That's funny, Nancy. Here you're removing the horns that belong there and I had had to make the effort to locate its second horn from another photo to add it back in, so it wouldn't appear to be a unicorn. Yes, it's supposed to have horns. ;-) |

This is an interesting shot, very well-balanced, composition-wise. I like that you maintained the original colors in the painting. The rocks almost look like a snake, coiled to strike. I see what Jeanine noticed, although I'd overlooked it at first. I think that the upper righthand rocks and upper left side of the tree seem a little sharper than the rest of the image. Do you think it was a consequence of the AlienSkin filter? It's certainly not objectionable. I like the sharp original enough that I'd love to see you try other filters that maintain or exaggerate the sharpness for a different look, too. |

Since I am usually sitting on the "navigator" side of the front seat, I also take a lot of moving shots out the window, when stopping is out of the question, so your original with the mirror and window frame made me chuckle. You always manage to make them into realistic paintings, too. The butterflies are a pretty addition.
The only thing that sort of makes me uneasy is the slant of the landscape. I know it's a hill, but maybe it's because now that the flowers are straight, the clouds also seem to flow downhill.
Thanks for reminding me about SnapArt. I did install it, but once I started trying out Topaz, I forgot to use it. I remember that I also used and liked the Impasto.

Jeanine, you made a great start in this painting group because it truly does look like a real painting! The encroaching fog is lovely and soft and I agree that you had foresight in changing the dock's shape. I wouldn't have thought it would make such a difference, but in the original, it sort of blocks the eye's movement through the frame and distracts. You created a harmonious view by eliminating the clutter and lightening the tones with a combination of filters. Nicely done. |

Thank you for your kind words, Cyril. I hope you might try painting an animal image once in the future, for fun.
And on second thought, this might have been the Dama Gazelle. I wouldn't want to mislead any nature people with the identification. Hard to recall after seeing it over a year ago! But whatever it's called, I enjoyed working with the image. It looked so appealing in that flower meadow. |
