Mo Better
I should always give myself a week after making something before posting it here. As you can see, I've added to the Power of Autumnal Equinox and I think it's a stronger piece than before. What do you think?
I like that the child's face is a bit less obscured and not so consumed in red and that the chaos of equipment and wires has taken on a more menacing look. It's like looking into a conflagration and wondering what survived.
I really like the additional wires and power lines; gives the whole piece more "punch". I think I got something similar to what Maureen described out of it. Specifically, it made me think of one of my favorite post apocalyptic books from my scifi library; Swansong. A little girl whose face is scarred in the initial nuclear attacks is the main character and sort of a source of hope for all of the "good guys" in the novel. There's something about the face in your piece that has that same optimistic sense (hint of a maybe smile, perhaps) and contrasts really nicely with the wires, which I also took as somewhat menacing.

thanks for your always insightful comments Maureen... I really appreciate the feedback!

thanks Lab Rat... I think it's interesting that most people read the power lines as being bad in some way
