54 Jul 24 Reply It's not the heat. This isn't one of my favorites. Jul 18th
54 Jul 24 Comment The comments above are quite thorough. There's little to add except that with the pastel colors and your architectural design Disney might consider creating an immersion environment around your idea. Jul 15th
54 Jul 24 Comment Your concern of the flatness of your image is addressed in your title . . . it's a dream. It can be misty, clear, hot and humid, etc. Bruce gave me the same advice about hands a couple of months ago: portraits and hands don't mix. I usually don't have a face and hand together, but I see what he means here. Works well as a dream. Jul 15th
54 Jul 24 Comment I agree with the above, but given my entry this month, I would use the crane to capture the moon and place it between the children. The moon is hard to see in my version, but it's no longer in the sky. You could size it to you own tastes and even give it a slight yellow glow. Your image has a lot of surrealistic potential.

54 Jul 24 Comment What a good idea to have Lilliputian children climbing a leaf. Their body positions fit the leaf as if they belong there. I agree with 2 comments above. One child might create more tension, and there's a bit too much variation of focus throughout. The snowy background highlights the last leaf of the season, but the fact that the trees reveal too much of a wide-angle lens effect is distracting. I have photographed a few "last leaves" but none as impactful as yours. Jul 15th
54 Jul 24 Comment Everyone loves old castles and beautiful young women. Put them together in a well-balanced composite and the image is a success. The colors and textures fill out the rest of the image to give the eye places to go and rest. However, I'm afraid I must disagree with Kirsti. She sees "a confident smile," but I see a condescending one that is evidence of her forthcoming inheritance. Confident smile or a condescending one, everything works in this "centuries' old" composite. Jul 9th
54 Jul 24 Reply Thank you for your comments and for noticing the effect of being too close to your subject with a wide-angle lens. This is why we are in the Digital Dialogue group--for others to see what we do not see. Had I seen the elongated arm, I would have shortened it. Jul 6th
