"you were like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly. the old ways are lost."
- lorenna mckennitt

poem by william shakespeare. images from davinci and the pirate archive. trying to create a sense of the past and how it's history is applicable to who we are today. constructive feedback is always appreciated.

people, myself included, weren't happy with the way the text fit into the original version of this image. so i removed the text in hopes that it will improve the image. i also added a little more for spice if others feel it lacks focus after the first alteration. all three images are in the zip.

wow. you put those images on the background together perfectly.

My only comment would be on the white text and its background bar as it doesn't fit in that well imo.

good points made on the text bar there. i've not been to happy with it and i'm considering removeing the text alltogether. i think that might actually be an improvement. btw, thanks much for the kind words.

Yeah, I agree with the rest of them... this looks really nice.. *beautiful*, but something about the text...It doesn't seem to "flow" with the background.. other than that...this is really nice... the pictures were blended and arranged perfectly.... great job~!* :) (Smile)

I really love this piece, and although i do see you put alot of work into this, i dont really see what's so special here. I love your technique and creativity, and overall good job. But for my taste at least, it's lacking something.

:iconanriel:
i agree with you. there's a revision up now without the text and i'm currently working on another revision that has the original flow i was looking for but retains the focus this peice has. not sure if it's good... but hey. we'll see.
:iconspyked:
awesome piece of artwork.very well done.
but that part at the top that says "Part of Negro Land" bothers me.
:iconfrenchfry:
awesome, great detail and lots to look at... good coloring for that aged, old feeling... a little busy for a desktop, i'd put it as art
