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?

Here's one possibility--I think the black background is a key element. |

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. |

The judging hasn't happened yet. The results may be known next month. I'll take a look at Photocrowd, thanks. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

It's lively, vibrant. Well done! I'd also like to see more of this type of image, Mark. |

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. |

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. |
