18 May 23 Comment It's that Topaz Expressionism filter again, that works so well!
I think your original is super, with so much depth of field, and this transfers it's sharpness to the final image.
I think that the whole composition is very well balanced.
Just a shame that we are reminded of the current Russian use of weaponry!		 May 2nd
18 May 23 Comment For me this ranks as ultimately creative, Ian. I have also used the Expressionism filter in Topaz. It is one of my favourites.
I am showing my ignorance, what is ACR please?
The vignetting inside the frame also works beautifully!
A super image which I reckon would do very well in exhibitions.		 May 2nd

34 May 23 Comment Many thanks for all your comments this month. May 26th
34 May 23 Comment I love the conversion to subtle silver mono, and the addition of the inner frame which works so well compositionally. The pieces of Tetris are well positioned, and create a super final image. I feel that this would work so well as a print. I bet your daughter-in-law loves it! May 2nd
34 May 23 Comment Another slightly psychedelic image, Steve. I do like your final colouration of the tree, but I wonder if the building and bits of roof are needed! A plain background with the colour of the rest would work well. I am also in two minds as to whether the sun is needed since it is very bright. A work in progress I feel, but one which is certainly worth continuing!

34 May 23 Comment Wow! A lot of patience must have gone into shooting all those originals! What sort of birds are they, remind me of kingfishers? I am not sure if it is a waterlily and it's reflection far left, but it seems to be the same colouration as the birds. Either way, I would get rid of it, since it interferes with the main activity, and the result would greatly improve the overall composition. I would also brighten the image slightly. A wonderful creation, not without a tad of humour. Brilliant! May 2nd
34 May 23 Comment I love the original, and the mono abstract also works well. The changed version emphasises the curves and angles. At first I was undecided which version I liked best, but the more that I have studied them I come to the conclusion that the final version is my favourite! Well done! May 2nd
34 May 23 Comment I like the idea of a second set of tulips since this fills the space well. The inverse mask has worked for the eyes and mouth, but perhaps could be used as well on the RHS of the nose, which is a little less well defined. There are some lighter areas of yellow and white at middle top which keep dragging my eye away from the main subject, and could perhaps be cloned with the leaves from either side? A lot of work has gone into this creation, which I think has been time well spent on an excellent result! May 2nd
