape in the bottom left of the first image.
Otherwise, do more. Please!
