Hi Lisa, thanks for your comments, very worthwhile. I haven't used Vivaza for some time - need to go back to it. |

Hi Melissa, I have a friend who does a lot of abstract work and through her I've learnt to appreciate the beauty of the artform. Your piece of work is really lovely and has a nice balance of complementary colours, various mixes of textures and shapes. The more lighter part being the off white acts in leading the viewer to the koi. I don't think I'm able to offer any constructive feedback on improvement. As others have said, well done. |

Hi Brian, as always thanks for your comments. I'm not sure what the distracting elements are in this image. All my composites are of subsection of Creative called altered reality. As mentioned, Alan's version is not mine, it's his. I'm not a "minimalist" and none of the composites that I have submitted in this group are of that genre and I'm hoping that people accept and critique my work as it stands not change it to their vision of what it could or should be. I accept people's work as it stands and endeavour to provide feedback on aspects that I can see for improvement not change it. |

Hi Hazel, you're right Alan's version does create a different scenario but then it's Alan's vision; not mine. What I endeavour to achieve is Altered Reality which is about placing elements that you would not find in a normal, realistic setting. If I had an Australian version of a telephone booth I would have preferred to place that there. Thanks for your comments. |

Hi Brad, a very pleasant scene, I especially like the night sky with the shooting stars. You might consider blending the two images so that the colours are in alignment. You might place a copy of the night sky over the ocean and use linear light blend mode at 40% opacity to blend the night scene. |

Hi Melissa, thanks for your kind comments. I take your point about the young woman's hair colour and will tone it done. By the way, her hair colour was not put there by me in PS but she purposely coloured it for the photoshoot.
This did not take me all that long to put together as I have built the background scene sometime ago and have used it in two separate composites. I have a stock of cut out trees which are photographed from the area where I live and the telephone booth is from a trip to the UK. The bird on the branch is a garden bird. Most of the time was spent in blending the colours. |

Hi Brad, thanks for your kind comments. I have a different view to Alan's and do not think that this scene has many elements that needs removing - there are only three key elements that make up the story, the young woman, the gum tree and the telephone box. The two minor elements being the bird on the branch and the sky birds, which you would normally find in a rural setting are there to add some credibility of a rural scene. |

Hi Alan, thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated that you time the time to come over and visit our group. I can appreciate that you see this scene differently to what I had planned and so I don't mind you changing it to demonstrate your point. It's the storyline that guides me to choose elements that I think would work together to create scenes that I have imagined. But it's not in-line with my original story and by removing key elements changes the scene entirely to something different to what I have in mind. However, you have given me an idea for a future composite. |
