Your stabilizing technique, though unconventional, worked well as I see sharp edges even on this enlarged section.
The image reminds me of Japanese art. I particularly like the fragmented silhouettes allowing the idea of age to be seen within the beauty of that light.
From the original - just for fun - I offer a different composition where I sought to frame the subject with other elements of the foliage.

Freddie - truly an abstract image as I had no idea what the source could be. I do not see insects - I see fantastical feet.
I like your selection/isolation of the interesting forms and the contrast you have drawn from an essentially white surface. Perhaps some regions are a little too black (?) or perhaps this is deliberate to from an eerie shadow.
The use of snow features against a background from which they can be isolated seems very rich in opportunity - I will be out this winter to imitate.

Karl - fascinating project and I would imagine hard to arrive at these definable shapes. In my view the owl is the most successful, though the body is comes through due to its whimsey. I think that the spheres are a technical triumph but I do not think work here in that for me they lack a contextual excuse.
Perhaps two "people" throwing a "ball" would work better.
Seeing your ability to render shapes I would love to see the owl with a pussy cat set on the sea in a pea-green boat ... |

Lauren - masterly done in my opinion, I particularly like the strips of white on some to the edges. The shape reminds me a child's hair on a happy day.
I think this is a wonderful image and the color is striking, screaming for one of those competitions where "red" is the theme. That said, I do think there is texture in the petals that B&W might well exploit. |

I agree that your treatment is a good complement to the subject. Unlike others, I am not worried by the signage - for me its reminder of the real context serves to highlight the humor I see in the antique processing.
My one possible suggestion would be to take the bottom right corner left a little and up a bit more - as I think this makes the bike more of a subject within the image (which it deserves).

Kathleen - lines and shadows, I see, on two different scales due to the mesh shadow seen so clearly on the arm. I have tried to imagine the image without the arm, and I concluded that it is key - not because it forms the subject but rather because for me it breaks the pattern while pointing the viewer "into: the whole image.
An inspired angle in my opinion. |

First, I like it because there is a wide range of tone without excessive contrast (my own sin). I see the subject as being the from leaf - and its detail for me is sufficient to merit the image. The back leaf is as Peter points out not as sharp, and I think this supports what I see as full black and white regions on the leaf: basically I see it as already an accent to the front and so its more graphic (than realistic) treatment works. Finally the third element provides a transition between these two styles and I think completes the composition.
Nicely spotted! |

The missing footprints might be a problem (?) unless this women fell from the sky. |

to clarify for others. The original 2 is what came out of the camera - original is what I would consider to be the "color version". |

Linda - I must say that my first impression was the singular vivacious FUN that your image captured: it is an excellent capture of joy - which I think is a really significant achievement.
Hard to say therefore what I could suggest to change ... I tried two things: 1) cloned out the light feature on the right - and brought the edge in a little - because I think it is a distraction from the women's leap, 2) in camera raw I enveloped the women in a thin oval and within that I added light and contrast so that they stand out (I think) a little more from the background.

Peters I see this as a charmimg portrait of the young girl - identified by the clear focus as the subject. I think the sky replacement is essential to this image - I tried to work without it and the bland sky really distracts. But iI want to say that I am very impressed by your success with the repacement because the white coats seem to me to make the process very difficult.
I have myself tried to make these scenes from English farm shows into a useable image - and I must compliment you on your success: the portrait of youth is an excellent hook.
The one change I might offer is to add a little to the left : one more human. In my opinion the judge - strong enough to be a secondary subject - is too close to the edge.
By the way - do you find that second sheep a little distracting? |

Barbara, I love the outcome: it seem so crisp and dramatic. Most impressive to me is the way you compensated for the shadows in post and brought the brightness on the dark side of the cube up so that some of these squares were even brighter than the front surface. The new shadows beneath it are a nice touch.
It seems very futuristic, even robotic - I really like it when it rains. |
