15 Apr 19 Comment Excellent composition, really sharp throughout. enough light on the darker seeds so that we can appreciate them. Goes to show what you can do with a phone camera.
Where's the bee? Ha! Ha!		 Apr 26th
15 Apr 19 Comment Rick,
I love this. He does seem to be floating above the "water." That makes it very other worldly. I wonder how it would have looked if you used Flood and brought the water level up a little higher. Just the opposite of Jeri's suggestion. I guess it's because he was posing in a particular way, but not in a really swimming pose.
But the colors, how you handled the placement and the framing are all marvelous.		 Apr 26th
15 Apr 19 Comment Al,
Beautiful photo. Sharp as a tack for the bee. Well placed in the frame. Also great bokeh in the background. A very well done nature and pictorial photo. One suggestion: That you darken the bright yellow parts of the inner workings of the flower, as allowed both in pictorial and nature.		 Apr 26th

21 Apr 19 Comment I must be kind, since you were copying my idea, but quite differently. I've never heard of the extrusion filter being used to create a rusty feeling. I would be nice to have a copy of the originals in this case for comparison. The colors work well together, primary all. Well, green instead of blue, but close enough. I do like Brian's version of it better; the composition is much stronger. Good idea, well executed. Apr 26th
21 Apr 19 Comment Steve, I almost like your original better because it has a truer fish eye feel than the final product. I like the colors; it reminds me a bit of the inside of a plane. I wonder if there had been some way you could have incorporated the doors, which are quite fascinating. Apr 26th
21 Apr 19 Comment For me, your image is quite beautiful. I do like high key. Very simple. You kept the background uncomplicated, which works well. You darkened the corners, also bringing the eye into the young lady. Actually, I like your placement in the center. Studio photographers may use the centered approach more than we camera club members, so it resembles strongly such an image. Very nicely done. Apr 26th
21 Apr 19 Comment John, I can't help but think of this a a mommy pig and her babies suckling. Sorry, it just came to mind because of the juxtaposition. You have turned reality into a type of painting, with very strong colors predominating over any nuances in shadows and lights. I'm not sure about the composition (see above), but the concept is quite eye-filling. Apr 26th
21 Apr 19 Comment Barrie,
In this case, the pastel colors work well for me. They do distract from the dynamism of Yosemite, but it appears to be an artistic work of art a bit off the regular beat. I see Seurat there dabbling his pointillism. I'm not sure it needs something else, but you could play with darkening and lightening areas, such as the sky and foreground.		 Apr 26th
21 Apr 19 Comment Brian,
What program do you use to create the spheres? I have never been happy with those from Photoshop.

21 Apr 19 Comment Brian,
Great composition. The bubbles bring it into the creative field, which is what we are touting in this group. I like the three sizes of the flowers and that you twisted the dahlia in a different direction in each. They also form the revered triangle so loved by judges. I feel we are just looking at an image that was formed to fulfill our pictorial instincts while still adhering to the creative concept. Logically, none of these things go together, but as Donna Reed in It's a Wonderful Life exclaimed, "Who cares?!?
As for the color vs. B & W, they each have their pluses. The greens and orange colors are opposites on the color wheel, so go so well together. The black and white version emphasizes the composition more than the colored version. I like both. Whimpy me.		 Apr 26th
21 Apr 19 Reply That's an interesting idea, Barrie. Meerkat on the top. Apr 26th
