Agh.. one day I'll find the time to code 'real' scenes, but for now I seem to be stuck
in
minimal abstract stuff. Anyway, I think it's quite pretty.

The fact that you see somthing in it makes it an abstract. If the artist
intended you to see something in it. If the artist created it just for the
look that was created then it is call non-objective art.

I thank it is a very good non-objective piece and it looks like it could be
great for the background of a webpage or titleing of a video.

As for getting around to real scenes I would say this is better than some of
the "real" scenes I have seen. A grood graphic artist has to learn how to
make simple shapes look great. you did just that. Good job.

To add to that. If you animated the blocks moving slowly up and down in
random or perhaps with a factal patern it would be great as a background of
a video title. It would eat up a lot of bandwidth to use it animated on a
webpage but it would look good animated there as well.

Hi,
I was NOT criticizing Andrew's work which is a nice picture :-)
I was playing at a kind of Rorschach test.
I agree we don't need to see something representative in every image or
paint.
But in this case, shapes and colors immediately made me feel the sweet taste
of a sugar block  dipped in coffee.

BTW Andrew, did you give a try at MLPov's bockeh focal blur?
IMOH it gives a better quality and more natural (pigment controlled) blur
than official version(squared).
You can find this patch here http://pov.monde.free.fr/mael/mlpov081eng.html

Cheers
Marc

No Marc, I didn't, but I don't know why I didn't think to try it. I have MLPov already
and
have played about with bockeh FB. I will re-render and post the scene again (complete
with a
few minor changes)

All the best,

I was just pointing out the use of the word "abstract" Most people call
non-objective art abstract.

Abstract is a non realistic depictions of a subject.
Non-abjective does not depict anything but the art.

It is very common to see things in non-objective art. That is where the
Rorschach test comes in.

Sorry if I sounded like I had problems with your comments. I was just
passing on some of this costly education of mine.

I am looking forward to more work like this.

Mmm, that could SO be me... But hey, let's be seriouse here - I couldn't do
realistic if I tried! LOL

But getting back to the point...

I like this image. It's simple, but it's cool.

Hope you don't get "un-stuck" too soon - I rather like where you're at now
;-)
Andrew.
