Group Round C/R Comment Date Image
18 Oct 21 Comment Thanks to Jim and Ian, I went back to the image and produced this one. The runner (and more importantly, the flag) are a bit too far away for me; what do you think?

18 Oct 21 Reply Here's one possibility--I think the black background is a key element. Oct 10th
18 Oct 21 Reply Thanks, Ian, but my bike shot hasn't won anything except at my club contest. It happens that it was the other image I submitted to the contest I mentioned, so there's a possibility it will win something there. I'll find out on Nov. 14. Oct 10th
18 Oct 21 Reply The judging hasn't happened yet. The results may be known next month. I'll take a look at Photocrowd, thanks. Oct 5th
18 Oct 21 Reply Thanks, Jim. I played with the runner's position--left vs. right, nearer vs. farther, but I didn't consider closer to the center line. I think I was torn between my two roles, runner and photographer, as I would never run with oncoming traffic at my back (as I appear to be doing here), and particularly not in the center of the lane. Artistically, you may have a point, though I wonder if the danger to the runner would distract viewers. Oct 5th
18 Oct 21 Comment Very creative, Jim! Congrats on finally finding the way to present the tractor--I'm sure we all have had the experience of knowing that there's a good image based on a shot we have, but not getting it right on the first X-number of tries. Kudos for your persistence and the final result. Oct 5th
18 Oct 21 Comment The original shot is a very charming shot of the English countryside. With your changes, you made a painterly version of the scene, which I think works very well for the sheep, foliage and water. I wonder if partial masking of the bridge would be an improvement. Oct 5th
18 Oct 21 Comment It's lively, vibrant. Well done! I'd also like to see more of this type of image, Mark. Oct 5th
18 Oct 21 Comment I like your revision better too. It looks like the original was a painting; is that right? I do like the sense of depth one gets from the image. Oct 5th
18 Oct 21 Comment Sometimes creative works make us feel uncomfortable, but that doesn't detract from the creativity. You used found objects to make an interesting new image, well done! I agree with an earlier comment that I'd prefer to not show the areas of overlap revealing both layers. Oct 5th
