54 Jun 18 Reply It was especially interesting in this case because you were exploring such different concepts. I enjoyed the journey. Jun 27th
54 Jun 18 Reply Yes, that's always the catch!

Glad to have helped. Actually, going through the process helped me figure out a new approach to an image I started 2 years ago and was never happy with. Now to see if it works out.		 Jun 27th
54 Jun 18 Comment Thanks very much! Jun 25th
54 Jun 18 Comment I think the cat in the foreground adds nicely to the balance but I might have put it a bit down and to the left in the crumbling stone. Jun 25th
54 Jun 18 Comment So many great suggestions! It is so much fun to imagine each variation.
Thanks for sharing your thought processes, Alan! As Aavo said, we generally look for the original images used to create the final vision, but it was much more interesting in this case to see the evolution of your vision.
(Sorry to be commenting so late in the month; I have a lot going on at home.)		 Jun 25th
54 Jun 18 Comment An alternative is to create a frame around the left half. I tried that using a tree trunk as the frame.

Just a thought.

Thanks for bringing such an interesting image to the table! you made us all think!		 Jun 25th
54 Jun 18 Comment Sorry to be chiming in so late this month; lots going on at home.
This is such an interesting image! Wonderful title.
You've done a marvelous job adapting the colors to make them work as a cohesive whole. I love the light on all your originals, and how you have made it all work together.
I like your version per Phillipa's suggestions. But I miss the interesting angle of the tree against the dewy stem. You've got such an interesting dynamic going on there, especially with it framing the boat.
The difficulty I have with your submitted version is that the bright stem cuts the image in half. While the out of focus background is truly lovely with the stem by itself, it can't compete with the details on the left you have added.
I can think of two ways of addressing that. One is to add details on the right and decrease brightness of the stem a bit. I tried it by masking in a duplicate of your submitted version.

54 Jun 18 Comment This image is appropriately named, because it makes me smile.
Thanks for the details on your process, Phillipa! I know more people speak Photoshop, but it is great that you can guide the trailblazers who are artists on their phones.

I do love the textures and colors on this image. What keeps bringing me back, though, is the angle of the lines of music and that crease in the music book. They create a really dynamic composition. 		Jun 14th
54 Jun 18 Comment Aavo, this is an inspiring and difficult image. I think it's great you persevered, and am glad you shared it with us.

I think I learn more from my images that I couldn't quite pull off than from the ones that do work.

Wonderful concept. I really like how the rainbow goes in front of some trees and behind others, though it would make more sense to me if it passed in front of the trees furthest away.
I like everything about the wolf.

You might consider using different blending modes. The rainbow is translucent in the original, and it would be nice to see more of that in the final image. The attached is the rainbow portion of your final image masked in as 2 layers (one in screen mode, one in hard light) over the forest original. Hope that helps.		 Jun 14th
