41 Aug 17 Comment Very nice effect. Reminds me of a windy day. I think you could loose the stem on the flower. Normally I would say that the stem is needed to anchor the flower, but here I think it just breaks up the swirl. Aug 14th
41 Aug 17 Comment Its a great shot of the horses and carriage, but the background trees are a distraction. The cloning of the background is noticeable. The treatment of the road seems a bit overdone and I see quite a bit of noise there. I agree with Charles in that the gray road is better left as is. If you can replace the background trees with something else entirely, I think you might have a better image.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. You've done very well to work through this. Keep up the good spirit!

41 Aug 17 Comment This has a nice soft feel to it. Almost like a watercolor painting. You used a good recipe. I think you could crop a little more on the left side, but it looks good as is also. Aug 14th
41 Aug 17 Comment I would have never thought to blend these particular images, but somehow it all works out. The lines, shapes, colors and texture are blended into a pleasing mix of rich toned architecture. Great idea for an abstract image. Aug 13th
41 Aug 17 Comment This is a great idea and well executed. I am drawn in by the "light" at the end of the tunnel. The man at the rear is in perfect position, looking like he is angling the boat into the tunnel. I would love to see the article, but the Photoshop Creative magazine is very hard to get and expensive here in the US. Aug 13th
41 Aug 17 Comment Carol, I'm having a tough time with this because I see some problems with your original image that I don't think can be overcome. The lighting has produced some blown-out reflections that I don't think you can recover with any post-processing technique. I think the lighting should have been softer and perhaps coming from different (lower) angles. I also think that the watch gears need to be arranged more neatly - there is too much chaos in the arrangement that you have here. I want to see the details in the gears, but the lighting and arrangement are not allowing me to do so. I attach an arrangement of gears that I photographed at a macro photo conference a few years ago - I cannot take credit for the arrangement that was done by someone else, but perhaps this can be used as an example of a more interesting way to do this, if you still have the watch gears. I think I used a diffuser to soften the overhead light that I had to work with. Aug 13th
