25 Jul 25 Comment The subject (model) is quite striking, but I find the typewriter seems to be "larger than life" Jul 15th
25 Jul 25 Comment It's very interesting how you stacked the parts of the image from the front to back. Looks like it covers a pretty long distance and yet everything lines up. Jul 15th
25 Jul 25 Reply Glad you noticed the banana bread mix. That's the feature that really clinches the idea that the produce manager has a sense of humor, as well as a program for moving bananas along. I didn't mention that the brown paper bags were filled with the slightly over-ripe bananas all ready to be taken right home to make up with the mix. Yum! Jul 15th
25 Jul 25 Comment Very nice capture of the mushrooms. I especially like the way you handled the shadows. I also got a big smile spotting the frog in the left foreground. Jul 5th
25 Jul 25 Reply Thanks for the explanation. Now it all makes sense. It's fun studying the overlap of the bouquet and its reflection. Jul 3rd
25 Jul 25 Comment I really like the new presentation of the subject. I especially like the sort-of "mise en place" (to borrow a culinary term) of the fallen flowers and lily in the foreground, as well as the framing. I'm having a hard time figuring out the layering of the vases and the reflections of the face in the lower left corner on what looks like a second layer. Jul 2nd
25 Jul 25 Reply Smile!! I do see the similarity in point-of-view :)

As for Photoshop I started from ground zero back around 2006. At that time, with a new camera, I took a photography class. The instructor would deliver everyone's negatives to a developer in a nearby town and retrieve the results. Only problem was that I had one of those new-fangled cameras that only produced digital negatives. So I secured and learned to use a "new" program (Photoshop Elements). I kept returning to take additional classes and, of course, soon everyone had digital cameras and we progressed through the iterations of Photoshop and eventually Lightroom (which I rarely use). Along with the instructors' guidance through software-intensive classes and my own "try-everything" curiosity, I learned many facets of Photoshop in depth. I sort of topped out relatively recently with all the new stuff (think AI, etc) and still do most things the "old" way. I also spent endless hours with Photoshop's tutorials and video presentations over the years and still return to them when I "forget" something or want to use something that's new or updated.
