This is absolutely stunning Cat! The beautiful colors of the glass look wonderful with the black background and the composition, lighting and cropping of the images all work together to make an effective ad. Love it! CJ

Thank you Shu!!!!!! I am soooo sorry that I missed to thank you for your comment. I certainly appreciate your such a positive feedback. Lee and you both suggested that I should look into selling. Do you think it would be worth to include works like this in a portfolio ? -Cat

Now this is simply superb; I love the colour, the fabulous way you have presented it, the copy, pretty much everything about this. Excellent. Cheers, Vikas

Looks very nice. I often times wonder if people just think I am an ass, but I think feedback is how we all learn. Glad that you took it with the spirit that it was given. Chris

Copy corrected. Border corrected. Problem with flat lighting corrected. The eye of the storm... Hmmm... can't do much with it. Square is closest to a circle with 4 sides. With 4 photos this is the best format I could come up with to provide fluidity IMO. All other patterns I experimented seemed static to me. -Cat

Thank you Albot, Nico, Pops, Lee, Chris and Lonnit :) I am so glad that you all liked the presentation. Lee, The gallery is only for few more days, here in Atlanta. Chris, You have a keen eye! Your observation is 100% correct. I will see what I can do. Lonnit, The big displays are too complicated arrangements, and busy on the eye. I wanted to step away from that and concentrate on the subtlety of his work. Hope I could capture that. -Cat

Kudos to you-dos! I've got to say, I am sooooo SICK of chihuly glass. It's the most overshot stuff. But THIS! Finally, it presents it in an appealing way! I find the stuff so overwhelming and cluttery. You've presented it in an attractive way, giving the ability to examine a small bit of it at a time. In this presentation, it is indeed attractive. In those big cluttered displays, I just find it obnoxious. Bigger is NOT better. More is NOT better. Thank you for your extremely tasteful display!!!! ~ Lonnit

As in Dale,http://www.chihuly.com. He is a very fine glass artist. I like what you did a lot, I really like the image in the upper left, and lower right, I think that you did a great job on the lighting. The other two images seem a bit flat and dull compared with the other two. Overall I think that you did a really nice job. I am not sure about the empty space in the center of the images, since Dales work is so fluid and organic the geometric pattern seems out of place, and that spot just seems a bit dead to me. I am not a copy guy, but you need a space in your description after the "2.". Also, I would even up the spacing on the type, so it matches the spacing that you have between the pictures and edge (on the left). I think that first line of your description is just out a bit too far, it should be in more like the second line. Chris

You could sell this to the gallery. Very well done.
