This is my favorite yet, Marvin!!! i won?t spend time on why it works because it combines all your best talents in superb results that need no elaboration. However, one thing, and it is purely personal, but nonetheless...The text that includes your name, etc. is tastefully done and actually a well-conceived part of the composition but i don?t like personal advertising in a photograph. It then assumes the rather lowly identity of a poster or a business card. When you have breathed life and a multitude of dimensions into an image, as you have done here i believe that you exalt the elements that previously had another identity. The image has a quality i truly feel to be a kind of life form. It has dignity and meaning that was of you but is not you. To me, you diminish and prostitute the integrity of your own creation by insinuating yourself into the image in this way. Please forgive me, as i said, this is a personal thing to me. This is an absolutely stunning image. Congratulations! kat-
