18 Dec 23 Comment Yes, this is bright and colourful, and works well! I especially like the frame. Good image, well constructed! Dec 7th
18 Dec 23 Comment I like this a lot. The riders are still identifiable and if anything the sense of speed is actually increased by the process. Just two things slightly irritate, but not greatly.
1. The bottom half of the number 6 of the centre rider's bike is lacking the hole.
2. There is no space above the left rider's head and the top of the image. This could be improved by cloning in an extra small layer.
Then to my mind - perfick!		 Dec 7th

21 Dec 23 Reply I could, but I like the space for it to fly down!

21 Dec 23 Comment I know how hard it is to get the perfect action shot like this one, even with the camera in motor drive! I imagine that you had to take several shots to get lucky with this great image. Thank goodness we don't have to shoot with film anymore! One to be proud of! Dec 16th
21 Dec 23 Comment Lovely image of the Jay, caught with a great pose. The brown background helps the colourful bird to stand out well! We do get Jays in UK but nothing like this! I can't offer any improvement to this great shot! Dec 16th
21 Dec 23 Comment A nice image of this bird facing forward and emphasising that huge beak. The background and the shore details haven't been kind to isolate the Skimmer from it's background, but the detail of the bird is good. Thanks for showing this interesting bird! Dec 16th
21 Dec 23 Comment What a good shot of the bird in flight! I like the way that it has obligingly turned on it's side to give you a full view. The background is nicely diffused, but still gives one the location information. I agree about lightening the head and that amazing beak! Dec 16th
21 Dec 23 Comment Great action picture of this colourful bird. One good thing about this group is viewing birds that we never see in UK. I have no problem with the water since the the basic colour is strong enough to override the petals. I might try lightening shadows to give more definition to the birds body. Other than that, a terrific image! Dec 16th

34 Dec 23 Comment A super image which has movement from the background and the shape of the bird. I love the fluorescent colours that you have created. The one area that I am not sure about is the flock of flying birds which appear slightly indistinct in my monitor. The bunch on the left are fine but could be slightly brighter, but for me the ones in the centre distract from that beautiful spiral, and I wonder whether they are really needed? Lovely creation! Dec 12th
34 Dec 23 Comment A very colourful triptych of sharp abstracts. You have cleverly created 3 different images from the one original. If it were mine, I might leave a small border round the total, the same size as the one between the images, and then a small frame around the whole triptych based on the blue or the orange. Just a thought! Dec 12th
34 Dec 23 Comment You have created a beautiful and believable image of Maxwell, which is a definite improvement on the composition of the two originals. The Christmas decor and the frame complete a super seasonal shot. I bet the family would love Christmas cards based on this image! Dec 12th
34 Dec 23 Comment Very good abstract pattern! The curves work very well and the image has come alive with the flow and the colours. The centre cross of red lines is also well placed. Great work! Dec 12th
34 Dec 23 Comment You have created a believable composition from the two main elements. I particularly like the extension of the sea to fill the remainder of the frame. You have also managed to bring out detail to the face and body of the fire dancer. I do wonder whether the boat really needs the red fender and rope, since it would be easy to clone these out, and wouldn't lead one's eye away from the dancer? Well created! Dec 12th
