- Underwater: good vs. evil -by =SandyLynx

Contests / 2009 / Bring Your Vision to Life

_{_{"Good and Evil have the s a m e face;
it all depends on when they cross the
path of each individual human being."
» Paulo Coelho

This is my entry for "Bring Your Vision to Life" contest.

EXPLANATION of my vision:
You can see the girl underwater. This work is surrealist, because
fire can not light up under water, it self-evident. However, I did so
intentionally. I wanted to show us that evil come anywhere. There
is no place on earth in which there would be no evil.

The upper part of my work is good, the lower part is evil. Oxygen
is a good side because it is life-giving.

Good is the top of my work, because destroy evil. To have a sense
of life, they must exist. Therefore, girl have eyes of different colors.
In each of us is good and evil. When someone is evil it still has
the good part, however, must find it in themselves.

Nice concept in the manipulation. The contrast between good and evil is shown well in this image by color and elements. I like the way you split the image down the middle and blended together well in the middle. I also like how you included part of the color from the opposite sides in the eyes. To me this shows the duality of good and evil within a person and there is always some good in a person no matter how evil they may seem. The technique of this image is done well, the only thing that I see that sort of stands out, that doesn't really blend well is the way the flames were cut out, they seem like they almost have a sort of red border/glow around them, but its not a convincing glow, so maybe to fix that the spread of the glow could be increased so that it comes away from the flames more evenly and blends better with the background.

The colors and contrast are so very amazing. The concept is
fantastic.
I really love the underwater and the flame. I think there are two
ways to look at this work. Maybe the bubbles could have been
more sharp. But the way I look at it. with the flame below and
the rising heat it would have distorted the bubbles almost to a
boiling state.
With the texture above the bubbles it looks to me that its what
you were trying to achieve. I found the whole work in general
most beautiful. And I wish you luck in the contest

Beautiful harmony of opposing elements. I like how the girl's eyes reflect the opposite of their place. She looks ALMOST comfortable in her duality, but not quite.
