Thanks Ruth for your edits. Personally, I prefer LuAnn's white vignette that matches more with the white pumpkin color around the frame. |

Mary Ann,
I am a fan of double exposure, so I really like it! One nit pick for you to consider: The top part of the watch makes the vase like transparent (the viewer can see the shape of the watch behind the vase, which is nice) but the small bottom part of the watch seems to run to the front of the vase. I'd suggest to adjust it in post processing so that the double exposure works well for the entire image. |

Here is my suggestion for a tighter crop. Please let me know what you think.

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for your comments and suggestion to nest down the black swan gourd a bit more so that it does not look like floating. This scene is just my discovery at the pumpkin patch, and I did not set it up. If it were my choice, I'd prefer not to nest down it either because I'd want to see the full black dress of the swan. |

Thanks everyone for your comments. I agree with Michael and Mary that blurring the white pumpkins a bit would make the swan gourd stand out.

Hi Michael,
The portrait of the penguin is beautiful! You have also got a clean background to make the bird stand out. The strong black, white, orange colors and details of the bird's skin are clearly seen. Your minor adjustment is nicely done to bring out the birds' eye more visible, but not overdone.

Hi Mary Ann,
Your oil painting effect gives the vase and the watch a beautiful look. The background also has a nice, gentle paint stroke, and it makes like a velour canvas. Your dedication to improve your image is rewarded!
My question is: There is a part of the watch that overlaps the vase. Did you purposely create a double exposure effect there? |

Hi Ruth,
This is an interesting and unusual shot of a baby alligator on a lily pad! At first, I thought it was a dragonfly. LOL!!! Your post processing has brought out the sharpness, the details, and the colors of both the alligator and the lily pad.
I'd suggest to crop tighter on the left side to eliminate the top leaf and especially the green vertical one at the bottom that was out of focus that could be distracting, and also the top part to eliminate the empty space. Since the tail of the alligator is quite long and it does not show in full, I think that the tighter crop could make your composition stronger for competition. Great shot! |

Hi LuAnn,
Wow! You have reached to perfection with this image. I can see that practice makes perfect. The setting of the 3 garlic bulbs, the composition, the light, and the shot all work well and make this still life scene so beautiful! I especially like your selection of red garlic cloves to crack open, which also brought the pink reflection on the wooden plank. Excellent shot! |

Thanks Pat for your kind comments! I have lessons learned from this that the Superimpose app is different than Photoshop. Once I exported it, I cannot go back to fix the image. |

Thanks everyone for your comments and your suggestion.
I intended to blur the background a bit or replace it by another color to see how it works but I forgot to save the teapot image after cleaning the busy background (and I don't know if Superimpose let me save the image without the background layer or not!). Too bad because it takes time to start all over again.

Hi Ruth,
The blue sky and white clouds gives the viewer a sense of open space and happiness. I understand your feeling but personally, I wish to see the houses or the entire shapes of the trees as part of the image. Without them, I feel that the image seems to lack of the main subject. |

Belinda,
It's an interesting creative! The overlay applied over the sunflower using the patterned book cover is beyond my belief. The water drop also yadds more drama to the scene. I really like the intriguing part of this image that pushes me to study more. I don't mind the flower and leaf at the bottom left corner since it covers the empty space there and it does not compete with the main subject.
I wonder why you need to convert the image into B&W before applying the overlay? I'd suggest you to experiment the overlay with the color version of the sunflower.

Hi Jack,
Your creativity has transformed the image into a beautiful scene. The shape of the saguaro cacti are the right choice for the silhouette and the warm sunrise glow.
I'd prefer to remove the plants on the right side that are a bit distracting, but leaving the small plants on the ground could add more fun to the image. |

Gene,
The color of this cloudy sky is interesting, and the reflection adds more intense feeling to the scene. I'd prefer to crop tighter on the top to eliminate the white clouds and to make the houses on the other side off center, and to brighten the land area a bit more. |

Very creative, Pat! You have transformed a regular shot onto an art piece. I really like the sharpened edges, and the bright colors that blend nicely together. The vignette around the frame adds more artistic effects to the image. Nice work! |
