A very light and joyous image! I love the colors.
Thank you for the description of your very interesting process in getting these images. Fascinating!
The composition feels very balanced and serene. I especially like the little figure in the center.
My only suggestion is that the lower left corner is so intense that it throws the balance off a little for me. I would consider toning it down or adding an equivalent intensity in the upper right corner.

Great suggestion! I think it works well in b&w.
I think I must have been subconsciously inspired by your January image, Phillipa. It occurred to me right after I put my image up on the site. |

Great idea! I think you've captured these fellows' spirit of danger and adventure.
I especially like how you have the guy and rock in the foreground, giving a lot of DOF and perspective to the background. Excellent composition, creating a circle of interest.
The background mountainside is a little out of focus, so you might consider a bit less brightness and sharpness on the guys on its surface.

Such a fun idea! Great title, too.
I love the water pouring out of the clock.
This is such a cheerful scene, with all the flowers and the bubbling spring. Beautiful job with your selections, as always. Your addition of Original 2 looks so organic I thought it was part of the spring shot until I realized it was one of your originals.
Because the image is pretty much equally bright throughout, my eye feels a bit restless. I would consider a little selective decrease in brightness or exposure. |

Interesting!
I think it is the ambiguity that I like most in this sort of image. I'm just sort of playing with it to see what works for me.
Here's one with hair, sort of. |

Wonderful! Such a great expression! Perfect title.
Love the composition and the colors. You did a great processing job.
Really a marvelous shot!
The purple in the sky feels a little off to me. I can see it would be a difficult sky replacement. You might consider just cloning in some more tree fronds using the "darker color" blend mode on the clone tool. |

Very nice!
Wonderful composition and excellent crop. You softened the skin to the point that she looks almost abstract, and it works very well. Her legs look luxuriously long.
Beautiful light.
Great title.
On my monitor, the edge of the cello gets a little lost in the shadows, so I would consider bringing it out a bit. |

Great shot!
It definitely looks like snarling to me. Wow, look at those teeth!
The soft background works really well. I think you made a good choice in flipping the image; it does work better.
The image looks dark on my monitor, so I would consider lightening the shadows and increasing overall exposure. Maybe it's just my equipment. |

Great image!
Perfect lighting, very dramatic pose. I think going to pure white on the background was a great choice.
I love the look of the reflection. You got the opacity and the alignment spot on.
Shortening the layer also made their bodies wider. If that was not the look you wanted, you could hold the Shift+Alt (or Shift+Option) while you drag the mouse when you do a transform function. That will keep everything in proportion.
Or you could use the perspective function of Transform, per attached.
His right lower arm looks atrophied; I would consider a little local transform there too. |

I personally would have gone for a bit less blue on her face if it was my image, but I do think it works well as is. It looks like the energy is reflecting off her face and does work to tie Celeste into the background. |

Such a fun picture! Celeste is really adorable. I think you captured her energy in a great way.
I do like the bright active background; I think it expresses all that youthful energy.
Great concept and a wonderful subject.
My eye is drawn more to the bottom half of the image because of the white around her dress and the brightness of her legs. I might have considered flipping the background vertically and adding a little more headroom. |
