14 Feb 17 Comment What a lovely image, Eleanor! I like the pale colors you have in your photo which helped to convey the dreamy effect you wanted.

18 Feb 17 Comment I absolutely love what you've done here, Peter! You've transformed an ordinary shot into a moody one. The foggy look that surrounds the cabin is fantastic. If it were my photo, I'd bring back some of the original look in the leaves at the top and bottom of the image to give it a more realistic yet still moody look. But wow! What a transformation you've accomplished!

18 Feb 17 Comment We've been talking about this technique for quite some time, Mark, and it looks like you're progressing quite a bit with it. I think I'd use just the bare branches for this picture, placing them on her face only, and masking out any trees behind the model's head, as well as her eyes and lips. Then desaturate slightly, if necessary. Feb 19th
18 Feb 17 Comment Great processing, Meg! But in what product is the Sunflower seeds filter? I use Topaz regularly but never saw that one. Feb 19th

20 Feb 17 Comment I love your image jut as it is, Cindy! How very creative! I can't help wondering how difficult it might have been to get all those ropes selected! Great job!

24 Feb 17 Reply It happens to all of us, Tom! No problem at all! :-) Feb 19th

24 Feb 17 Reply I believe Ian was referring to Right Hand Side, Tom. Feb 19th
24 Feb 17 Comment Love it! Beautiful, Jerry! Feb 19th
24 Feb 17 Comment Here's a version with a simple green border. Feb 15th
24 Feb 17 Comment Thank you for all the comments. I've tried your suggestions and like the result. Thanks, too, for the visual, Tom! Feb 15th
24 Feb 17 Comment What a great image you've created, Pam! I love the porcelain-like skin on the model, and her eyes are beautiful. I don't mind the lights appearing on the model's face because if you erase too much of that effect, it would lose the cohesiveness of the montage. The only change I'd suggest is lowering the opacity of the one light at the lower left. The cylindrical part of the light seems distracting to me so if you could mask just that part and lower its opacity, it would be perfect to me. Feb 5th
24 Feb 17 Comment I love Chihully glass and photograph it whenever I have the opportunity. Unfortunately, I never knew what to do with my photographs afterwards. You have come up with an interesting idea, here.
I prefer the second version, Jerry. It's a great design with brilliant colors. The only change I'd make is to soften the curved red line on the bottom left side. I noticed that Ian suggested cropping out the black area at the lower left corner. That would solve the problem with the curved red line, too. I like your creativity!

24 Feb 17 Comment Great composition and subject matter, Ian. Your crop and healing tool worked well, too, and I'm glad you took the effort to use them. I also like the texture effect on the horses and enjoy experimenting with oil paint filter myself. But I find that PS's oil paint filter produces circular lines that I feel detract from most images and makes them look "Photoshopped". This seems to be the case with the sky and background but oddly, not with the horses which look great. If you have Topaz Simplify or Topaz Impression, I'd try them instead, at least for the sky. But what a great image you've created! Feb 5th

34 Feb 17 Comment Your processing on this photo is superb, Candy! Although I don't have On1 software, you've inspired me to try something similar on my own rodeo photos which never seem to be usable for competitions. I love what you've done!

62 Feb 17 Comment What a beautiful image, Tom! And I love what you've done with the smudged layer! Yes, I agree with bringing back some of the mirror's handle as Angela suggested. But your overall work is great!
