21 Apr 22 Comment Joan, Looking at this image as an image without any knowledge of how it was produced, I quite like its simplicity. I like the tonal strength of the dark grasses in the foreground (within which you have retained detail and not reduced it simply to a silhouette) and the compositional strength of the tree placed off-centre in the mid-ground. Technically, I accept Steve's comment about the focussing through the picture but pictorially to me that doesn't matter as my eye travels from the dark foreground straight to the tree and I enjoy the scene for what it is. The limited colour palette works for me and I don't have a problem with the scale of the clouds. In fact, I had difficulty in finding which part of Original 2 you actually used. Irrespective of what digitial imaging techniques you used, you have created an image that looks real. The creativity is in the mind's eye of the author in assembling the various disparate elements and putting them in the correct place within the frame to create that pseudo-reality. You know that the composite picture is not true reality but the viewer doesn't know that and does that really matter anyway? I would suggest not. Apr 18th
