And here is the final version, fresh out of photoshop, I just finished this piece and I am just oh so very happy with it. Of course there is a lot of symbolism in this piece, but I will leave it up to the viewer to decide how they wish to percieve Eve's visit with the 'serpent'. I am looking forward to hearing how you like my Eve :) Spread Peace Always! Leah

This is absolutely great! As for the symbolism, I find it all positive and very powerful... if I'm on target, Eve is not afraid at all of the snake, and even seems to be embracing it, while focusing more on the apple... the snake, on the other hand, despite it's aggressive look seems to be protecting Eve.

a most definably powerful vision. It speaks to the innermost mind. Mr. Nads doesn't seem to know a thing about symbolism. it is obviously the Winged Solar Disk of ancient Sumeria. I Feel it accents the depiction nicely. Great Work!

Eve looks like Elvira and the Nazi symbol on the apple does nothing for me. If you wanted a picture of her screwing a snake why not just post it.

Artist Reply: Well thanks for stopping by, I guess....but maybe next time before leaving a comment you should know your symbolism....that is Not a Nazi symbol on the apple my friend, its a winged disk, an ancient symbol used by both Egyptians and Sumerians...and she obviously is not 'screwing' (as you so eloquently put it) the snake...its obviously a representation of the 'serpent rising', a much treasured and ancient system of beliefs that you presently must not be aware of...Spread Peace in all that you do :)

Nice redo!

I've always been told that sometimes "less is more" and this time I agree. Tho this is pretty and nicely done, I (personal feeling only!!!) think the original is more intense with no distractions, just deep feeling!!

This came out very well Leah but in all honesty I loved the black and white version of it. I normally do not say this but this is one time that the lack of color in the original was really fantastic and did not use the color to take away from all you incoporated in it. I like this version but of the two I like the original better.
