15 Apr 20 Comment Rick,

First photo is the big one, or the original one off to the right hand side? Reducing highlights as in Photoshop erasing and replacing the areas?

Thank you, stay safe!

15 Apr 20 Comment Joan, I love this photo and I am immediately drawn to the swan and the reflection. I like how the water is in movement, or appears to be, but wish all that grass above the swan was gone. I could see a ethereal sky above the water where all you see is the swan and its reflection. Perhaps some kind of background that has more of a fairy tale like feel? Or moon rising? I don't know, just playing with suggestions. I do love that swan and its posturing. Just beautiful. Apr 14th
15 Apr 20 Reply I will get rid of the highlights doing what Joan suggested. These were the brightest peppers I had ever seen. Do you think they would look good with some water drops on them? They do have a sprinkler system above that sprays a fine mist. I didn't think about that until just now. Apr 6th
15 Apr 20 Reply Wow I missed that! I so enjoy sharing photos and hearing comments. Thank you again! Apr 6th
15 Apr 20 Comment Rick, you always amaze with your composite pictures! I would love to come take a class on how you even start to do something like this if you ever decide to have one! I can see what Larry is saying about the busy back ground, but I see it as the universe and the stars and planets. Though I would almost like to see it as a dark sky when the stars would be out, or a grayish color. Are the two men sitting on a seat so to speak and flying on the world and carpet? I like that they are very plain and not cosmic :-) Thank you for sharing another of your creations with us, you are inspirational! Apr 6th
15 Apr 20 Comment Bob, I love your shrimp boats! I agree about cropping out the boat nose and lines on the left side. The ones that are there are such a neat composition of color and the blurriness of the reflection suggests movement of the water which is fine. This would make a really neat puzzle! It reminds me of the Shrimp boats at Rockport, MA. Again, very nice shot. Apr 6th
15 Apr 20 Reply Thank you Joan! The colors are what attracted me. I didn't crop, it is as it was taken. I was on my knees in the grocery store, up close and personal. I will do what you suggested in Photoshop, thank you. If I were to enter this in a PSA or S4C competition, would it be under "Color?" I can enter it as food in the fair. Thank you again.

15 Apr 20 Reply Thank you Larry, I understand what you are saying about your eyes bouncing from one to the next stem as mine do as well. With the original one that has only one stem, I see it and my eyes are drawn up to all the color. Doesn't an abstract have no definite shape? I like the original because it has one stem, but a lot of highlights. I will try as Joan suggested below to brush it out. I like the 2nd one (the two stems) only because the peppers don't have the bright spots. Apr 6th
15 Apr 20 Reply Thank you Linda. I was just walking down the isle and saw the red and yellow peppers and just had to take a picture. Of course people thought I was strange, but I couldn't get the picture out of my mind. Apr 6th
