Thank you Henry! I am glad that you enjoyed it! Tom and I love to teach and inspire and teaching workshops in person is something we definitely miss. We usually travel quite a bit between workshops and our own travel, but changing our mindset to 'Artist in Residence' helped a lot.
In addition to real-life workshops we also teach and mentor via Zoom |

Thank you LuAnn!
It really helped to mentally think of this period as our 'Artist in Residence' period.
I am glad that you enjoyed the webinar -- I have another one with PSA on a different topic on June 18th.
Tom and I love to do workshops and have been doing many via Zoom until we all can gather safely again... |

Yes! I agree completely, I have transformed every horizontal surface into little photo setups. The top of the dryer is for light painting. I have the water drops out, all four light boxes, a light tent, etc. I went from viewing this as #stuckathome to #safeathome to my "Artist in Residence" period
I love the flowers used and the composition. The Bee adds a wonderful element not present in many lightbox images -- what a cool addition.
The rice paper texture adds to the feel of the image. I love hi key images because it is so easy to add a texture using multiply blend mode and nothing else
The only thing I can think of to improve it to heal a few of the white lines in the texture, top, as they are a little distracting
wonderful creation! Especially during this time! |

I love the bird coming out of the frame, adds so much impact as this hungry little bird begs for food. wonderful! |

I love the colors and the three images used. Original 2 really ties it all together. The bus out of context is too saturated, but it works perfectly as an element. I like everything, down to the foot and drip out of the frame...
one thing... these are no details as to HOW you created this, we are all here to learn, so please include what layer you added to which in which order, what blend modes, what filters on what originals, etc. -- inquiring mind want to know. You can even make a frame animation showing the steps that you used and the progress, it is a fun learning tool

I really like the concept, but the processing of each does not seem to fit perfectly. I see your comment, note to yourself, about compositing and then editing. Also, as Kathy mentioned, tie it all together at the end with Topaz or Nik/DxO or a color blend mode.
This kind of image -- and all of the learning that we get from it is EXACTLY why DD is such a good tool! |

First of all I am jealous that you have great safe places near you. Nothing where I am, and the parks are closed at capacity by 10am in the ones that are here. I am however making the best of this and we have planted many plants and trees and I have done a ton of indoor projects, from water and oil to lightapinting inside. We transformed this from #stuckathome to #safeathome to our "Artist in Residence" period, but i do miss traveling and exploring.
The image itself is really neat. I like the placement of the ball and the tree and the clouds -- Wowza! Nicely done! |

I like the composition and the filter used. I have always loved Fractalius. The effect her works so well with her youth and expression. love it
Three Two things I would do to improve
-- darken out the license plate, where it is located it takes me out of the frame. I come in at her eyes and smile and down her legs and then to the plate; without it, I would more easily make the trip back up.
-- the bright lens flare, distracts me, I want to stay on her face and since this is the only color and only big round thing I end up on her calves and feet
-- the white sky. the viewer's eye is drawn to the brightest part and I want to stay on her -- wish that the compositions had had more trees behind her head. |

I like the subject. the composition is different, but the car is a little soft and the busy background is in focus. I would go back there and try again, making sure to move a focus point to the truck window (or manually focus) -- this has a lot of potential. |

love this! love HDR for graffiti. The color and composition are great!
You have a leading line going to the man.
I have been doing well with my 'Artist in Residence" period, but I so miss going out to places like this. |

Sorry to hear about the access -- seems like more and more places are becoming off limits or harder to access. The texture is superb! Love the green as it juxtapositions with the blue.
I love the image, the grasses really make this unusual and allow it to pop. I do like Larry's cropped version. |

wow, love this. Never been there, gotts add it to me list.
I love the leading line. Great use os a HDR pano
interesting "I created the pano first, light, middle and dark" I have never had that work, the software cannot usually merge the dark or the light, but perhaps here there was not solo much tonal range that it worked. |

I agree with you about the tree trunk. Perhaps IU could have used a luminosity layer and masked that part back in. Good catch |

Thank you for the detailed description -- helps us all learn!
I like the subject matter and actually like both your composition and Judy's square composition as well. Hers really makes that one cloud really pop out and become a focal point.
I like the contrast of the left side of the image. The right side seems flat to me. |

I love how the reflection caught your eye! Very interesting scene.
The BW end result has lots of tonal range.
I would darken the leaves on the left side so your eye stays on the Cypress tree and knees more. You could also darken the grades a tad to keep the eyes on the Cypress. |

I like the panoramic feel, but the bottom is the brightest part and draws your eye to that portion, when the sky and the pier are more interested.
You have a good eye to be drawn to this scene, do you like storm clouds?
I liked the pano feel but like the edited version even more since all of the weight is on the great sky |

I like what you did here Judy -- and Chan, this is a good example of how these PSA DDs help each other! We sometimes forget that is the thing that attracted us to the scene when editing. One thing I do and recommend -- is when the image is "finished" temporariliy turn it upside down and see if your eye goes to what you want the viewer's eye to go to.
