54 Feb 24 Comment Everything works so well, here. Almost. But I'll get to that later. The growth attaching itself to the church; the muted color of the green leaves; the giant rocks; the ominous sky; and the red shoulder of the man that helps draw the viewer's eye into the image knit together like a well-made sweater. This composite makes one want to go where the man is. As for the "almost," I find the well-preserved condition of the church in such a menacing image distracting. A personal observation. This is still a powerful composite. Feb 12th
54 Feb 24 Comment The photo of the shorebird and reflection in Original 1 is a treasure. I'm a sucker for taking pictures of bird reflections and have way too many. There are 2 things at work for me, here. The first is "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" The bokeh, for me, draws attention away from your lovely bird. The second is to share with you my own frustration with my predilection to take so many reflection pictures. I decided to provide a different reflection for a classic pose for one of my wading bird photos. Just thinking outside the box I constructed for myself. Feb 12th
54 Feb 24 Comment This image has several strong points that work well together. (1) The strong diagonals of the buildings create realistic three-dimensionality, and (2) the circling birds are a certain sign that the princess's demise is coming as they await her remains for their next meal. (3) I agree with Peggy about the color of the princess--it's stronger in her version. You've done a very good job of putting all of the pieces together into a successful composite. Feb 12th
54 Feb 24 Comment This is reminiscent of Vincent Price's movie "The Fly." The woman is placed very well onto the web. You can feel her weight as she lays there. The red background foreshadows the blood that will be the result of the spider getting his next meal. Nice work. Feb 12th
54 Feb 24 Reply The building isn't angled in the middle. I used the Gradient Tool to show the fading light as the sun sets. The darker rea on the right is the building as the sun sets, and the brighter area on the left is the sun still shining on the building. At least, that was my intention The druids are "standing" on the balconies of hotel rooms. Feb 11th
