Thanks for your comments, Randy. See what you think of my revised image further down. Do you like the other background better? |

I'm interested that you preferred my husband's long coat better for this shot. He was wearing the old jacket shown in the image when I asked him to be my model, and he didn't want to change it. He thought an inside stairway would warrant an inside jacket. I didn't question my model's taste. :) |

I looked at some of Olga Karlovac's images and can see why you thought of her when discussing mysterious images. I do like some of her photos with their long exposures. We've had several presenters for club meetings that also use long exposures, so I'm familiar with the process.
Thank you for your suggestions for using filters to make my image more mysterious. They are interesting. I'm a little concerned about making the image too dark, since it already has a lot of blacks and deep grays. |

Thanks for your comments.
A number of you didn't like the altered glass background, so I tried a version with a different background. It's dark clouds which I darkened and used with about 50% opacity on the sides. Some of you didn't like the white molding either, so I tried doing a content aware cloning to hide the line of the molding. Since the photo was taken at my house, I'm okay with leaving the carpet as it is. Do you like this version any better? |

I enjoy the colorful background of the colorful, cheery umbrellas. The sculpture you've included is at an interesting angle to show the girls' faces and outstretched arms. The diagonal lines of the shop tops lead my eye to the sculpture too. I'd prefer that the sculptured faces be lightened and sharpened to show their expressions even more. |

I like the "unknown" quality of the woman's expression. Like Stephen, I see her pose with the pomegranates as similar to the way a mother holds a baby. The red on her dress and hands also leaves a feeling of mystery. Beautiful image, Fatih! |

I find the leather processing scene fascinating. The man in the bright red shirt and cap becomes the center of interest for me because of his vivid clothing. The bags in the bottom center and left could be darkened to keep them from being a distraction. With all our concern about masks and gloves, it's concerning to see these workers working with toxic chemicals without either. |

Thanks for your comments, Fatih. I agree that more space above the man's head would keep things more in balance. I'll have to consider what other backgrounds I have to use instead of the sun altered windshield that might work better on the sides. |

I agree with your statement about your image. We all need those promises of hope in this world of virus and stay at home limits. The gracefully curved twig of the avocado points pleasingly to the avocado itself. The greens and blues are calming and pleasant. You could consider adding a slight vignette to keep the eye on the avocado and not the white clouds. |

I like the pose and facial expression that the woman has. I see the skin tone change from the original as an improvement, just the right amount of glow to the skin. The overall lighting you used worked well for you. The woman's right cheek might be a bit too light though. Kudos to you for trying something new, Mary Sue! |

I like the rich colors and petal textures in your image. The faint purples of the background are pleasant to my eyes too. It appears to me that the space above the flower is more than the space below it. It's a tiny detail, but I'd prefer that the spaces be equal or that the bottom space be sightly bigger. Beautiful image, LuAnn! |
