Artist's Comments

Part Six of my series, reflecting my observations on life through cherries.

:bulletred: Subject: DeviantArt

How do we see ourselves at DA, and how do we view DA as a whole. Life may be "like a box of chocolates", but to me, DA is like a bowl of cherries. We may all look similar on the outside but it's what's inside that counts. We take comfort from being surrounded by like-minded others, and being part of a group. Some of us are happy enough to go unnoticed in the middle of the pack, whilst others strive to be top of the pile, hoping to be picked.

:bulletred:

Photograph shot with my Minolta Dimage A1. All comments and constructive criticism welcome, either on this part, or the series as a whole - it's the only way I'll learn :)

Oooh this one had me thinking. I see myself here at D.A as someone who likes to make others happy, the people who comment on my work because they like it makes me happy, I dont care how many favs or page views I have, I just want to bring some happiness and brightness to the lives of my friends here. I appreciate art of all kinds and what takes my eye goes into my favs or I will make a comment. Where am I in the picture do you think?
This is great again babe and its a fav. Thanks :boogie: :boogie: :hug:

Where are you my dear? You'd have to be the sweetest looking cherry at the heart of the bowl, offering support to those above you, and encouragement to those around and below you :smooch:

Thanks again for your support and the :+fav: :glomp:

I'll shut up, because nobody likes the mushy cherry in the bottom of the bowl! I'm not sure how many are left in the series - it may only be one or two so I'll have to go through the photos again and see what's left. That, or go out and buy some more cherries :D

Again, a very nice capture...

And it is sharp! :aww:

At first I disagreed with the way that you cropped it but now after looking at it for a while, I agree.. lol

thank you, and I'm pleased you think this one is sharp enough! ;) The image was cropped this way when I shot it so I've only added a little extra white space above and to the right.
