56 Apr 20 Comment This was a complex painting, but you made it look very natural and removed any extraneous details from the original to focus on this lovely portrait. I agree that she was probably all too willing to have you take her photo, so you should be able to find good subjects in any kind of reenactment of history scene in the future. I know how you feel about the difficulty of working up to shooting live subjects, even though I've taken studio classes, I sometimes feel uncomfortable asking and directing people to pose. Apr 22nd
56 Apr 20 Comment Well, Terry, if I hadn't seen the before and after side by side, I would never have figured out how the abstract arrived from the rusty original. The white background makes it seem more whimsical to me, as though you started with a palette with a few colors and made an abstract without any photo involvement. The blue line with the streaks calls to mind the logo for a History Channel TV show I've started watching about the Curse of Oak Island: Digging Deeper. Ha! I do think you have found the elusive money pit gold here. Apr 22nd
56 Apr 20 Comment Wow, Nancy, another gorgeous fanciful painting! I like your Cindy-inspired rework of the halo/wreath area a lot. The colors are nicely coordinated and make me think of autumn approaching. Apr 22nd
56 Apr 20 Comment The warmed-up colors give an entirely different air to this, Trey. I think you did well to crop off the sky to emphasize the intricate branch-work of the forest. That sure is one unusually-shaped tree you found.

The snow seems to be in motion, like a river flowing, instead of sitting there in the cold shadows.

Just one more proof of how beautiful Wisconsin looks at any time of year.		 Apr 22nd
56 Apr 20 Comment Thank you all for your comments. Now I see those bright hairlike weeds clinging to the stroke, so it doesn't look right and it calls attention away from my bunny subject. I'll work on toning those areas down next time and fixing the stroke. It helps to have these concrete comments to help me make improvements.

Anyway, I had fun creating this image and these darned rabbits don't like to pose very long for me, that's for sure. I was just glad he peeked out of those weeds long enough to shoot with my camera.		 Apr 22nd

86 Apr 20 Comment Well, I appreciate all your suggestions and will rework my image before I print it. Funny how I thought it was done, but a fresh set of eyes can help with suggestions to improve the look. Now that I see it again, I wonder why I didn't think about the cropping a bit more. Apr 22nd
86 Apr 20 Comment Traci's photo looks pretty decent to me, not terribly pixelated. Good thing you mentioned it, though, as several people had some good suggestions. Two things I especially liked were the cropping to emphasize her and also the little frame you added that made it look finished.

I agree that Jerry Hug is great with i-phoneography. I used to be in the same camera club he was in and he always had some good advice to share, as well as teaching at PSA Conferences.		 Apr 22nd
86 Apr 20 Comment I'm certainly glad you are feeling better and appreciate your timely contribution. A lot of frustration that you turned into a creative piece. The vibrant orangey color of the outer world shows up with the pale, slightly boring shade of the stuck-at-home in her jar--can't even walk along the beach--woman. Apr 22nd
86 Apr 20 Comment It's a beautiful, symmetrical image, very Easter-season appropriate, as the circles you added could well be taken as a crown of thorns look. It took me a moment to see the 'cross' in the negative space in the center. So clever of you to come up with this image. It's one that might be worth offering to a magazine for a front cover next year.
Who knew those whirley maple seed spinners would look so great?		 Apr 22nd
