34 Sep 21 Reply Thank you. Sep 24th
34 Sep 21 Reply I'm happy you like the image. I didn't think to change the color because red is a color of good luck in many countries in Asia. Thank you for taking the time to show me the difference. Sep 24th

34 Sep 21 Reply Thank you all for your help with the shadow. I changed the shadow as if it were more overhead as dictated by the shadow on the wall on the left. I think it looks better. I'm happy to have your shadow help as I seem to be inconsistent with my shadow perception. Sep 12th

34 Sep 21 Comment Brian, welcome to Group 34. As you can see from the variety of images in the group, there are a lot of different approaches to being creative. Don't worry about the "training wheels." We all used them at one time or another. I admire your tenacity for learning Flaming Pear Flood. It works very well in your image. It's a beautiful combination of soft colors accented by bold colors. In addition, the branch looks like it really is growing out of the water. Sep 4th
34 Sep 21 Comment This image says, "Welcome!" The path and the flowers are joyful harbingers of a warm household. The path leading to the house is well constructed with your brown paintbrush and is finished off well with your pink and white "dots." Personally, I find the bird on the roof distracting, but that's a matter of taste. Nice work. Sep 4th
34 Sep 21 Comment Very creative and well executed! I love Liquify, and you used it to perfection. Nice work. Sep 4th
34 Sep 21 Comment PBB Sketchography did wonders for the boat and the dock. When I first saw the image, I wondered how you got such a terrific image. I Googled PBB, and the website said their version was for Photoshop CS 1, 2 and 3 not for Photoshop CC versions. Do you have Photoshop CC? I really like what you with the boat and the dock. The dog has the appropriate tentative look but appears a little cut-and-pasted. Overall, quite nice. Sep 4th
34 Sep 21 Comment I wondered how you got the nest to cover the fender until I read your description. The blending is flawless. I have an African image that I've been working on thinking it's just a cut and paste job of different African scenes. The absolute success of this image helps to convince me to finish my image. I just hope it's this good. Sep 4th
34 Sep 21 Comment Good enough to be the album cover of music that is appropriate to the scene. The sharpness of the Goth figures really pulls the eye into the image, and your use of flood is outstanding here. The moon and all of the other parts work together beautifully. Sep 4th

54 Sep 21 Reply Thank you for taking the time to write such informative feedback. I was considering this image for an entry in a state wide camera club competition, and your description of my image has convinced me to go for it. I'm going to keep the sky dark in keeping with the dream-like aspect of the image. In a dream the sky can be dark and the reclining woman light. Sep 23rd
54 Sep 21 Reply Thank you and welcome to Group 54. Sep 16th
54 Sep 21 Reply Forgot to mention: open a new layer above where you want to "paint" with Clone Stamp. Make sure that "Sample: All Layers" is checked in Clone Stamp. That way you can adjust the "paint" and not effect the original. Sep 14th
54 Sep 21 Reply I'm always happy to be mentioned in the same sentence with Magritte. Thank you. As far as the left calf is concerned, I probably (this image has been on the back burner for a few years) used the Clone Tool as a paint brush. I do that a lot. Simply select the Clone Tool and begin as if you are going to clone an area, but paint as if the clone tool were a brush. The brush will "paint" whatever area the crosshairs are on top of. Try it. You'll get the hang of it. Sep 13th
54 Sep 21 Reply Thank you. Sep 12th
54 Sep 21 Comment I like the father-daughter moment. I took the liberty of attaching a cropped version of your wonderful blending as I feel the father-daughter moment should be more central. My version is not perfect, but I think it demonstrates what I'm getting at. When I grow up, I want to be able to blend like you. Sep 7th
54 Sep 21 Comment Beautiful wave. It doesn't have to be realistic to be effective! It still has the power of a large wave. Pity the poor seagull. The colors of the wave are pastel while the power of the wave is the opposite of the softness of pastel. I feel the cloud in the upper left draws attention from your complex wave. Overall, nicely done. Sep 7th
54 Sep 21 Comment You definitely lived up to the challenge. Seeing the spirit in those images is quite a creative feat. The colors have an Asian cast to them and support the idea of your spirit. Nicely done.

54 Sep 21 Comment Quite imaginative! I've encountered moose in the forests of Alaska and bear in the forests of northern NJ, but I've never encountered a naked woman. I'll keep looking. Sep 7th
