Thank you so much for taking the time to introduce yourself, Rafi. This photo is started out as a shot of the back end of a fighter jet. I knew I wanted to do something with it, I just couldn't think of what. I dropped out everything but the silver metal cone. I added the peace sign and deliberately made it subtle in order to have make the viewer look twice to see it.
Clearly more of a PS project than photo, but I did like the way it came out.
Again, nice to meet you and look forward to viewing your portfolio.
Mark

This is out first meetng on the pages of UF, but you used both your first name and mine, so I'll allow myself to do the same.
I read your bio, Mark and looked through your entire portfolio, not difficult because there are not too many photos and difficult becaude it was hard for me to select one to comment on. I was tempted by your "Morning Glory" because if you go through my potfolio you will probably see more than one of it in some variation or another and your "Reflection", because it is also a favourite theme of mine. I finally settled om your "War and peace" because it is the most relevant to us as a country, now more than ever. It is also a great idea to take this photo. I don't know if you found it this way or produced it in P.S., but either way it's relevant.
Thank you for your very friendly comment on my "Dry leaf on lamps".
You are, of course, invited to pay further visits to my portfolio and read my bio.
Best regards,
Rafi

Hi Mark...
Very creative idea... You managed to create a very descripting picture.... The framing also adds a lot to it... Love the look of the metal, versus the peace sign...
Cheers,
Maria

Svend, thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate the time and thought that went into them.
I considered several different ideas with the peace sign. Metal was one of them. I even had a photo that would have worked nicely. I tried it and it didn't have the effect I was looking for. I wanted the peace sign to be very subtle and be something that the viewer had to look twice to see. I hoped that the title might cause that second look.
The peace sign is actually a picture that I just changed the fill color in to get the effect I was after. It was a large decal on the back of a VW bus I saw at an air show. It was white. Too harsh for my tastes. I changed the color to a darker, more subtle one to give it a more surreal effect.
I posted it looking for comments like yours and I really appreciate it!
Mark

Great idea but it lacks full realization. Work on the peace sign to make it metallic: don't use PS effects, take pictures of shiny metal with lots of interesting highlights in order to create a metallic peace sign. Chrome would be great (maybe a shiny Harley Davidson could provide the material?). Add in the metallic peace sign and you'll have a very striking and ironic picture. Alternatively, you could give the peace sign gentle treatment: create it using a photo of grass, for example, shot from above. This would give a very different image. Sorry if I'm being too prescriptive: it's what I would do! Rgds, Svend

Getting pretty creative here Mark. Such excellent detail in the metal. The framing sure makes this picture stand out. Don.
