56 Jan 24 Reply I enjoyed your comment, Nancy. Unlike other painted images, you had to do yours MORE than once! First to capture a shot you wanted to use, then to separate the dancer, then to add a background, then to oil paint the final. So you should be able to have the last laugh.😉 Jan 25th
56 Jan 24 Comment I remember that you mentioned the other time that you wanted to do some more painting with toe shoes as a subject. So you fulfilled your resolution. The painting is marvelous and the colors on point. Nice that you thought to add matching shades of color into the background. Keep it up! Jan 25th
56 Jan 24 Comment This bird looks slightly different from any woodpeckers I've come across, more of a pattern on its back. While I agree the bark has an improved look, I find that it seems to draw my eyes away from the bird a bit. One thing you handled so well was the sharp look added to the bird's eye. It comes across well now that it's a painting. Jan 25th
56 Jan 24 Comment My congratulations on being honored in the Showcase this month! Fantastic shot!
Your shipwreck turned into a great painting, with all the elements in places that help my eye move throughout. Great colors, too.		 Jan 25th
56 Jan 24 Comment I agree with Gerhard that you did a masterful job of separating the dancer from the original surroundings. I like your final one even though it could have used a tad more space in front of the dancer, at the left side. What I like most is the paint stroke look. I don't know what is going on with the upper right side, as though the oil canvas is separating from its frame(?) Kudos on learning even more new techniques you can share with our group. Jan 25th
56 Jan 24 Comment While the original is an eye-catcher, your transformation via Topaz certainly heightens the interest! The colors you added bring an exciting edge to the image and help disguise unsightly elements that had detracted. The added textures and turquoise color give it a rather SouthWestern feel. Nice job!!

86 Jan 24 Comment The strong silhouette of the pier leads directly toward the rising sun. In such contrasty lighting situations, I'm surprised at the detail, both color and texture that can be viewed in the surf and beach, while the clear blue sky frames the top. The warm tones are pleasing. I'm glad you got out there early enough to capture this scene. I wish you a happy new year, too! Jan 25th
86 Jan 24 Comment This certainly is a photo that tells a story! As others already pointed out, the sandal-covered wet feet would have added to the impact, but I don't really mind losing the right side stalls. The man's dedication to making some sales despite obviously feeling miserable comes across very well, so great street /travel photojournalism! Jan 25th
86 Jan 24 Comment Nice portraiture, Ruth. Buttercup looks relaxed and the colors of fur and the green chenille pillow come through very realistically. It's a nice sharp image for a cell phone camera closeup. Jan 25th
86 Jan 24 Comment I love this shot as it is. The intense colors of the sky framed by the silhouetted branches cover the space so well and it's fortunate that your patience paid off when the beach-walker got to the perfect spot. Jan 25th
86 Jan 24 Comment Just my opinion, but I prefer the golden light of the original and the sort of diagonal slightly curved cut that's faintly visible (from low left to higher right, across the ridges,) that I don't spot in the black and white version. But on the other hand, you had a good idea to turn the composition diagonally. Jan 25th
86 Jan 24 Reply I like what you did, Steven, to brighten up the rear faces, that were lost in shadow. That is a definite improvement! Thanks for showing the resulf. Jan 10th
