Steve, This is a very dramatic image with immediate impact. The sky reminds me of polaroid and colorvir film processing set above the houses which have taken on an inverted negative aesthetic. Compositionally, I prefer your uncropped version. The triangle at the bottom is leading us towards the herring-bone cobbles on the street. Standing in our way are the three triangles facing the other way which creates a barrier that I find quite attractive in the overall visual story. |

Peter, I like your image which follows the tried and trusted strategy of a person in the foreground in one of the lower quadrants looking at someone else's art work in the background. It works for me so well done. I like the judge's comment that it was good enough to hang in a museum which is exactly what you are portraying in your image. I also like the crispness and colour saturation of the original although the colour variations you have applied have enhanced the overall visual and artistic aesthetic. |

Phillipa, Clearly, this has been a labour of love for you, having taken six months to resolve the problems of supporting the wave sculpture. Visually, I like the idea of a conical shell resting precariously at the top of a waterfall which adds to the overall dynamic of the picture. I like Joan's version where the surrounding distractions have been cropped out. There are some lovely shapes, patterns and textures in the waterfall. |

Susan, The keynote with any digital imaging is to learn by doing and clearly you are doing just that by trying and then modifying the various techniques. I like the way your manipulation is an iterative process; you try something, it doesn't give you exactly what you want so you tweak it a little further. I like your original image which has compositional strength with the road providing a left-to-right lead-in and the reaper providing foreground interest. In your final image, I quite like the visual disconnect between the falling rain and the shadow of the reaper wheel. Unfortunately, the pink cast in parts of the picture doesn't work for me. |

Phillipa, It is indeed an old lens in front of her right eye. It was important that the face was free of the oil filter effect to increase the overall visual aesthetic. |

Joan, Your image this month is very creative and clearly a labour of love. The spherize filter has been used to good effect and the arrangement of the spheres with shadows in front of and behind the window frame works very well to give added depth to your composite. I wondered whether an odd number of spheres would work better compositionally? I quite like the image rotated 90 degrees clockwise to a portrait format. See attached. |
