title well put. the red color of the branch really make it look as if it is bleeding.

A Madanapale classic... 7/7

Carlos my friend, I am loving the subtlness of your work lately You are finding such beauty and elegance in the simple things of the world. You know that is close to my heart. This is a beautiful work of art ...no crit....Oh and the ax....might want to check out Lenz!!

Love the composition and understated tones.

Glad you posted the P.S. about the sand...it (unfortunately) was the first thing I noticed. I think if got rid of it and went for a clean black background it would help a little. But then again, the scene is the beach so what do I know?

I wish it was me... it would mean that I had been in El Salvador - but unfortunately it was someone else...
Thank you again Carlos, I am again very touched I have to dedicate a new photo to both you and your son (or one for each of you, not yet sure about that) but I haven't found the "special photo" for you so I'll keep searching

I keep thinking that I already have commented on your work when I really haven't...kinda frustrating...

hehe well the authorities here in U.S. believe that it was done with bare hands, it was a crime of passion and no weapons were involved.

I like the sand...especially how it turned out so dark (unless it's naturally that color, in which case I am very jealous of your sand) It makes a perfect background...a plain one simply would not do here an the account of the texture of the branch...what's color is very appealing also. well done.

ohhh... the color and the texture is just great~~

Unbelievable how a log can look so colourful. The grain and texture in this bit of wood are stunning.

lovely
