21 Dec 18 Comment I was hoping for more comments. Oh well. I hope everyone had a nice holiday, and best wishes for the new year! Dec 31st
21 Dec 18 Reply Thanks! I agree the glasses are the focal interest point. Most of my photography is stereo, or sequential for 3D viewing. I left much of the surroundings in, since the depth is my primary focus. The challenges for me were aligning the various images, and manipulating the color to keep a natural feeling when viewed in 3D. If I had cropped it as you have, I would have realigned the two elements to give more interesting depth, and the color would not have needed much adjustment, making it less suitable for this exercise. I have attached an example. Dec 17th
21 Dec 18 Comment Over all it's a well composed image. The coyote is the last thing I saw, but I wouldn't say it's too dark. It is after all, lurking. The thing that is distracting is the difference in transparency between the left and right twins and their 'ghost' images. Also, the ghost images are aligned in exactly the same positions. A change in the size and angle would give it more perspective and less of a 'cut and paste' feeling. Dec 10th
21 Dec 18 Comment I like how the inverted outline makes the gate seem translucent. The shading on the street surface gives a somewhat unnerving but interesting distortion of perspective. Dec 10th
21 Dec 18 Comment Nice flip. I like the contrast of textures. I'm not seeing the oil gusher though. I see an ice castle in a puffy canyon.
...Or maybe a dwarf on a long escalator.		 Dec 8th

68 Dec 18 Reply I like the leaf. It gives balance to the parallax. The fact that it is isolated as the closest point, and also overlaps the wave crest (which is the furthest perceivable deviation point before infinity) gives it depth it would otherwise need a wider base to achieve. Dec 28th
68 Dec 18 Reply I'd love to be in group 68, but there were no openings for 3D. I chose group 21 in the mean time so I could work on my compositing. The 'creative' connotation gives me the freedom to still post the occasional anaglyph, as long as it's in the spirit of the group.
I sometimes equalize shadows a bit by boosting the contrast, and if that's not close enough I add a layer and use a pencil tool to draw lines, then use the drop shadow tool to create a shadow layer from the line in the direction I want. Finally I turn off the 'line' layer leaving just the shadow. Hope this helps!		 Dec 23rd
68 Dec 18 Comment Great depth, all the way to the curtains on the back wall. The only issue I see is the off axis horizon. And as David said, your vivid description adds interest to the image. Dec 22nd
68 Dec 18 Comment Beeautiful. I especially like the composition, with the depth of the pistils balancing the depth of the bee. Dec 22nd
68 Dec 18 Comment I think this image could have benefited from a slightly longer exposure. However, that might have increased your camera shake issue. I might have tried increasing the brightness, and lowering the contrast to make use of the soft focus, rather than trying to sharpen it. @David Allen... The strays seem to all be behind the front edge of the bush. I attribute the disparity of the few lights to wind moving leaves from in front of them during the long exposure.
...And happy Holidays to all!		 Dec 22nd
68 Dec 18 Comment A very well composed image. The ambiguity of the background keeps the interest on the chairs, and accentuates their depth without drawing the eye away towards the horizon. And congratulations on a ghost-free anaglyph. Dec 22nd
68 Dec 18 Comment I'm surprised that SPM auto alignment was able to recognize the branch in the foreground. I always have to use easy adjustment on images like this. Nice job. Dec 22nd
68 Dec 18 Comment Nice conversion. I think the conductor is playing a mushroom theremin with his other hand. ;) The only issue is the mismatched shadows on the faces of each kabouter. They seem to be in different time zones. :) Dec 22nd
