Jim and Piers. I have done a quick edit as you have suggested, but I feel the newly edited image loses the impact of the original. |

I think you have achieved your aim. The eye is guided by the lines to the tips of the stamens.
Well done a great image! |

I like the conversion to monochrome, however my eye is distracted by the top tulip which is out of focus. Maybe clone it out and leave the lower, front flower. |

I really like your final image and I will have to do some research into the Adamski Effect. It is really creative.
With your original image I would maybe reduce the amount of foreground water and remove the sky by cropping them out, thereby making a panorama. You have been cursed by the flat light during your visit which is a pity! |

Piers, this image is a mass of colour. I find it hard to distinguish the main dancer from the performers standing behind him. I had a go at separating him from the background but it got too complicated too quickly.
I like your darkening of the background on the right hand side of the image and the inclusion of the tops of the feathers in the reworked image. Maybe the same treatment would work on the left hand side. There again, it might just make the image look "overworked."
Have you tried cropping in really close so that the face and shoulders of the main dancer become the main focus for the eye, rather than the torso, head and arms?
I like the main dancer and it is a pity you couldn't have taken him to one side after the performance and photographed him with a quieter background. |

Jim, I like your post production work on this image. The drop in sky looks good in comparison to the rather bland sky of the original image.
I particularly like the frond of grass connecting the grass to sky. It helps draw the eye towards the lighthouse.
The leading lines of the horizon, the sea shore, the rope fence and the clouds all guide the eye to the lighthouse.
It is a great image.
Maybe it needs a couple of people cloned into the beach area, just in front of the sun to add a little interest and weight to the right hand side of the image. Just a thought.
I like this image alot! Well done. |

Julie, you seem to have aquired a brownish colour cast over your image. Take the image into Photoshop and try the Auto color and Auto tone to try and remove it and thereby whiten the two birds. |
