3 May 24 Comment That was a huge corona you got. I can't imagine taking a shot like this while banking in a plane. I'm so happy that you had that experience. We have to admire those who went out of their way to get the eclipse. The corona is immense and I congratulate you for getting this unique shot. May 16th
3 May 24 Comment Mary Ann, I admire your grit in getting in closer to the terns. I am so glad you took a trip to the San. Francisco area and spent time working on our coastline, which is one of our iconic tourist spots. The only suggestion I have is to crop in even more and make it a vertical with the terns and some vegetation plus some water showing. I wold show you but I am having problems with my screen capture software. I am located only 20 miles from San Francisco, so know the area pretty well. Love the shore.

3 May 24 Comment Kieu-Hahn,
What a great tulip photo. Sharp front to back which is often hard to do without focus staking. The backdrop at the top is a little hard for me to make out, could be my eyes. In a way, the dark top helps keep our eyes into the tulips in the frame. I think you have a good balance between the white tulips and the red ones. Very cheerful for the beginning of spring. Nice work.		 May 2nd
3 May 24 Comment Ruth,
I think you had a great idea here. I would make it more obvious by removing the tree trunk on the left and the one on the far right and filling those areas with your camera motion background.. As it is now, we can hardly tell that the BG is so abstracted. Your idea is a good one, but to me, it just needs a bit more of the background to make it more impressionistic.		 May 2nd
3 May 24 Comment Michael,
It is indeed an interesting abstract, but your title could possibly reflect that better than what it actually was. .Maybe Abstract with Blue. or some such. I like the triangle of red objects. Also your eye is being something unusual and taking the photo. Working with it in Lightroom got rid of sone of the small spots that made the image too complex. Good idea.		 May 2nd
3 May 24 Comment Andres, This is definitely bits and pieces. My eyes are not very good so I can't tell what everything is. It looks like a lemon, garlic eggplant, possibly fresh ginger, Sorry I can't make it out better. The item in the center is kind of gross looking. The problem with taking something like this is that it doesn't give you the chance to rearrange it into the best composition. I admire your thinking that this is an unusual still life photograph, but, unfortunately, for me it does not make it into something I would like to look at. You can tall me more in your reply. Since I have fairly advanced macular degeneration, I have problems with seeing what you must have seen. May 2nd

18 May 24 Comment Jim, This is an interesting. piece of art. somewhat like my hand in the sand, it is definitely someone else's artwork, but I like the idea of changing the background and making it more your own. The colors are great and there is a lot of impact. Maybe you could do something more to the "person to make him look less like the original.
I think our group needs a discussion about how abstract is the final product an how we define creativity. Also we should discuss the use of someone else's artwork.		 May 18th
18 May 24 Comment Great job with the extraction ion the flowers from the rest of the original picture. Adding the colorful and somewhat opposite in the color wheel for a background and the texturized presentation really makes this stand out. Very well done. A beautiful final image. May 18th
18 May 24 Comment Gunter, This is a marvelous project you are shoe ing us. First, I'd like to day that your original poppies images is wonderful in and of itself, andI I prefer it,But the, you are trying to be creative. I love your concept of the sphere and the enticing colors of the sphere, the blue and green. Somehow, to me, when you darken the flowers so much they lose some of their appeal. I am not familiar with the programs you are using, but I wonder if you had been able to change the sphere color to just leaving it white, it might have worked out even better. But then I don't know these applications, so I don't know what is possible. May 18th
18 May 24 Comment Welcome to the group. No-one else has been trying the lens baby and I know it depends on which lens baby you are using. I guess part of the creativity is finding which pats of the image would be out of focus, and that is very difficult to do.You have chosen to gave the outside of the tree OOF and that is fine as it brings out eye into the flowers in the foreground I have never used one, but I would try different approaches with it. Just see what you like the best.. With a symmetrical tree like this on,, it is hard to imagine what would work best, so just play withI it until you fid something you like Glad you are experimentally with a le nsbaby. May 18th
18 May 24 Comment This is so much better than the original. You use of a sketching tool really takes this from a muddy, uninteresting original to an n image of what really brings out the turbines. I'm so glad you cropped way in and limited the final image to a few black and white contrasting sketches. Really nicely done and great that you saw the potential in your original.
Thank you.		 May 18th
18 May 24 Reply I had some concerns abut the artwork. It is something that has a very creative aspect to it as its own concept by the artist. You are right that I have taken someone else's creativity and just tweaked it a bit. May 18th
