18 Sep 23 Comment A great image. Magritte would have been proud of it. The boost in saturation brings everything to life and the frame completes perfectly. Sep 13th

21 Sep 23 Reply Thanks Tom! Sep 16th
21 Sep 23 Reply They certainly have a taste for them. This one was today! Sep 15th
21 Sep 23 Comment Great shot of this colourful bird, and a non-distracting background. The branch with all that moss is also a great departure from the usual brown twig. One to be very pleased with. Sep 9th
21 Sep 23 Comment Super shot, with a background that doesn't distract. I am happy with your sharpness, and to alter sharpness on the flower could oversharp the bird. I might suggest a small amount of shadow lightening to increase the beautiful patterns on the bird. Sep 9th
21 Sep 23 Comment Sharp capture, perhaps a bit tight in the frame. Egrets can be difficult to capture and can tend to white-out. For egrets and swans I normally reset exposure down 1 - 2 stops and correct in photoshop. That way detail is usually preserved. Sep 9th
21 Sep 23 Comment Sharp image, well focussed. From the shadow detail the lighting was not in your favour. A good capture all the same. The bird is different from the most common kestrel we get in UK. Sep 9th
21 Sep 23 Comment It looks similar to the grey heron that we get in UK. The background is not particularly interesting, but you had to accept what was there at the time. Softness is probably due to flight movement. I tend to set at ISO 1250 these days. Sep 9th
21 Sep 23 Comment A tremendous shot! I wish I had been there. No suggetions for improving such an amazing image, Sep 9th
21 Sep 23 Reply Re the focus - this was part of the original shot, and they were moving very quickly! Sep 5th

34 Sep 23 Reply It would be nice to see it when you do, Frans! Sep 21st
34 Sep 23 Comment A great image which works well with all the integral parts and your amazing imagination. The pink school bus is so much nicer than the ones in UK, and the dog in the back window is a touch of genius! I am just a little worried that the bus seems to be slanting slightly to the right! Is the suspension on the blink? I have to agree with Steve W about the clouds. A super pic as usual! Sep 8th
34 Sep 23 Comment A super original, and the solarization gives it a colourful twist which works well. My only suggestion would have been to reduce the degree of solarization slightly since the colours are blending into each other slightly! Sep 8th
34 Sep 23 Comment This is a superb set of images. I can only marvel at the original captures, and the clever way that they have been combined. I have no suggestions to how this terrific image could be improved. When I first joined a PSA creative group I was unaware that the creativity was limited to an altered image, since in my view this is a wonderful example of creativity in it's true sense. Sep 8th
34 Sep 23 Comment I think that this has the makings of lovely image. I would suggest that the flower would work better if it was smaller in the frame leaving more of Original 2 on the outer edges. Also for me too, the image appears a bit dark. A worth-while work in progress I feel! Sep 8th
34 Sep 23 Comment An good original shot. It took me a while to notice the cat, and even longer for the bird. I notice that you have rotated the cat horizontally, but I think it would have looked OK as in the original, facing into the image. Also, might I suggest that the bird would look great placed on the roof of the right-hand car! These are minor points to an already great creation! Sep 8th
34 Sep 23 Comment It is an interesting image, not without some good humour, which is always good to see! She does look as if the gladioli was growing out of her nose, and she seems to be proud of that! I agree that the face could have been a tad brighter! A fun creation! Sep 8th
