Sorry about the title misunderstanding! I get it now, with the light from the stars coming down to the planets, and the light on the planet radiating out. I just thought of it referred to the feeling of the image as being transported to somewhere so different than here that it was a journey of time as well as distance.
Do you want me to update the title?
My night photo shoot was tremendous fun. I have not had a chance to more than glance at the results on my computer, but I have to admit that my photos looked much more impressive on my little camera playback window in the dark than on my monitor. No worries, a lesson learned. And a good excuse to go back in the spring and try again.
And it does increase my appreciation for your beautiful night shot here. |

Such a fabulous image! Very haunting and mysterious. I love your colors. Perfect balance of beautiful night sky to the soft mistiness of the ground. Very impressive night photography!
I think the man definitely adds to the image, and love Alan's suggestion that he is holding on. For me, he is much more interesting than the light or another inanimate object.
I agree with the others that he could be less opaque. I tried the attached with a layer at 55% in color blend mode and the same layer at 76% in luminosity mode. I enlarged him a bit to give him more visual weight (no pun intended) since he is less apparent.
Almost forgot - great title!

This really made me smile!
Great composition, and very colorful. I really like how the two ladies on the left have the same gesture while the foremost one is really going at it (as seen by the slight blur of hips and hand), as if they are taking turns being the featured dancer.

Phillipa, I don't have much to add to the above except that the image is amazing, and I love the whiskers and the fuzzy outline.
I did not have any problem discerning that it was a cat, but I must admit that I saw the originals first and so was already clued in.
I really like how the blue portion leads up from the back to the jaw; that and the light blue part on the upper chest really define the cat for me.
Fabulous!

I want to come to your house! But maybe I would draw the curtains.
I really love the curtains. I wish they looked like your original, just the top portion that you included.
Your composition is great, and the colors are perfect.

Thank you for your kindly-worded feedback, Alan! As I mention in my response to Brad, I think it is a good idea for me to apply the smudge tool on my present state of my image, though the feathering you mention would have been a good idea if I had thought of it sooner.
As far as the perfection of her skin and the giraffe, I do understand where you are coming from. The background of the source is difficult, so I thought about adding some stray hairs from a different source. However, my background in portrait photography makes me lean towards leaving it as is. PSA convention of portrait photography is towards an ideal, extremely clean look, which is further than my own preferences from reality, but when it happens naturally in an image due to flat light and a difficult background, I don't mind referencing it as my reason to leave the image alone. |

Thanks for your feedback. I have to admit they did not bother me, but clearly that's not unanimous, which is very useful to know.
Being this far into processing, I'm going to apply the smudge tool on the edges. Thanks! |
