I really enjoyed this image Jim. I like that it's black and white, so that color doesn't interfere with the simplicity of the light graphic. I like the way you shaded the light, the fact it's off centered, and it has a base to ground it. Wonderful work. Bev

Thanks Bev & Carol, this is a common 8.5 x 11 white copy paper.

It's beautiful! Personally, I would like the extra negative space to be on the left instead of on the right. I'm not sure why.

Jim, this is a great image. Subtle, yet well defined and imaginative.

Thank you Kathy. The only way that I know to add more space to the left is to expand & clone the black along with the table top white light. The problem is the slit of light opening has to be close to the paper or else it will spread. I have a shot of this wider spread of light but it becomes something much different. You might like it, I might post later and give you a heads up.

Thanks! Actually, I looked at it upside down, also. That puts the larger negative space on the left. Somehow that seemed better to me. Maybe because I'm a leftie?

I didn't think to flip it. It definitely makes a difference.

The sinuous curve adds a sense of wonder and peacefulness. Im a fan of visual simplicity and graphic design elements so this appeals greatly to me

We all look at many, many photos in a week and pass over most of them in just a second or two. When I saw this image, I had to take it to full screen, stare at it and take it in. Nice work.

Thanks so much, now that's the sort of reaction I was hoping to get.

Jim, kudos on...
A fascinating, absorbing...and the most gently impactful image I’ve had the pleasure to quietly ... and slowly ... and appreciatively view in a very long time.
Definitely better than my blood pressure meds!
Hogarth would be pleased!

Dave
