Ok, now I have to admit for now I am working in a virtual photography medium (hoping to go to real photography this coming year). I stage pictures with props and poses, though I prefer onsight locations in amazing places and then take those pictures and clean them up, some I try to make as realistic as I can or to look as much like an actual painting as I can. Looking at all of them now, I can see the growth of what I've done..where I was and what I am doing now. I must admit..I can't draw a straight line with a ruler, but when I really get that shot I like, I'll spend hours working on it.
I..like my pictures to have emotion. I recently did a set, I realized at after posting the emotion was wrong but then...it touched someone else so I realized where it wasn't what I was intending it still had an effect on others.
It's hard to know exactly what to post, looking through the threads, my own all seem so...immature...but here's a few examples...

I'm still yet exploring and settling into a "style"...recently I have been working more with reflections....I tend to like darker subtle colorings, I don't work in bold or pastel. Earthtones or blacks and greys. I can look at the picture for days, weeks (I pile them up in a folder) then one day it "speaks" to me..and I can then begin to work on it. Usually I'll find even more things I wish to do to it..after I upload it thinking it finished...and want to go back and work on it some more.
