John, I have always been a fan of the Edges filters as they can produce some quite graphic results. I like the way that the lines have delineated the players but I would like to have seen them a little lighter to stand out from the darker background. |

Barrie, Interesting how we all see and enjoy different things in images. For example, I enjoy more the lower half of the image which has some interesting shapes, patterns, textures and subtle colours that I find most appealing. The best part of the image for me are the two inverted trees on the left hand side set against the mushroom colour hill. |

Joan, Thank you for your kind words. The first vertical flip was for the original candle smoke and the horizonal flip was for the copy of the candle smoke. |

Peter, Understatement is very much an English trait! As a former Civil Servant, it is par for the course to ponder the question 'Why use 20 words when you can get away with 200?' I jest of course. |

Peter, I am familiar with 'Dust Breeding' by Man Ray which was taken in 1920 after visiting Marcel Duchamp's studio in Manhattan. The Exhibition 'A Handful of Dust' was held at Whitechapel Gallery in London June-September 2017, the main driver for which was that dust plays a divine agent for death. The notion of 'Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust' challenges the notion that dust is dead. These images are good examples where inanimate objects take on animate resonance; in this case the feeling that the picture was taken from an aircraft. Of the images in this exhibition I gravitated more to the sepia toned versions per example below. |

Joan, Your arrangement of the 15 images taken at the vehicle cemetery is lovely and on this side of the pond they would form the basis of a submission for the Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS). As a photographer who doesn't do sharp, I warm to the muted colours, the abstract shapes and the flow of the rust patterns. All that is the theatre backdrop against which you need someone to perform and you have that in the viewer in the lower right quadrant. I tend to agree with Steve that the floor/wall intersection needs some perspective applied as it looks physically flat and in the same plane. I like the shadow behind the images but I feel that the viewer seems to be floating despite the shadow behind him. I find the display notice in the bottom right hand corner a little distracting. However, overall this is an amazing composite which I like very much. Well done. |

Peter, Thank you for your kind words. It is amazing how smoke (in my case) and clouds, waterfalls and beach scenes (in your case) can be transposed into something quite different. I look forward to seeing the outcome of your permutations. |

Steve, Thank you for your kind words. I particularly like images where inanimate objects take on human resonance. I bet this would look amazing in 3D. |

Betty, What a lovely surprise. Thank you for your kind words which are very much appreciated. You may recall all those years ago that you got me hooked on producing smoke images. I shall always remember your smoke image of the horse and rider which was stunning. I am due to visit Sodbury and Yate PC on 18 February to judge the competition and I hope you are able to attend. |
