54 Jan 19 Reply Barbara, look at Jan Handman's work in Group 34. Many of her composites are skillfully rendered. Jan 25th
54 Jan 19 Comment The lone boat and hazy scene are as eerie as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner you may have read in high school. Personally I prefer this image without the frame of trees. The frame reduces the disequilibrium your composite has the potential to express. This image without the frame gives the uncomfortable feeling of waiting for the other shoe to fall. Jan 18th
54 Jan 19 Comment I applaud your exploration of blend modes, but for my taste hard light and vivid light are too harsh. Personally I have trouble shooting to the right so I use the HDR method to get details in the shadows. I see a different picture here. Reduce the size of the antelope and move it so the orangutan is embracing it. The orang has an affectionate look in his/her eyes and its fur is, as Aavo says, well defined Jan 17th
54 Jan 19 Reply I agree about the woman. I moved her away from the wall in my final submission and lost her shadow in the process. The repetition is my attempt as surrealism. I try not to tell too clear a story. What's story does Dali's Persistance of Memory tell? I don't claim to be in Dali's league, but I do study surrealists' works. Jan 13th
54 Jan 19 Reply I felt that if the woman were looking at a painting I would lose the surrealistic effect. I sent the 3 images but they must have fallen thru the cracks. The three images are the woman in the Tate Modern in London, the man in Cuba, and the building in Namibia. This is explained in About the Image section above. Jan 13th
