Good ideas Alison. I think i need to crop out the bottom half and work with the lines of the top half. And I will go on line to search out Georgia O'Keefe's work.
The filter? I will tonight see if I can find the name of the Topaz filter I used. |

Good ideas Andrew. I have some spring reflectors of various sizes and some fabric samples I could experiment with next time. |

Catherine isn't it fun to experiment and try new things! You have a wonderful selection here! Another experiment would be to crop in about a third of the way on the right and a little on the left to form a vertical image with a different artistic effect. Keep experimenting!
Alison and Andrew have some wonderful ideas to expand your creative efforts. |

Hi Alison, I can imagine the fun you must have had with the boys making this come out!
For a little more punch you might try having the tree and lighting show a little more in the background. Great image! |

Jamie, isn't this fun seeing what others see in our images! As photographers, we can't take ourselves too seriously. Have a great day! |

Jamie, observant catch of the ice crystals and yes black and white is the way to go!
I would also say another variation would result if you cropped off 1/3rd of the bottom and right side. My wife commented that it would be a good frog face with two protruding eyes. |

Moira, great Christmas image with wonderful great bokeh! It would be excellent as a Christmas card.
I find the four light spots distracting. Would spotting them be helpful?
Andrew, alison, and Jamie have good ideas. I think showing the photographer in the reflection is ok, something I hadn't noticed until I blew the image up.
Nice work! |

Andrew, nice job of cloning in the rotor blade. The clouds and smoke flares do a nice job of filling space that otherwise would be empty.
What about just cropping in closely so its just the chopper, a cloud portion, and flare smoke? Well, maybe not because one would lose perspective.
I know what you mean by the tele lens hunting for focus, a problem I have had with bird pictures.
The chopper is nice and sharp. Alison and Jamie have good comments.

Lisa, I had to burst into laughter when I saw the title "twirled, zoomed, burst, gerber daisy". It is a wonderful floral creation! It works, showing that this is a flower, yet an artistic, new way, your vision, of looking at it.
I don't have any suggestions but I will try some of your experimentations in my own work. |

And the light of the Lord shown down! Magnificent! You took three images and blended them into a new concept. I have nothing to add except to want to look over your shoulder as you put these together.
I'm curious: is original 2 in Death Valley which would be logical for you as a resident of California but it doesn't match my recollection of what death valley looks like. |

Well Maryellen, I have spent most of my life in northern Minnesota and this is what a fox in a snowstorm looks like! The eyes are sharp, the pose indicates the fox is ready to move on. Your use of filters and gradient really worked.
Now here is my personal bias: the original of the fox has slightly more color and the fur is so sharp and interesting, that I would be tempted to retain it in the final image. But in a snowstorm, of course these details would be blurred.
Great creation! |

Ah, Brownie Duluc, you have the drop! Kathy, what fun you must have had thinking out the elements of this image, getting friends to pose, getting a window shot,etc. Black and white works perfectly and the lighting of the hands and faces is the focal point. Eleven layers - Wow!
Now, my problem with my tired old eyes, at first I didn't see the outline of the hand gun. Can you increase the contrast of the gun outline so it is more prominent, perhaps as much as the faces but, of course, hard to do with a black object. Now that I look at this closely again, I think I just scanned the image too quickly without registering the details in my brain.
Great concept! Keep it up with new ideas! |

Kathy, your suggestion of using content aware to increase the space at the bottom is a great technique which I will have to try. |

Brad, this does have a Van Gogh feel to it. To me it has the feeling of loneliness, of two people walking an empty street beneath yellowish street lights when the rest of the city is watching tv or in bed. And it does have the feel of the Pacific Ocean stretching away to the west. What I like is that you have taken a photograph and made it into an artistic creation of what is in your mind. Great work!
The responses of the others above me are really interesting, especially Kathy's comments on how to add more space to the bottom.
