LOVE IS NOT FAR. KEEP LOOKING FOR IT! :heart:

See the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album

The other woman walking in the distance is an important element in
the composition of this picture. The guy on the rocks is attracted by
a beautiful but fake holy creature. In my view, the person with the red
backpack symbolizes the real and genuine LOVE... but it is actually
going away from him. Hopefully he will take the right decision before
it's too late (it's just my own interpretation, I understand you might
see something completely different, I even encourage this).

This is a photo I took during my trip in Spain, while I was walking the
"Camino de Santiago de Compostela" (some 700 hundreds kilometers
in a few weeks). I met some amazing pilgrims during this journey.

I also made the drawing. If you wish, you can view here the work in
progress, some details and the scene from another angle.

Happy New Year in advance.

(The above picture has been shot with the Samsung NX11)

All about You

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

It is all about you
Every day that I wake
Like a symphony new
In its moment and take
Every dream that's awhile
Of the echoes go
Form and its somber style
That we both now know

It is all about love
Every day and dark night
Moving clouds of above
Till the sun comes up bright
Every wandering going by
In their trips and desire
Burning sun setting sky
That's in the glow of its fire

Love is all about this
That you keep and you long
Like a morning freshly bliss
In a springtime new song
All that comes and is staying
With its gold spurring thought
In the times of its saying
That each love has on taught

Critique by ~joellanus 3 hours, 23 minutes ago
Your pencil vs camera works are legendary! I first found them on stumble upon and am proud to be critiquing them though I can't find anything wrong with them.

This is an intensely deep picture, I like how mystic and exotic the paper woman is, and the broken heart also adds a lot to the meaning. It appears as though be piled up those rocks one by one in order to reach up to this beautiful woman and not only did she break his heart but she is not even real. While he is chasing this fantasy, A woman so walking by and he could miss her (perhaps the woman he is meant to be with?) I am amazed at the skill and thought that wend into this piece of art!! You are an insanely talented artist. Keep being amazing

It has the classic use of the colour blue for the background, and the texture of the clouds creates a very interesting effect; stormy, with clear skies peaking through from behind.

The almost-bleak blues complement the colours of the rock pile and the grass nicely: colour wise, the only things that really stand out is the grass in the foreground and the red backpack that the person, presumably a woman, in the midground is wearing.

The composition isn't 100%. The lines of the mountains and the clouds on the right help to draw the eye off the picture to try and see the wrist that is holding up the sketch.

The sketch is an intriguing choice - at first I thought the woman was supposed to be an embodiment of mother nature, and that the broken heart was supposed to show some sort of symbolism in accordance with the person walking away. (Is the man choosing between his love of nature and his love for the person?) Seeing Cupid though, I decided that the woman in the sketch is probably Aphrodite (with a similar back-story).

The symbolism of the person walking down the long road that seemingly goes on forever hints at a break-up or rejection of some kind, either emotionally or mentally. This is supported by the broken heart that Aphrodite and the man is holding.

While I really like this piece it is not my favourite of your Pencil VS Camera collection, though I do believe it to be a very successful example of art.

I agree with the concept in the picture, it's also what I grasped when I stared at it.

A genuine piece of art :nod:

Your intent for the piece actually shows through quite well, at least to my eyes. I see him reaching for healing from the goddess figure, but then my eye is drawn downward to the woman on the pathway, moving away, more luminous than the artificial figure above. His focus seems to have been drawn down to her, however, as he pauses in his joining of hearts with the goddess... perhaps, in a moment, he will go down from his pile of debris and follow...

I like it :3

Do I even have to explain why I love your works? Not only do you create beautiful art but you prove how good you are with photography and sketching by putting the two together.
