So true, every once in a while we need to stand back and appreciate that even the simplest images with the most innocent items can evoke emotion. There is nothing wrong to take your work seriously. But then along comes something like this and it sort of puts it all in prospective. This image works, why? I thought about it for a while. You have this large drab gray square room. Yet it has a clean nice texture. Now ad a small pool of clear water with a nice reflection also a cool neutral color. Finally a bit dwarfed by the room there is this bright yellow google eyed duck, so simple in contrast to the surrounding. And wham instant affinity for Duckie Wukie. In this instance, scale and angle, more elements may have been distracting. Heck as some one told me a long time ago. It is easy to tell a story with elaborate techniques and many different elements. But to be able to do the same with just one or two, thats talent. Whether this be a happy accident like mine or not. And not to belittle any other work. This is my favorite and takes my vote.
