5 Jun 18 Comment It has won a Merit Award at Singapore, amongst others, and has been selected for this years PSA Exhibition Jun 9th
5 Jun 18 Comment I don't know if this helps Nick. Some time ago I attended sculpture classes at the local Technical College. The attached picture was made of a model in one of those Edwardian shoulder baths. It was fashioned in clay and then copied with a peuter metalic finish by a cold casting method. My wife had a pale golden scarf with gold highlights. I draped the ends of this round the model in the bath and then recopied in film adding the blue and gold colors. Jun 9th

8 Jun 18 Comment If you crop the bottom out, it looks like a sureal monster. You will then have an eyebrow effect, an eye and a bottom jaw,
especially if you also crop the lightened bits at bottom left and the lamp standards.

10 Jun 18 Comment Beards leave me cold. For me, they belong to the stone age, before modern man grew up!. Well. I shall be 96 in August. Jun 10th

14 Jun 18 Comment I like the way in which the green treetops in the centre are hi-lit. A beautiful picture! May I suggest, cropping a bit off the dark area at the top and removing the darker tree on the left. This would more centralise the bright green leaves. Jun 11th

20 Jun 18 Comment Interesting ! The kingfishrs seen in England, are a much more colorful bird. They are mainly a mid blue in a fascinating shade. Also, they are sleeker and do not have the rough head plumage.
Here, they are a very active bird, fast, and difficult to photograph. So you did well.

23 Jun 18 Comment His was done using oolor variations in photoshop. Jun 30th
23 Jun 18 Comment I have had a go at recoloring. Do you like this version?

23 Jun 18 Comment I have just caught up with your article in the PSA Journal.
The April and May Journals did no arrive till very late, and the June copy has only just come.
I must congratulate you on your pictures and the thoughts behind them. Above all, congrats for having it accepted for publication in the Journal. A wonderful display.

23 Jun 18 Comment It is a mystery, Marilyn.
I was playing about on my computer, when the basic idea suddenly appeared. I worked on it in photoshop to get this effect.

23 Jun 18 Comment Perhaps it was a mouse ? Jun 13th
23 Jun 18 Comment Yes! I think that has improved it. The topmost red band of clouds is better. You are the clever one. How did you manage to catch the furthest bird in that bright sector? Jun 9th
23 Jun 18 Comment Haunted? Eh Dave. Well there's a thought. Jun 9th
23 Jun 18 Comment I like the original more. It makes me wonder if she was screaming because she had seen a spider on the floor. The background colours make a nice setting. Jun 8th
23 Jun 18 Comment I wonder how it would look if darkened down to bring out the beautiful colors. It would probably look more of a night scene.
I like the way the shoreline debris makes a lead in to the picture.

23 Jun 18 Comment I take your point, Shirley. Obviously, the inclusion of the wing brings back memories for you. I just thought that excluding the wing, made it a more ethereal picture, for others to see and to hang on a wall. Jun 8th
23 Jun 18 Comment A spur of the moment well caught picture. I would have liked to have seen what she was laughing at included to the left, so that we would know the whole storey. Jun 7th
23 Jun 18 Comment Yes! It is a wonderful shot. I like the way the golden sunlight on the trees goes diagonally across the frame. As Dave suggests, it would look more dynamic if was darkened a touch. Jun 5th
23 Jun 18 Comment A lovely tranquil scene. To improve it, may I suggest cropping to the right of that last single cloud, then removing the airplane wing by cloning in some if the cloud effect to the left of it. You could even reduce the bottom to exclude that lower dark cloud. Depends on what you want. Jun 5th

23 Jun 18 Comment This calls to mind the saying of one of the olden days film stars. "Here's looking at You kid". The eyes are well held, but the whole picture wants litening up for me. It's a bit too dull.

23 Jun 18 Reply I should have added that the position of the slightly out-of-focus stairway, for me, serves as an eyebrow. Jun 5th
23 Jun 18 Comment To me, this is more about the eyeball in the centre of the picture. In fact, the more you look at it, you see a face, with a yawning mouth, two beady eyes and a helmet above. One to keep for the records. Jun 4th
