I LOVE Sylvia's stuff generally, but this piece falls a little flat for me. I'm not sure how much I like the cool blue tones or the girl's pose in this one.

ill - I'll definitely second you on that one. The colors just don't do it for me. This "dias de los muertos" look (apologize if that's not what she was aiming for) definitely works better with red and black, like the piece masao626 owns.

i'm going to be the dissenting voice here and say that i truly love the cool colors of this one as a departure from her more popular scheme of red/black (which i love, don't get me wrong

i think i'm going to regret not purchasing this but just bad timing for me.

I agree, I love the blue tones here.

It seems that many artists opt for red, or warmer colors sometimes to make that "impact", when this piece has that impact for me and it isn't a warm tone.

Walking through a gallery filled with new pieces she is making, also gets quite redundant when it is all warmer tones. It needs to be broken up with cool colors.

Received my print today. I'm a huge fan of Ji and this image, but I'm not crazy about the thick border on this print and shipping in a 3" yazoo tube.

There doesn't seem to be an option to add attachments here, I only see pictures from photobucket, etc, but I posted it at my usual haunt at expressobeans. forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=29281 The printing is nice and rich though.
