Hi, I was too busy yesterday to look at much, but this is good. I had to look twice to see the shell rising out of the water. That is either too subtle or very surreal. I can't decide. What do you think? Either way, I like it.

 

[siodre]

thanks ibclare. i was going for surreal and subtle, trying to not overdo it. wanted people to see the turtle (tortoise actually, oops...) then realize there was a landmass on it's shell.

 

[ibclare]

Then you achieved it. I like it. And I stand corrected on the too subtle as I look at it again (several times in fact, it is quite lovely).

BTW, are you Irish? I mean an Irish immigrant to Raxacoricofallapatorius. And is there a way to pronounce Siodre and what would that be? If you don't mind sharing that is.

:mrgreen:

irish immigrant unfortunately born in america... shay-drah, although now that i think about it that exact pronunciation may have been jumbled by the circumstances in which it's uttered (siodre means cider in gaelic, not the apple sort either).

I'm going to Malaysia, but am having a difficult time getting to Turtle Island without an expensive tour operator.

probably due to the lack of good directions/maps. it's almost as if the island keeps moving.

 

[ibclare]

And now we know why!

 

[Cindy Grundsten]

This is very beautiful done! I like the idea very much!

 

[siodre]

thank you cindy.

I like this ! Like the concept and the way you present it. Very well done.

The only issue I've got is the text being a bit disturbing and hard to read.
You could very well place it in a straight line along image bottom. Won't harm the image ...

 

[Vafann]

Very cool!

I think O know why you made it this way Siodre, but now that I think of it, I did ignore since it does detract a bit. You probaly just wanted it to be subtle, which it is until your attention leaves the illusion and takes in the rest of the image. So, the decision is, do you take Jgraph's advice which is goo - you could even position small text left, right, or centered - leave it off altogether, or tell us all to go to . . . (figuratively of course, LOL).
