3 Apr 24 Comment Mary Ann,
It was good to try focus stacking. I was amazed at thinking it needed so may images, even nine. Usually, landscapes can be stacked with only three different setting, not like a smaller object like a flower or some other smaller still life. It certainly wokd as everything is nice and sharp. Sine it was such early spring, the bare branches add nothing to this image and make it more complicated. Cropping until just above the horizon would help. I like the use of a river that is an incipient S-cure and the reflection of the very blue sky in the stream.

3 Apr 24 Comment Excellent example of how good the cell phone cameras are getting Everything is sharp front to back . The wide angle shot is well-composed and I like the way the light hitting the beach is in line with the conch shell. The dock keeps us from going out of the frame. So well done. The only suggestion I have is that you could straighten the done piles on the left in Photoshop, or probably in Lightroom and then it would be perfect. Apr 17th
3 Apr 24 Comment Ruth,
It is lovely just the way you have cropped it. As everyone else said, thecolor, texture and composition are greatThe only suggestion would be to make the border just a bit heavier, but I am so glad you had a border to separate the black backgrond from the black background of the digital dialogue back background Wonderful work with you macro lens

3 Apr 24 Comment Your original tells a more interesting story in my opinion. I love the bee on the crest of the moon. The painting, which you do not describe reminds me of Van Gogh. I would like to know more about the painting and who it is above the hive entrance.. In your final version you look like you are chasing the bees into the hive. I do like the continuation of bees up the painting though. Sometimes you initial cropping is the best. Apr 16th
3 Apr 24 Comment Thank you all for your kid comments. We did get to see these falls fairly freuetyly as y son lived in eastern Oregon in The Dalles which is also along the Columbia River. Apr 16th
3 Apr 24 Comment Bus grab shots are well worth the try. You can get seething that you would never have had the opportunity to acquire. I understand that the poverty of India shows through on this page..The shack on the left adds tot that as does the debris in the f front of the shot. You might consider cropping off the left shack because the shadows between the two shacks look like a black monster man is striding into the picture. I'd be tempted to copra him out and hav just the two shacks. It would also brig us closer to the action in the photo. But it is a great shot, nonetheless. Keep shooting out of the bus windows and car windows also for that matter. Apr 16th
3 Apr 24 Comment This is one of th e spots on my bucket list, that I will never make, so it was great to see such a lovely photograph of irt. The composition is right on and the sky is so interesting that it makes it seem all the more real. My only suggestion would be to use the Density slider inWWII to get this.. Have you read."All the Light We cannot See?. about a blind girl during WWII? It's a charming story. Apr 16th

18 Apr 24 Comment Looking at this, it immediately needs a white line around it to differentiate it from the BG. Apr 10th
18 Apr 24 Comment Jim,
You did a great job with this. It looks so much more like an antique postcard than the original. I like the way you faded out the background emphasizing the old car which I had also never heard of.. You have changed the image from reality into a daydream that we are transform back to 1922.

18 Apr 24 Comment Ian
I like what you did with tour original of the trees. The black and white is much more appealing both in the copping, change to monochrome and removal of non-essentials. According to the PSA definition of Altered Reality it does comply with a change pf color in the definition "The PSA definition of Creative is "Altered Reality." The image must obviously display a change in natural color, form, shape, or any combination of these three. Creative images are often montages (a blending or composite of multiple images).
I also like the black. border you have created to frame it. A very lovely image that would do well on the wall of a house or office.

18 Apr 24 Comment Gunter,
I love your beautiful colorful lines. It is a mystery as to how you converted the bridge into that but you mentioned some programs with which I am not familiar. It certainly encompasses the Altered Reality that was the original PSA definition for creative.. I think it's been changed but couldn't swear to it. You named the great aspects of the design in being symmetry, rhythm and harmony and I agree with you. Very simple but easy to appreciate and enjoy.

18 Apr 24 Comment Great composite! The old camera is really a classicd and the whole thing works well. Glad to see your picture of yourself. We often fail to look at the bios given to PSA.
The only suggestion I would make is maybe to turn yourself upside down as most of these old cameras had a screen that did that, I think. I have no other suggestions; thanks for giving us something to think about.
