15	Mar 19	Comment	Rick, I really like what you were doing here. Maybe the mattress people could take it as another way to advertise their stuff. I like that you colored the young man so that he almost looks like he came from a color shot. Because of your title, I would never have thought of hot coals. You do have beautiful sunsets to call upon. Looking forward to your next attempt.	Mar 27th
15	Mar 19	Comment	The title is perfect. I would love to find myself there and sit down and enjoy the surroundings which clearly have redwoods. The dark vignette is Ok as it brings me even further into the depth of the woods. In the future, when you give us information about your image, you should also include the place it was taken, the specifics of upgrading it using third party methods. Thanks.	Mar 27th
15	Mar 19	Comment	Thank you all for your kind comments.	Mar 27th
15	Mar 19	Comment	Linda, It would help us if you gave us more details, what camera, what time of day, any corrections you made, etc.	Mar 27th
15	Mar 19	Comment	Linda, Great time of day for this photo. I never knew that one cold walk across the Brooklyn Bridge at a higher level than the cars. Making the photo symmetrical was a good idea. Sometimes the judge says that this causes a static feeling, but for something so symmetrical to begin with, I think it works well. You chose the blue hour so that the yellows of the lights and the blue in the sky work so well to complement each other. Fascinating shot!	Mar 27th
15	Mar 19	Comment	Jeri, The first thing that comes to mind has nothing to do with the background, which looks fine to me. It is that you constricted the image from right to left, squeezing it so that the individuals look too skinny. That is easy to fix. Just go back into Photoshop and with Command Option >C extend the horizontal width of the canvas by about two inches. Then using the Transform tool, hold down the Command key and pull on the right hand and left hand handles to pull out the image. You should probably choose only the original image, not the added space, for the Transform tool. I wonder if you ever had the feet and car tires in the image. If so, be sure to include them, as well.

21	Mar 19	Comment	The fish are a mysterious addition to this. It's sort of like looking for Waldo, hard to find them. I'm not sure what you used to produce that wonderful swirly parts on the flower, but I can't imagine working for 14 hours without breaks on a single image. Kudo's for that! I enjoy the color, but on picking up the fish, I have a slight recoil feeling.	Mar 27th
21	Mar 19	Comment	John, This is very well done. The zoom of the background really sets off the player, who, although moving fast, is in this case caught in the act. Ironic that the background moves and the player is static, but nevertheless, he makes a wonderful center of interest. Great that you caught him hanging onto the basket and the ball there for us all to see. Really good job!	Mar 27th
21	Mar 19	Comment	I like this one, Barrie. Simple, good framing and the use of lines works really well. I've never been one to worry too much about the left to right flow, partly because it could just as well come from the left into her face which is, of course, turned from us. I also know that you are very aware of that flow and have commented on it many times in the past. It appeals to me just the way it is.	Mar 27th
21	Mar 19	Reply	Peter, Thanks for taking the time. I really like the final color palette of your image, but I would like to see it a bit lighter. We really learn from each other.	Mar 27th
21	Mar 19	Reply	Brian, I am flattered that you have taken the time to improve my image. I did feel that it was a bit light and I kept increasing the contrast, but didn't achieve your top image. I think I'll stick with the original colors, however. Thanks	Mar 27th
21	Mar 19	Comment	Brian, I admire your creativity and reminding us that one can do many things in the camera. We don 't always need to use Photoshop. Your sequence in which each time the image gets a little more distorted is a good one. Red is such a wonderful starting color, you can hardly go wrong. Some interesting suggestions by other group members. Keep giving us new ideas!	Mar 27th
21	Mar 19	Comment	Steve, This is indeed a weird cemetery. Although the color of the grass is definitely creative, to me, it is a bit disturbing because it is so far from the original color and so bold a color. I am very curious. What is the layer mode "grain-merge." I never heard of it and I've been using PS and layer modes for years. I like the fact that you used the iWarp tool to distort the landscape, much more interesting and the light green place markers for the deceased are also quite interesting. On the left side of the tombstone, you left a few black areas, probably from the erase tool treatment. I'm not sure what color would grip me for the grass; maybe a light blue. What do others think?	Mar 1st
