56 Mar 18 Reply Thanks, I think I will rework this before using it again. The consensus seems to be to eliminate the signage and to lighten up her upper body/head area. I appreciate everyone's feedback. Your example helped me visualize a different result. Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Comment Without changing the colors of the original--which were already perfect--you were able to lay-in some great paint strokes that make this jump right off the page, or rather, screen, Cyril. But, I agree with Nancy that you need to remove the dark strokes on the left side of Rebecca's face. The deep angular shadows don't look right. She's a beauty and doesn't deserve to have those marks there that cause one to wonder if she's been sort of beat-up. Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Comment It's nice how well the pastel patterns work with your image, Nancy. Like Kathy's starry bright sky, you brought two such different parts together and they coordinate very well with the pier. Now that the silhouette has been lightened, it reveals so much more of the very interesting tower portion. I really like this a lot, Nancy! Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Comment I could just look and look at this wonderful painting, Gerhard! I am very impressed with the individual brush strokes which give a furry texture to your Springbok. The background, which echoes the strokes in the fur, gives an energetic aura around the beautiful animal instead of just being overly bright, flat and distracting as it appears in the original. The only thing that I would change would be to make the nose area a little bit brighter, as it appeared in the photo. Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Comment This was such a creative use of compositing two such unlike images! The beefed-up colors of the carnival ride certainly complement the brightened Milky Way to give the feeling that they are swinging high into outer space. I wish I had taken a cache of such nice starry night shots, since I can see you get a lot of mileage out of yours. While the original State Fair silhouetted image is really great-looking, you have been able to improve it into some wonderful art, Kathy. Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Comment This is what spring is really like. While not "painty-looking", you used Topaz Impressions tools well on this image to reinforce the looks of the little tulip in snow without the distracting, albeit realistic, brown patches of ground. I love that you kept the feathery snowflakes intact.
I differ in opinion from what Gerhard mentioned. Actually, I LIKE the green as you have it in its neighboring plant on the upper left, since you removed the other one on the right top part. The background leaves now have some frozen texture that blends well with the snow.		 Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Comment From a fairly bleak flat-lit original, you created a more interesting-looking painting with the small touches of color and by eliminating small details that added nothing to the scene, such as the left-side boulder, bare snowless patches and the part of the base of a tree at the lower right.
The woman in red really draws my eye into the painting now and the greeny-mossy-yellow light on the left sides of the trunks gives it some punch. I like the faint shadows you added for the trees, too. As Cyril already noted, it's very peaceful.		 Mar 14th
56 Mar 18 Reply Thanks for your comments, Cyril. You are correct; it was Old South Church by Copley Square. I looked at the photos I took of the exterior of the church just before this shot and fortunately, I had photographed the name on the building. Mar 2nd
