Thanks for visiting and for your comments. I thought the pews were such an important feature of the church - modern churches don't have the 'boxes' in the pews - and I was trying to give a 'walk' around the building. I appreciate that it may not be the best of compositions, but that wasn't what I was after.
Thanks again for your comments. |

Thanks for the therapy. I too feel better for looking at your image.
It's a difficult choice, but I think you've come up with my image of the month again.
The whole composition and treatment work so well. You've created a masterpiece! |

An excellent piece of work. Well done.
Your perception in seeing the possibility of the arches in the original is to be applauded.
I feel that the religious man should be walking towards enlightenment, so I used Filter > Render > lighting, to give him a source of light to aim for. This also necessitated a shadow which I did with a low opacity brush on a new layer.
You're going from strength to strength. Well done again. |

This is superb. The composition and the way you've worked the clouds is excellent. What did you use to introduce the light from the right?
Have you tried Alien Skin Eye Candy - the lightning from there can be very good, and quite controllable - see the attached image from a couple of years ago.
It strikes me (not the lightning) that you're definitelt not too old for a bit of globe trotting - if this is what results from it, we're on a winner.
Good to have you back! |

A fine composition! I can understand your reasons for trying to recreate your memories - I think there's a lot of it about this month.
I'd have been tempted to retain a little more of the water, so that the lighthouse was nearer the edge, but that's just a personal preference. You've put this together very well.
The Georgia OKeefe effect is OK, but I think I'd have reduced it's opacity a little, so that some of the untreated layer shows through. I've used a textured layer with reduced opacity and a layer mask to bring the lighthouse back to the Georgia OKeefe version.
I still like what you've done, but I feel it could be improved. Well done. |

I'm not sure about this image. Maybe it's the way that the shadows are going the wrong way (see the direction they're in from the original), or maybe the loss of some of the camel's legs, but something doesn't gel with it.
I'm all for some surrealism, but I feel it needs to have some reality to make it work. |

You've worked this well. I like the fog you've introduced and the way your granddaughter is fading into it. The obviously wet day has made the fog work really well with the wet steps.
The removal of the railings must have taken a while, but it was worth it.
I think maybe a different crop on the abbey could have worked better, so that the archway is slightly off centre.
I like the bird - is it a tern? Certainly not a gull. As you said, it was needed to complete the image. |

Thanks Jan
It's a bit of a special place for me and it's been good to share it. I think it needed the explanation to make the image work. |
