79 Jan 20 Comment Hi Lauren, This method of lighting a scene creates a beautiful translucency and lovely color. Well done. Simple things like the diagonal composition and various views of the blossoms make it more interesting. The focus stacking helped make it 'picture perfect'. Karl Jan 25th
79 Jan 20 Comment Hi Sandra, I studied the image before reading the description. I saw a very active night scene. A feeling of motion from wind or rain came through. The image has feeling. It's quite moody. A blurred moon would not help.

79 Jan 20 Comment Hi May, Good art is often quite ambiguous. I perceive that you like to raise questions visually that allow each viewer their own interpretation. The legs in the bottom half are the only parts that say 'human' to me. The rest is motion of forms that could be animalist or sub-microscopic. The iage is not a clear communication but one in which we think that we see something that we recall from life experience. While most of Group 79's photographers work in abstract ambiguity sometimes, you seem to go the farthest.

79 Jan 20 Comment Hi Judy, I love how you keep working and refining the zoom and blur technique. It looks like a moment with dramatic music from a thriller movie. The eye effect and color variations help a lot. Karl Jan 25th
79 Jan 20 Comment Hi Valerie, I like your interpretation of the scene giving it a simpler look, nice shadow detail and texture (particularly in the guitar). There are two ways to use the texture. One is to create an overall texture screen as pictorial photographers did when printing in bygone times. The other is to apply the texture and then mask or partially mask (30-50% opacity?) areas that may not respond well to the texture. In this case there are points where the texture runs across dissimilar materials (e.g. guitar and clothing layers). Both approaches are valid so it depends on personal interpretation. Karl Jan 25th
