>>8054644Thank you for your appreciation. I have a tiny Youtube channel, but I'm not allowed to advertise it here directly with a link or name. In a few days my next piece will be finished - with a hinting filename.
>>8054751Because it isn't the center of the scene. I wanted to create a balanced still life, where nothing should be in the clear focus, since there is no action, no plot. Beholders should immerse, not focus on a single spot and wait for something to happen.
I placed it approx. in the golden ratio on the X and Y Axis of the frame. Together with the tree and the group of banks it marks the left and right frame of a square cropped version for instagram and tumblr.
You have a point with the blank spot to the right. I tried several ideas, but non of these worked out. I decided to leave the space blank and move on to the next piece, not due to impatience, but because I don't wanted to bite on to the scene and get seriously stuck.
I fail with every new work, but keep pushing until I'll succeed eventually, it's part of the process. But I appreciate your honest words.
