15 Feb 20 Comment You may be right that the sand adds to the image. Gives us more of an environment. Feb 24th
15 Feb 20 Reply Bob,
Of course you can enter creative images into the general group. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Rick does it all the time and I do it from time to time.

15 Feb 20 Comment I like the delicate blue trumpet thing in the seaweed. I wonder if there is any way to blur the seaweed more so it really stands out more. I also suggest cropping it on the top and right side a bit to bring us in a little closer the the center of interest. Currently, it is in a good placement in the thirds, so maybe it's best left alone.
I would love to know what it is.

15 Feb 20 Comment Excellent capture, Linda. As you can see you are back in our group thanks to Barbara Miller. This has a great deal of impact with the hand shielding the face and the wonderful shadow. The only thins I would do to make it even better is to remove the white area in the lower left, make it blue to match is jacket with the clone tool.
A really superb catch!		 Feb 12th
15 Feb 20 Comment Flying chaotic blocks catch one's eye for sure. A lot of work went into this and it shows. The bottom and top cubes catch my attention as they are larger, centered and have a person on them. Don't be afraid to cover some blocks up partially. Although each one is a work of art in itself, the composition would be even stronger if you didn't worry about that. As it is, it is a remarkable piece of work with all kinds of interesting objects on the faces of the blocks. Your title is very appropriate.
Great work!		 Feb 12th
15 Feb 20 Comment Bob,
This is not a creative group, although creative ideas are always welcombed. The use of the filter in Topaz gives a Fractalius-like look to it, bringing it more into the realm of a comic book feel. I do like your attempt to brighten it and make the viewer instantly aware of the image. The original, although nice, doesn't have that impact. Compositionally, it's like two reverse triangles, one the dock, the other the church. which complement each other nicely.		 Feb 12th
15 Feb 20 Comment Yes, the raptor is going to get me! His head and eyes are very sharp and intense and the out of focus wings make him look like he's really flying. Fills the frame nicely. I just saw an piece on 60 Minutes on the Golden Eagle raptors in Nepal. The eagle handlers only use females as they are stronger and better hunters than the males. Just a little trivia. Feb 12th
15 Feb 20 Comment Thank you, all.

15 Feb 20 Comment I know you could add more comments about this for next time, but for the moment we'll go with what we have. I't clearly a ceremony in which the two women carrying the tray in the waves are critical. I love the colors you have achieved; the saris are always so attractive. What makes this for me is the one woman who is looking away from the other participants. I wonder what distracted her? The angle with which you took this is quite elegant, giving us a diagonal which makes the image more dynamic. Feb 12th

21 Feb 20 Comment Wow! Quite different from the final result! A lot of work must have gone into this Feb 24th
21 Feb 20 Comment Both covers are quite interesting. You are right that the second book cover is more compelling to me and wants me to look inside. Feb 24th
21 Feb 20 Comment I have tried four times to put up the black and white version and only get the colored version. I throw up my hands on this one. It's a mystery.
I do like the B & W image better and also the treatment that Brian suggests of tilting her head to get the more diagonal line between here eyes. She is a very lovely subject and I compliment you on your photo ability to capture your daughter so well.		 Feb 12th
21 Feb 20 Comment I apologize for getting the two images mixed up. The final was the monochrome version attached here. Feb 12th
21 Feb 20 Comment Steve, It kind of reminds me of a turkey's neck sticking out from the planet-city. It would be helpful to see the real originals before the treatment that made it into a tight-knit circle. I think the colored background works so well because it is also circular like the city-planet. Feb 12th
21 Feb 20 Comment Wow,
I'm so glad the two of you had such in-depth discussions about smoke photography. I have never tried it. I agree that the black background would made some smoke photos more dramatic, but, Brian, I think the colors you have would make it more difficult to see your smoke patterns. Your use of flipping has produced a look that reminds me of bats flying toward me, which is both scary and intense. I does not, unfortunately, remind me of a kaleidoscopic picture. You may notice that the brown smoke areas sort of look like a Horst's torso. You can find almost anything in these abstract images, which is what makes them fun. 		Feb 12th
