18 Nov 20 Comment I seem to have omitted to post your How I did it - apologies.
For the benefit of others here it is:-
I took this photo at a local park donated to the community by the Dunham estates. Using the small world app as I guide, I used the 3D function of Photoshop to recreate it. I then added a painting texture from Topaz Impressions. I then layered the original photo into the center.

The 3D is not a part of Photoshop that I have explored; your use of it has created a very interesting image. Your reworking has improved the central section. Could you tone down the green by using the sponge brush in desaturation mode?

18 Nov 20 Comment My professional life was spent in Forestry so I always enjoy looking at pictures of trees. Your species in Australia are of course very different from ours in the UK.
So I enjoyed both your original images of the eucalypts but am a little undecided about your combination of the two as the result is rather confusing. Perhaps the image needs something more birds or a kangaroo just to provide something for the eye to settle on.

18 Nov 20 Reply I understand that but you must have the original image to share with us? Nov 12th
18 Nov 20 Reply it is interesting how we can see different images within an image. Now you have mentioned the bird I see it's feathers. Nov 12th
18 Nov 20 Comment Looks a yummy cherry coated scone. The Topaz filter works well and I appreciate that the effect does not extend to the jar and plate which adds that addition layer of interest. Perhaps a small slice off the bottom would allow the plate to rest on an added keyline. Nov 11th
18 Nov 20 Comment You have done a great job with the shapes in your treatment here. The limited colour pallet works well. Might I suggest a crop off the bottom edge so that you lave a blue triangle as the base? Nov 11th
18 Nov 20 Comment It is always difficult to critique your images Mark as you rarely send us the original so that we can make comparisons and offer constructive comments.
To me your image looks almost as if it is a derivative of a shot of a fried egg.

18 Nov 20 Comment Interesting treatment which one either loves or hates on first sight. Afraid I fall into the latter category with this one principally because of the top third, so I would crop off all the sky and mountain leaving just the whacky view of the city. Nov 11th

20 Nov 20 Comment A great image Jerry. Your use of Topaz has emphasied the successive ranges of the hills and introduced interesting colour. Nov 12th

41 Nov 20 Comment Thank you Lisa for sharing your workflow. It encouraged me to have a go and I attach a first effort. The original was a rusty traier panel with peeling paint. My only addition to your technique was to saturate and sharpen before saving. Nov 18th
41 Nov 20 Comment This image really caught my eye as I browsed through this month's images. Who would have thought it started out as a cow! Great piece of work. Nov 12th

64 Nov 20 Comment You comment that you probably prefer the original Jerry. I agree, but would work on carefully saturating the colours using individual colour channels. So much to look at and certainly the type of image I look for in my travels. Nov 12th

81 Nov 20 Comment Great image of this floating Cosmos. Just need a keyline to hold it together as viewing it now I cannot see where the image ends. Nov 12th
