We witnessed gull attacks last summer in Mousehole, Cornwall. |

Hmmm. I showed (digitally, projected) the original, the new "blue" version above and my "final" to a local group of photographers. Most preferred the final, one liked the original and a few liked the blue. Statistics, averaging all responses including this group: most males liked the final; most ladies liked the blue!!!!! |

The enhanced contrast of Steve's version helps. As is , it feels a bit flat. |

I'd vote for a larger bird also. |

Thanks for the suggestions. The main reason I did not stop with "Original 3" was that the fine foliage at the base of the groundcone had been lost. So now I have eliminated Step 4, applied another inverse Curves adjustment layer with a backwards S shape, then added a B&W adjustment layer (all colors -200 except Cyan+25 and Blue -100; layer in Luminosity mode). Then I stamped up and applied Nik's Color Efex 4 with Detail Enhancer and Tonal Contrast only on the lower foliage. Now the foliage comes through. |

Definitely an homage to Klimt. Your methods of creating the dress and background are amazing. The lady (hand, face and chest) though does feel pasted on, not quite really a part of the rest of the image. |

I like the twirl effects but here they overwhelm the face. Perhaps a strong vignette centered on the face would help. |

The kind folks at the local Forest Service office tell me that the plant is a northern goundcone (Boschniakia rossica). It is a parasitic herb, growing only in far northern latitudes. |

Well done. Your new background works very nicely. I might be tempted to burn in a bit her necklace, but otherwise it is perfect. |

This is a neat idea and I like the overall effect. The seagull though seems too dominant. I think the image would work just fine without the gull or if it were much smaller and it's beak not so colorful and prominent. |
