56 Apr 23 Reply Thanks Pat, the good thing with painting is that the learning process is enjoyable and rewarding. The bad thing I have to do other things and don't have time to do them, maybe they are not so enjoyable. I like your picture of the month, love the glow, and how nicely the composition went together.

56 Apr 23 Reply Thanks Trey, I did printed it out in a glossy paper on a foam core that is ready to hang up, at the Photolab in Duncan, close where I live and they made a fantastic print. Very happy with the result, thanks to you guys. Apr 23rd

56 Apr 23 Comment Yes great capture, love the look of the bird and the colour detail you have added to the feathers, and to the flowers, and yes it's addictive and enjoyable. Apr 15th
56 Apr 23 Comment Beautifully done, the structures contrast now so well against the colourful trees and the sky, giving a very vibrant final image. Thanks for explaining how you bring out the sky, I have noted. I use the camera raw, now it has many features and mask to work by areas, and luminosity.

56 Apr 23 Comment What a great work, the lighting and tonalities in the 3 images together went so well. Congratulations for your 25 years at PSA. Apr 15th
56 Apr 23 Comment Great flower arrangement and composition, love the detail of the flowers and the different hues you have gotten, got me interested and checked for more info about it. Very interesting. Great job. Apr 15th
56 Apr 23 Reply Thanks Cindy,

I have to go to my TIFF file to find out about the BG,
I usually like to use my own BG, that I created using all the elements and subjects of the picture and blended; but in this case I use a BG that "Elevate your Art" give us, its very subtle, no chunky look, and we have to repaint it adding the chunky look. I change the tones with PS, and this is what I got.
Cindy thank you so much for your support, and pointing out for the light direction, it makes more sense.
I chose this image because I've been practicing painting abstract flower, and it's hard to let it go, I mean as photographers we are more in detail, and it's hard to let it go, that's why probably I didn't know how to handle the centre.

56 Apr 23 Comment I don't see any failure in your painting, it is a beautiful image and it impacts me, I think in any style we choose there is beauty, and this one has it + the wow factor.
Agree totally with Nancy.

56 Apr 23 Reply Thanks Nancy, I really appreciate your input, I am including a file, what I think is what you suggest me, also I add a little bit of the burgundy colour on the background. Thanks again. I will also send the unedited photo of this image to Trey, if it's ok with him to post it. Apr 11th
